install: migrate npm-shrinkwrap.json like package-lock.json

[robobun]

Problem

• bun install in a project locked with npm-shrinkwrap.json (and no bun.lock) ignores it: every dependency is resolved from scratch, nothing is printed, and bun.lock is written with the fresh versions. bun pm migrate in the same project exits 1 with error: could not find any other lockfile. Same on 1.3.14.
• Cause: foreign lockfile detection in src/install/migration.rs:41 only opens package-lock.json. npm-shrinkwrap.json is the same format (npm writes it with npm shrinkwrap, and npm install reads it in preference to package-lock.json), so nothing else is missing; the file is never looked at.
• The migrator also hardcodes package-lock.json in its lockfileVersion message and in five skip warnings, so just opening the other file would have reported it under the wrong name.

Fix

• detect_and_load_other_lockfile tries npm-shrinkwrap.json, then package-lock.json, and feeds whichever exists to the existing npm migrator (migrate_npm_lockfile). That order is npm's own (@npmcli/arborist lib/shrinkwrap.js, #filenameSet), so a project with both files migrates from the one npm would use. The yarn.lock and pnpm-lock.yaml arms are unchanged.
• The file name is passed down to migrate_npm_lockfile and the Migrator, so migrated lockfile from ..., failed to migrate lockfile: '...', the is lockfileVersion N, which bun cannot migrate message and the skip warnings name the file that was read. Output for package-lock.json is byte for byte what it was (the arborist snapshots in migrate.test.ts are unchanged).
• The npm install --package-lock-only --lockfile-version=3 hint stays valid for both files: arborist writes back to npm-shrinkwrap.json when that is the file it loaded.
• docs/pm/lockfile.mdx lists npm-shrinkwrap.json under automatic migration and states the precedence.
• Verified with test/cli/install/migration/migrate.test.ts (new npm-shrinkwrap.json describe block): bun install against a local registry installs the pinned no-deps@1.0.0 rather than the 1.1.0 a fresh resolve of ^1.0.0 picks, and requests only that tarball; bun pm migrate reads the file; shrinkwrap wins over a package-lock.json next to it; the skip warnings and the lockfileVersion 1 error/warning name npm-shrinkwrap.json; each migrated bun.lock survives --frozen-lockfile.
  • All five new tests fail on the unfixed build (could not find any other lockfile, or 1.1.0 installed with no migrated line) and pass with this change.
  • The rest of migrate.test.ts (131 tests, 57 snapshots) passes unchanged.

Background

• Foreign lockfile migration: when bun install finds neither bun.lock nor bun.lockb, Lockfile::load_from_dir calls migration::detect_and_load_other_lockfile, which builds an in-memory bun lockfile from another package manager's lockfile and reports Migrated::Npm / Yarn / Pnpm; install then saves it as bun.lock. bun pm migrate calls the same function and only saves the result.
• npm-shrinkwrap.json: npm's publishable lockfile. npm shrinkwrap renames package-lock.json to it; the contents and lockfileVersion are identical. It is what CLI authors commit and ship (bun pm pack already includes it in tarballs while excluding package-lock.json, matching npm-packlist). When both files exist in a project root, npm loads npm-shrinkwrap.json and ignores package-lock.json.
• LoadResultErr.lockfile_path is a &'static ZStr (NUL-terminated literal) used by the failed to ... lockfile: '...' reporters; the migrator's messages take a &str. The detection loop carries both spellings of each name so the single zstr! literal per file stays next to its plain counterpart.
• Not changed: npm's hidden lockfile (node_modules/.package-lock.json). It is a per-install cache of the installed tree rather than a committed lockfile, and the same thread that reported this noted it separately; this PR only covers the committed file.

Walkthrough

NPM lockfile migration now supports npm-shrinkwrap.json, prioritizes it over package-lock.json, and reports the selected filename in warnings and errors. Tests cover installation, migration, precedence, and fallback behavior.

Changes

NPM lockfile migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Lockfile selection and migration wiring src/install/migration.rs, src/install/migration/npm_lock.rs	Migration checks npm-shrinkwrap.json before package-lock.json and passes the selected filename through package migration.
Selected lockfile reporting src/install/migration.rs, src/install/migration/npm_lock.rs	Warnings and unsupported-version errors use the selected npm lockfile name.
Shrinkwrap behavior validation and documentation test/cli/install/migration/migrate.test.ts, docs/pm/lockfile.mdx	Tests cover shrinkwrap installation, migration, precedence, filename reporting, and fallback behavior. Documentation describes the supported lockfiles and precedence.

Suggested reviewers: jarred-sumner

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 58016

If npm-shrinkwrap.json exists but cannot be opened, Bun may silently use another lockfile or resolve dependencies afresh, violating npm-compatible precedence and hiding the underlying error. This should be fixed before merge.

Status: ready for review. No open review threads (the one CodeRabbit finding, about propagating I/O errors on foreign lockfiles, was withdrawn: that handling is unchanged from main and shared by the yarn and pnpm arms).

CI: every Linux lane (debian, ubuntu, alpine, asan; x64 and aarch64) and both Windows lanes are green; the handful of retried tests are known flaky tests in unrelated areas. The macOS lane (darwin 14 aarch64 - test-bun, the only darwin test lane in this build) has not run: that queue is backed up, its two shards have repeatedly expired before an agent picked them up and are queued again. The change has no platform-specific code, but it has not been exercised on macOS in CI yet.

Reproduced on the released build with a loopback registry and a lockfileVersion 3 npm-shrinkwrap.json pinning no-deps@1.0.0 under a ^1.0.0 range: bun install installed 1.1.0 and printed no migrated line, and bun pm migrate exited 1 with could not find any other lockfile. With this branch both commands print migrated lockfile from npm-shrinkwrap.json and the install keeps 1.0.0.

The five new tests in test/cli/install/migration/migrate.test.ts (npm-shrinkwrap.json block) fail without the src/install change and pass with it; the rest of the file, including the arborist snapshots for package-lock.json output, is unchanged and passing.

[claude]

LGTM — mechanical extension of the existing npm lockfile migrator to also open npm-shrinkwrap.json.

What was reviewed:

• The 'npm: block → for loop conversion: continue on open/read failure and return after processing preserve the original fall-through to yarn/pnpm; shrinkwrap-first precedence matches npm's own.
• Threading lockfile_name through migrate_npm_lockfile / Migrator to the five warning sites and the lockfileVersion message — package-lock.json output is byte-identical (arborist snapshots unchanged).
• Checked other package-lock.json references in src/ — all remaining hits are comments, not migration code paths.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

Adds npm-shrinkwrap.json to the set of foreign lockfiles bun install / bun pm migrate can migrate from. Since npm-shrinkwrap.json is the same format as package-lock.json (npm's publishable lockfile, written by npm shrinkwrap), the entire change is: (1) convert the single-file 'npm: labeled block in detect_and_load_other_lockfile into a two-iteration for loop over both filenames, and (2) thread the filename as a &'static str down to migrate_npm_lockfile, the Migrator struct, and five bun_core::warn! sites so messages name the file that was actually read. Docs list the new file and state precedence. Five new tests plus one added variant to the existing failure-fallback loop.

Security risks

None. The change adds no new parsing or trust surface — the same JSON parser and migrate_npm_lockfile path handle both files identically. The existing off-registry-integrity and git-committish validation apply unchanged. The only new state is a &'static str label used in format strings.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-moderate. The Rust diff is small and mechanical: a labeled-block-to-loop refactor with break 'npm → continue and an unconditional return at loop-body end (so once either file opens, the other is never tried and yarn/pnpm are skipped — same semantics as before). The filename plumbing is a straightforward parameter addition with no logic branching on its value. The one design decision — trying npm-shrinkwrap.json before package-lock.json — is npm's own documented order and is exercised by a dedicated precedence test.

Other factors

Test coverage is thorough: install against a local registry proves the pinned version is kept (and only that tarball is fetched), pm migrate reads the file, precedence over a coexisting package-lock.json is asserted, two skip warnings and the lockfileVersion 1 error/warning are checked to name npm-shrinkwrap.json and not mention package-lock.json, and each migrated lock survives --frozen-lockfile. The PR description confirms all five fail on the unfixed build and the existing 131 tests / 57 snapshots pass unchanged, so package-lock.json output is byte-for-byte preserved. I grepped src/ for other package-lock.json references — the remaining hits in install_with_manager.rs, install_binding.rs, Package.rs, pack_command.rs, and create_command.rs are comments or unrelated features (pack already includes npm-shrinkwrap.json per the PR description), not migration code paths that need updating.

[robobun]

Nothing to change from the review above. The diff is as described in the body: the npm arm of detect_and_load_other_lockfile now loops over the two npm file names, and the file name is passed through to the messages; the yarn and pnpm arms are untouched.

LGTM — mechanical extension of the npm lockfile migration to also try npm-shrinkwrap.json (same format, npm's own precedence order), with the file name threaded through to every warning/error string.

What was reviewed:

• Loop control flow in detect_and_load_other_lockfile: continue on open/read failure tries the next filename, return after a successful read commits to that file — shrinkwrap wins when both exist, and falls through to yarn/pnpm only when neither npm file opens.
• File::openat accepts the zstr! literal via &ZStr → &[u8] deref coercion; LoadResultErr.lockfile_path is already &'static ZStr.
• All five hardcoded package-lock.json warning strings in npm_lock.rs now use the passed-in name; package-lock.json output is byte-identical (arborist snapshots unchanged).
• New tests are hermetic (local/offline registry), concurrent, and cover install, pm migrate, precedence, warning wording, and the lockfileVersion 1 error path.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

The PR teaches the foreign-lockfile detector in src/install/migration.rs to look for npm-shrinkwrap.json in addition to package-lock.json, since npm treats them as the same format and reads shrinkwrap in preference. The single-file 'npm: labeled block becomes a two-iteration for loop over (name, name_z) tuples; whichever file opens and reads successfully is fed to the existing migrate_npm_lockfile. The lockfile name is threaded down as a new &'static str parameter into migrate_npm_lockfile and the Migrator struct so that the lockfileVersion error, the "migrated lockfile from …" line, and the five skip warnings in npm_lock.rs name the file that was actually read. Docs are updated to list npm-shrinkwrap.json and state precedence. Five new concurrent tests plus one addition to the existing "migration fails" loop cover the behavior.

Security risks

None. The change only adds a second literal filename to an existing openat in the project directory and threads a static string through to log messages. No user-controlled input reaches a new path, no parsing changes, no new network or filesystem writes.

Level of scrutiny

Low-to-medium. The migration entry point is production code, but the change is narrow: the 'npm block becomes a loop with identical body semantics per iteration, and every other edit is replacing a hardcoded "package-lock.json" literal with a parameter. The yarn and pnpm arms are untouched. package-lock.json behavior is provably preserved because the loop iteration for that filename is byte-for-byte the old block body, and the arborist snapshot suite (57 snapshots) that exercises real-world package-lock.json inputs is unchanged.

Other factors

• Control-flow correctness: continue on open/get_fd_path/read failure tries the next filename (matching the yarn/pnpm arms' silent-fallthrough on read failure); the unconditional return migrate_result after a successful read means shrinkwrap is authoritative when present and package-lock.json is never consulted alongside it — the precedence test asserts exactly this.
• File::openat takes &[u8] and its docstring notes &ZStr deref-coerces, so passing zstr!(...) compiles; LoadResultErr.lockfile_path is &'static ZStr so lockfile_name_z slots in directly.
• Tests follow the file's established harness (synthetic, localRegistry, migrate, frozen), are hermetic and concurrent, and each asserts something that fails on the unfixed build (no "migrated" line / wrong version installed / "could not find any other lockfile").
• The analytics counter lockfile_migration_from_package_lock_inc still fires for shrinkwrap — that's an internal metric name, not user-facing, and the format is the same.
• No CODEOWNERS on these paths.
