Problem

  • bun pm --help does not list bun pm diff (added in Add bun pm diff #39229). Bare bun pm does.
  • The bun pm command list existed three times. bun pm --help printed the copy in src/install/PackageManager.rs (CommandLineArguments::parse short-circuits to it). Bare bun pm and an unknown subcommand printed a second copy in src/runtime/cli/package_manager_command.rs. Add bun pm diff #39229 updated only that one. install: pnpm parity — dedupe, prune, pm licenses, audit fix, add --filter/--catalog, nested overrides, transitive update, and workspace fixes #38333 had to patch both, and the open pm fetch (install: add bun pm fetch #29509) and pm sbom (Add bun pm sbom command #29512) PRs patch both. A third, six-entry copy sat in tag_print_help in src/runtime/cli/mod.rs and is unreachable (pm is not in USES_GLOBAL_OPTIONS).
  • misctools/generate-cli-completions.ts builds completions/bun-cli.json from bun pm --help, so regenerated shell completions would miss diff too.
  • The second copy also printed wrong. It was a "...\n\ string literal, and a \ line continuation strips the leading whitespace of the next line, so bare bun pm printed every row without the two-space indent (which the completions generator's ^\s+bun pm match also needs). The same continuation strips the indent in three more messages written that way: the bun why / bun pm why usage text (why_command.rs:278), and the bun create react and bun create next redirect messages (mod.rs:1847, mod.rs:1861). The pre-port text had the indent in all of them.
  • tag_print_help has one more unreachable hand-written arm of the same kind, Tag::InfoCommand. bun info --help prints the text in CommandLineArguments::print_help (info is not in USES_GLOBAL_OPTIONS either).

Fix

  • Moves the pm help text into the Subcommand::Pm arm of CommandLineArguments::print_help, where every other install-family command keeps its text, and adds the diff block to it (its description padded to the column the other rows use). The one-method PackageManagerCommand struct in PackageManager.rs that held the text is deleted.
  • Deletes the copy in package_manager_command.rs. The bare and unknown-subcommand paths now call CommandLineArguments::print_help(Subcommand::Pm), which is what bun pm --help already called. The pm and info arms of tag_print_help forward there too, like the patch, outdated, dedupe, ... arms next to them.
  • Drops the trailing newline of the intro string, as the other intros in that function have. The merged text is the layout the pre-port implementation printed: bun pm --help loses one stray blank line, bare bun pm gets its indent back, nothing else in either output changes (diffs below).
  • Marks the first space of the indented lines in the why usage text and the two bun create messages with \x20, the idiom pm_version_command.rs already uses for this, so they print the indent again.
  • Correct because all three pm entry points are the same command list, and the runtime crate already depends on the install crate, so separate copies can only drift. The info arm change is dead code only. The \x20 change restores the text the Zig source had, byte for byte otherwise.
  • Intentionally left alone: the bun why help still has a usage text (bare why) and a --help text (tag_print_help) with different content, which is a separate consolidation. src/runtime/api/cron.rs has the same continuation pattern in generated plist/XML, where the indent does not matter. completions/bun-cli.json is not regenerated here (completions: regenerate bun-cli.json and test that it matches --help #38917 does that); whichever of the two lands second regenerates it.
  • Verified:
    • test/cli/install/bun-pm-diff.test.ts "bun pm help lists diff and its flags": bun pm --help and bare bun pm contain the indented bun pm diff [a] [b] row and its --stat, --name-only, -U, --json flags.
    • test/cli/bun.test.ts "bun pm with no subcommand or an unknown one prints the same help as bun pm --help": the three entry points print byte-identical stdout with the diff and default-trusted rows and one blank line before Commands:. Exit codes 0 / 0 / 1 and the unknown-command error on stderr are unchanged.
    • test/cli/install/bun-pm-why.test.ts "should show help when no package is specified" now holds the whole usage text as an inline snapshot, for bun why and bun pm why. It no longer installs packages from the registry; the usage path only needs a package.json.
    • test/cli/install/bun-create.test.ts "retired template names point at the replacement command": inline snapshots of the stderr of bun create react and bun create next. Inline, not a .snap file, so the indent stays visible in the test (and file snapshots do not work inside describe.concurrent).
    • Each of these fails on main without the src/ changes (checked by stashing them and rebuilding) and passes with them. The four files pass in full with the debug build, as do the existing bun pm --help assertions in bun.test.ts and the licenses help test in bun-pm-licenses.test.ts.
    • bun info --help output is unchanged. rustfmt --check on the touched Rust files. The pre-port-identifiers and port-era-markers source lints pass.

Background

  • CommandLineArguments::parse(subcommand) (src/install/PackageManager/CommandLineArguments.rs) parses the flags of the install-family commands (install, add, pm, why, info, ...). On --help it calls CommandLineArguments::print_help(subcommand), a match with one arm of help text per subcommand, and exits. The install crate cannot depend on the CLI crate (the CLI is its consumer), which is why these texts live on the install side and the CLI forwards to them.
  • PackageManagerCommand::exec (src/runtime/cli/package_manager_command.rs) runs after parsing and dispatches on the subcommand name. When nothing matches it prints the help and exits 0 (no subcommand) or prints "<name>" unknown command and exits 1.
  • tag_print_help (src/runtime/cli/mod.rs) is the help printer of the generic Arguments::parse, which create_context_data only runs for commands in USES_GLOBAL_OPTIONS (src/options_types/command_tag.rs). pm and info are excluded, so their arms there never run. Several arms for other install-family commands are already one-line forwards to CommandLineArguments::print_help.
  • In a Rust string literal, \ at the end of a line removes the newline and all leading whitespace of the next line, so "a\n\ followed by b" is "a\nb". \x20 is a space written as an escape, so it survives, and \x20 yields the two-space indent. Raw strings (r"...") keep the indent as written, which is what the print_help arms use.
Before/after output of a debug build (pm)

bun pm --help, before vs after (the only changes):

6d5
<
22a22,28
>   bun pm diff [a] [b]         show what changed between two versions of a package (or vs a folder/tarball)
>   ├ bun pm diff react            installed version → latest
>   ├ bun pm diff react@18.2.0 19.0.0
>   ├ bun pm diff axios@1.6.0:lib 1.6.1  only files under lib/ (also :file.js, or paths after the two sides)
>   ├ --stat, --name-only       summarize instead of printing hunks
>   ├ -U n                      lines of context (default 3)
>   └ --json                    one JSON document (files, patch text, notes, totals)

Bare bun pm, before vs after, with the restored two-space indent stripped from the after output. What remains is the two rows whose description column was out of line:

22c22
< bun pm diff [a] [b]           show what changed between two versions of a package (or vs a folder/tarball)
---
> bun pm diff [a] [b]         show what changed between two versions of a package (or vs a folder/tarball)
34c34
< └ --filter <pattern>      list only the matching workspaces' dependencies
---
> └ --filter <pattern>        list only the matching workspaces' dependencies

After the change bun pm, bun pm --help and bun pm bogus produce byte-identical stdout (cmp), with exit codes 0, 0 and 1.

Earlier shape of this PR

The first push only added the diff block to the PackageManager.rs copy and made the CLI forward to it. A review pass pointed at the sibling sites (the why and bun create messages losing their indent the same way, and the dead info arm), which the second push covers. The third push moved the text into CommandLineArguments::print_help, which removed the struct and the comment that explained it.

Reproduced on a debug build of main (258517a): bun pm --help | grep -c 'bun pm diff' prints 0, bare bun pm prints 4. The two paths printed different copies of the command list, and bare bun pm printed every row unindented.

This PR keeps one copy of the pm help text, which bun pm --help, bare bun pm and an unknown subcommand all print, and restores the indent in the other messages that lost it the same way (bun why usage, bun create react / next). Tests: test/cli/install/bun-pm-diff.test.ts, test/cli/bun.test.ts, test/cli/install/bun-pm-why.test.ts, test/cli/install/bun-create.test.ts. Each fails on main without the src/ changes and passes with them.

LGTM — consolidates three copies of the bun pm help text into the one that --help already used, and adds diff to it.

What was reviewed:

  • Confirmed the deleted print_help in package_manager_command.rs had no other callers; the PackageManagerCommand::print_help() reference in CommandLineArguments.rs:879 is the install crate's own struct, not the deleted runtime one.
  • tag_print_help's PackageManagerCommand arm now matches its sibling arms (Patch, Outdated, …) which already forward via pm_print_help.
  • New tests assert the three entry points (--help, bare, unknown-subcommand) produce byte-identical stdout with the correct exit codes, and check the diff row's indentation and flags — they fail on main per the PR description.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR deduplicates the bun pm help text. Three copies existed: one in src/install/PackageManager.rs (used by bun pm --help), one in src/runtime/cli/package_manager_command.rs (used by bare bun pm / unknown subcommand), and an unreachable stub in tag_print_help. #39229 added bun pm diff but only updated the second copy. The fix: add the diff block to the canonical copy, delete the other two, and forward all three call sites to CommandLineArguments::print_help(Subcommand::Pm). Two new tests verify the outputs are byte-identical and contain the diff row with correct indentation.

Security risks

None. This is help-text output only — no parsing, no user input handling, no file/network I/O changes.

Level of scrutiny

Low. Pure help-text consolidation with net-negative Rust LOC. All three paths now call the exact function bun pm --help already called, so the only observable changes are (a) --help gains the diff block and loses one stray blank line, (b) bare bun pm gets its two-space indent back (the deleted copy's \-continuation string literal was stripping leading whitespace). The PR description includes before/after diffs of both outputs.

Other factors

  • Verified the only remaining PackageManagerCommand::print_help() reference (CommandLineArguments.rs:879) is the install crate's own local struct, imported via use crate::package_manager_real::PackageManagerCommand — not the deleted runtime one.
  • The tag_print_help change makes the PackageManagerCommand arm match its neighboring PatchCommand/OutdatedCommand/DedupeCommand arms, which already forward via pm_print_help.
  • Tests follow harness conventions: tempDir, bunEnv, concurrent pipe draining, assert output before exit code. The bun.test.ts test correctly uses the enclosing describe's NO_COLOR: "1" env; the bun-pm-diff test creates a package.json so PackageManager::init succeeds for the bare-bun pm case.
  • This directly implements REVIEW.md's "one implementation, in the right place" and "delete dead code in the same PR that makes it dead" guidance.

Since the first review, three more pushes:

  • 4dc8407: the same \ continuation that unindented bare bun pm also unindents the bun why / bun pm why usage text and the bun create react / bun create next messages. Fixed with \x20 as in pm_version_command.rs, with exact-output tests in bun-pm-why.test.ts and bun-create.test.ts. The unreachable info arm of tag_print_help forwards to CommandLineArguments::print_help like the pm arm now does (bun info --help output unchanged).
  • 56ebf64: the pm text moved into the Subcommand::Pm arm of CommandLineArguments::print_help, where the other subcommands keep theirs. This deletes the one-method struct in PackageManager.rs and the comment that comment-cop flagged. The rendered text is unchanged. bun pm, bun pm --help and bun pm bogus still print identical stdout.

The PR description is rewritten for the current shape. Left out on purpose (listed in the description): the separate bun why usage vs --help texts, the plist/XML continuation in cron.rs, and regenerating completions/bun-cli.json (#38917). CodeRabbit has been rate limited on every push and has not reviewed.

…lp text

`bun pm --help` is printed from the help text in src/install/PackageManager.rs,
while bare `bun pm` and an unknown subcommand printed a second copy kept in
src/runtime/cli/package_manager_command.rs. The `bun pm diff` entry was only
added to the second copy, so `bun pm --help` (which is also what
misctools/generate-cli-completions.ts reads) did not list it. The second copy
also lost the two-space indent of every line, because it was a string literal
using `\n\` continuations, which strip the leading whitespace of the next line.

Add the diff entry to the PackageManager.rs text and make the CLI print that
text through CommandLineArguments::print_help, so bare `bun pm`, an unknown
subcommand and `bun pm --help` print the same thing. The unreachable
abbreviated pm list in tag_print_help forwards there as well, like the other
package manager commands in that match.
…the dead info help arm

The bare `bun pm` copy removed in the previous commit lost its indent because
a `\` line continuation strips the leading whitespace of the next line. The
same thing happens in the remaining three messages written that way: the
`bun why` / `bun pm why` usage text and the `bun create react` / `bun create
next` redirect messages. Mark the first space of those lines with `\x20`, as
pm_version_command.rs already does, so they print the indent the original
text had.

The `Tag::InfoCommand` arm of tag_print_help is unreachable for the same
reason as the `pm` arm (`info` is not in USES_GLOBAL_OPTIONS; `bun info
--help` is printed by CommandLineArguments::print_help). Forward it there like
the other package manager arms instead of keeping a second copy of the text.

The `bun why` usage test no longer installs packages from the registry; the
usage path only needs a package.json.
Every other install-family subcommand keeps its help text in its arm of
CommandLineArguments::print_help. The pm text sat in a one-method struct in
PackageManager.rs that the Pm arm called, which needed a comment to explain.
Move the text (unchanged) into the arm and delete the struct.

LGTM — help-text consolidation with no runtime logic changes.

What was reviewed:

  • Three copies of the pm help text collapse into the Subcommand::Pm arm of CommandLineArguments::print_help, matching how every other install-family subcommand keeps its text there; verified no remaining references to the deleted PackageManagerCommand struct in src/install.
  • The \x20 indent fix in why_command.rs and mod.rs matches the existing idiom in pm_version_command.rs; the removed setupTestWithDependencies helper in bun-pm-why.test.ts has no other callers.
  • Four new tests pin exact output for all three pm-help entry points, the bun why usage text, and the bun create react/next messages; the comment-cop feedback was addressed by deleting the struct in 56ebf64.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR consolidates three duplicate copies of the bun pm help text into a single source in CommandLineArguments::print_help(Subcommand::Pm), adds the missing bun pm diff entry to that text, and restores two-space indentation that Rust's \-line-continuation had stripped from four multi-line messages (bun pm bare output, bun why usage, bun create react/next). It touches five Rust files (all help-text/string-literal changes plus one struct deletion) and four test files (new exact-output assertions).

Security risks

None. This is purely help-text output. No parsing, no user input handling, no filesystem or network operations changed.

Level of scrutiny

Low. The changes are:

  • A string-literal move from one file to another (PackageManager.rs → CommandLineArguments.rs), following the existing pattern used by every other subcommand arm in that match.
  • Deletion of two now-redundant copies (package_manager_command.rs's print_help, mod.rs's inline pm/info arms) with the call sites forwarded to the single copy — the same forwarding pattern the neighbouring patch/outdated/dedupe arms already use.
  • \x20 prefixes on continued lines to restore the two-space indent, using the exact idiom already in pm_version_command.rs:464-470.

None of this touches control flow beyond which help printer is called, and the tests assert byte-identical stdout across all three pm entry points.

Other factors

  • The comment-cop bot flagged a paragraph-long comment in an earlier revision; the author responded by removing the struct entirely (56ebf64), which is the right fix and resolves the concern.
  • Verified that the deleted PackageManagerCommand struct in src/install/PackageManager.rs and the removed setupTestWithDependencies helper in bun-pm-why.test.ts have no remaining references.
  • Test coverage is thorough: each of the four new tests targets a specific output path (pm --help/bare/unknown identity, diff row + flags, why usage exact-match, create react/next exact stderr), and the PR description confirms each fails on main without the src changes.
  • The bun-pm-why.test.ts change also improves hermeticity — the usage-text test no longer runs bun install against the real registry, since that path only needs a package.json to exist.

Rebased onto main (79a2799, same diff) because the only failed job in the previous build was binary-size. It compared this branch, based on 258517a, against canary main 39fde48, and main shrank by about 550 KB in between (#39484 dropped unused libarchive formats, #39486 / #39489 shared the string table init lambdas, and a WebKit upgrade landed). None of those 19 commits touch the files in this PR. The test entries in that build were retries that passed.

LGTM — help-text consolidation with exact-output tests.

What was reviewed:

  • Three copies of the pm help text collapse to one in CommandLineArguments::print_help; all three entry points (--help, bare, unknown) now call it and are asserted byte-identical.
  • \x20 indent fix in why_command.rs and the two bun create messages matches the pm_version_command.rs idiom; verified against Rust's line-continuation whitespace-stripping rule.
  • Removed PackageManagerCommand struct in PackageManager.rs and its import in CommandLineArguments.rs — no other references.
  • bun-pm-why.test.ts drops the unused setupTestWithDependencies helper (only the modified test used it) and no longer hits the registry for the usage-text path.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR consolidates three drifted copies of the bun pm help text into a single source in CommandLineArguments::print_help(Subcommand::Pm), adds the missing bun pm diff entry, and fixes lost two-space indentation in four \-continued string literals (bun why usage, bun create react/next redirect messages) using the \x20 escape idiom already used elsewhere in the tree. It also forwards the unreachable PackageManagerCommand and InfoCommand arms of tag_print_help to the shared printer, matching neighboring arms. Five Rust files and four test files are touched.

Security risks

None. Changes are confined to CLI help-text output and string-literal formatting. No parsing, no user-input validation, no auth/crypto/permissions.

Level of scrutiny

Low. This is help-text plumbing: moving a static string from one file to another, deleting dead duplicates, and fixing whitespace escapes. The only behavioral question is whether all callers of the removed code now reach the new location — verified: CommandLineArguments.rs drops the PackageManagerCommand import, package_manager_command.rs calls CommandLineArguments::print_help(Subcommand::Pm) directly, and tag_print_help forwards via the existing pm_print_help helper.

Other factors

  • The comment-cop bot's feedback on the earlier revision was addressed by deleting the flagged struct and comment entirely (all inline comments resolved).
  • Tests are strong: exact-output assertions on all three bun pm entry points (byte-identical stdout), full usage-text comparison for bun why/bun pm why, and exact stderr for bun create react/next. Subprocess pipes are drained concurrently, tempDir with using, exit codes asserted last.
  • The bun-pm-why.test.ts change also removes a registry-hitting helper for a test that only needs a package.json — a hermeticity improvement.
  • The PR description documents that each new test fails on main and passes with the fix, and that bun info --help output is unchanged despite the dead-arm rewiring.

LGTM — help-text consolidation with exact-output tests.

What was reviewed:

  • Verified the three pm help copies collapse to one Subcommand::Pm arm; package_manager_command.rs and tag_print_help now forward via the same pm_print_help pattern the neighbouring arms use.
  • Confirmed the \x20 indent idiom matches pm_version_command.rs; the deleted PackageManagerCommand struct and setupTestWithDependencies helper have no remaining callers.
  • The Tag::InfoCommand forward is dead-code-only (info is not in USES_GLOBAL_OPTIONS); the live bun info --help path via CommandLineArguments::parse is unchanged and still covered by the existing usage-line test in bun.test.ts.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR consolidates three drifted copies of the bun pm help text into the single Subcommand::Pm arm of CommandLineArguments::print_help, adds the missing bun pm diff block there, and fixes leading-whitespace loss in four \-continued string literals (bun why usage, bun create react/next) using the \x20 idiom already in pm_version_command.rs. Two dead tag_print_help arms (Pm, Info) become one-line forwards matching neighbouring arms. Four test files gain exact-output assertions; the bun-pm-why help test also drops an unnecessary registry install.

Security risks

None. Changes are confined to static help-text string literals and which function prints them. No user input parsing, no network/filesystem paths, no auth/crypto.

Level of scrutiny

Low. This is help-text output and dead-code removal, not runtime logic. The Rust string-continuation whitespace-stripping behaviour is well-defined and the \x20 fix is the established repo idiom. The consolidation follows the exact pattern already used for Patch/Outdated/Dedupe/etc. in tag_print_help.

Other factors

  • Each new test asserts exact byte output (not toContain), including the two-space indent, exit codes, and stderr — meeting the "strongest invariant" bar. The PR description confirms each test fails on main and passes with the fix.
  • The removed setupTestWithDependencies helper had no other callers and hit registry.npmjs.org; its replacement is hermetic.
  • The comment-cop bot flagged a paragraph-long comment in an earlier revision; the author responded by deleting the struct that needed explaining, which is the right fix.
  • No prior review from claude[bot] on this PR.

933c9b2 converts the two new exact-output tests to inline snapshots on normalizeBunSnapshot output, as the review thread asked. No source change in that push. The reviews of 79a2799 and 90a2c9d above need nothing else.

LGTM — help-text consolidation with the duplicate copies deleted and the \\-continuation indent restored.

What was reviewed:

  • Verified the three pm help entry points (--help, bare, unknown subcommand) now route through the single Subcommand::Pm arm; exit codes and stderr for the unknown case are preserved.
  • Confirmed the \x20 indent idiom matches existing usage in pm_version_command.rs, and that the tag_print_help Pm/Info arms are unreachable (neither tag is in USES_GLOBAL_OPTIONS), so forwarding them is dead-code cleanup only.
  • Checked setupTestWithDependencies has no remaining callers after removal, and that the describe.concurrent.each inline snapshot in bun-pm-why.test.ts is safe (both why and pm why call the same print_usage, so one snapshot value covers both).
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR consolidates three duplicate copies of the bun pm help text into one (the Subcommand::Pm arm of CommandLineArguments::print_help, alongside every other install-family subcommand's text), adds the missing bun pm diff entry to it, and fixes a Rust string-continuation quirk (\ at end of line strips leading whitespace of the next line) that was dropping the two-space indent in four help/redirect messages. Files touched: two in src/install/ (deletion + inline arm), three in src/runtime/cli/ (forwarding + \x20 fixes), and four test files.

Security risks

None. This is purely help-text string content and routing. No user input parsing, no filesystem/network operations, no changes to argument handling or command dispatch logic.

Level of scrutiny

Low. The change is help-text-only: static string literals printed to stdout. The consolidation follows the exact pattern already used for Patch, Outdated, Dedupe, etc. in tag_print_help, and the \x20 escape is already the established idiom in pm_version_command.rs for surviving line-continuation whitespace stripping. The two tag_print_help arms changed (Pm, Info) are provably dead code (neither tag is in USES_GLOBAL_OPTIONS, so Arguments::parse never runs for them), making those edits zero-risk.

Other factors

  • All prior review feedback is resolved: the comment-cop flag on the paragraph-long comment in PackageManager.rs was addressed by deleting the struct entirely (56ebf64), and the CodeRabbit suggestion to use snapshot matchers was applied in 933c9b2.
  • Test coverage is thorough: byte-identical stdout across all three pm entry points, exact inline snapshots for the indent-sensitive why usage and bun create react/next messages, and the bun pm diff help entry. The PR description confirms each test fails on main and passes with the fix.
  • The removed setupTestWithDependencies helper in bun-pm-why.test.ts has no remaining callers; the usage-text test no longer needs a lockfile install (correct — print_usage runs before the lockfile load).
  • REVIEW.md's "delete dead code in the same PR that makes it dead" and "one implementation, in the right place" are both satisfied.

Nothing to change from the review of 933c9b2. No further pushes planned unless CI on it shows something real.
