Five cold code paths were compiled once per const bool combination: bun test's coverage reporter (generate_code_coverage over text/lcov/colors, 5 distinct copies, 24 KB), Bun.spawn's spawn_maybe_sync<IS_SYNC> (2 copies, 33 KB), bun pm pack's pack<FOR_PUBLISH> (2 copies, 24 KB), console.log's typed-array printer print_typed_array (2 copies, 17 KB) and the install summary tree printer plus Lockfile::load_from_dir (2 copies each). Sizes are from the linux-x64 symbol table.

Each const generic becomes a runtime bool parameter, so one body exists per function; the shared bodies are #[inline(never)] where LTO would otherwise re-clone them into each caller. Pre-LTO the Rust rlib text drops by 44 KB. All of these run once per command, once per spawned child, or once per printed typed array, so a few extra predictable branches are not measurable; the unix blocking spawn fast path is unchanged.

Behavior is unchanged: the bool flows to the same ifs the const did (checked every use in the diff, no inversions). Coverage, spawn, spawnSync, pack, publish, install and inspect tests pass on the debug build. bun pm diff's caller of load_from_cwd (new on main) is updated to the runtime argument.

Rebases. #39770 landed the same conversion for spawn_maybe_sync (runtime is_sync) and split the typed array loop into a shared write_typed_array_elements. #40678 then rewrote the coverage reporter: the table is now built by print_coverage_table, which main still compiles twice through print_coverage_reports_::<COLORS>. Conflicts were resolved in favor of main, and the PR's conversions were re-applied on top. What this PR adds on top of main:

  • CodeCoverage.rs: text::write_format and write_format_with_values take the color flag at runtime and a dyn Write, and the literal templates go through a local pfmt! (the compile-time pretty_fmt! form, since clippy disallows pretty_fmt_rt for literals). ByteRangeMapping__findExecutedLines passes false.
  • test_command.rs: print_coverage_reports_::<COLORS> is folded into print_coverage_reports, and print_coverage_table takes colors: bool (its write_pretty! calls already accept a runtime flag). One copy each instead of two.
  • ConsoleObject.rs: print_typed_array, write_typed_array, write_typed_array_elements and WrappedWriter::print_comma take colors at runtime.
  • pack, PackError, the install tree printer and Lockfile::load_from_dir as described above.
  • spawn_maybe_sync keeps main's signature and only gains #[inline(never)].

Coverage table bytes are identical to main with colors on and off.

Tests: the existing coverage and inspect tests only ran with colors off, so the runtime color arguments had no coverage in the colors-on configuration. test/cli/test/coverage.test.ts ("text reporter colors") pins the exact escape sequences of each row kind of the table and checks the NO_COLOR table is the same text stripped. test/js/bun/util/inspect.test.js ("TypedArray prints with colors", plus one it.each case per constructor) does the same for typed array elements and commas. Passing the inverted flag through text::write_format fails the coverage test. Since this PR does not change behavior, both tests also pass on main.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR replaces boolean const-generic parameters with runtime boolean arguments across lockfile loading, lockfile tree printing, package publishing, coverage formatting, and typed-array inspection. It also adds coverage tests and updates a spawn binding annotation.

Runtime boolean migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lockfile API and call-site migration
src/install/lockfile.rs, src/install/PackageManager*, src/install_jsc/*, src/runtime/cli/*
Lockfile loading now accepts runtime fallback flags. All affected callers pass explicit boolean arguments.
Runtime ANSI configuration for lockfile tree output
src/install/lockfile/printer/tree_printer.rs, src/install/PackageManager/install_with_manager.rs
Tree printer helpers and call sites pass runtime ANSI and section-header settings.
Runtime publish-mode packing
src/runtime/cli/pack_command.rs, src/runtime/cli/publish_command.rs
Packing, lifecycle execution, errors, and publish wiring use a runtime for_publish flag.
Runtime color coverage formatting
src/sourcemap_jsc/CodeCoverage.rs, src/runtime/cli/test*, test/cli/test/coverage.test.ts
Coverage formatting uses runtime color selection. Tests verify colored output, plain output, thresholds, and exit codes.
Runtime color typed-array inspection
src/jsc/ConsoleObject.rs, test/js/bun/util/inspect.test.js
Typed-array and separator formatting pass runtime color state. Tests cover numeric arrays, BigInt arrays, empty arrays, and ANSI stripping.

Spawn binding annotation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Spawn synchronization annotation
src/runtime/api/bun/js_bun_spawn_bindings.rs
spawn_maybe_sync is marked #[inline(never)], and its comment now refers to spawnSync.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. The const-generic → runtime-bool substitutions are mechanical and I checked for polarity inversions and argument-order mismatches, but since it touches Bun.spawn/spawnSync and the install pipeline across 17 files, a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • Traced every IS_SYNC → is_sync site in spawn_maybe_sync — no inversions; scopeguard capture and the unix fast-path predicate are unchanged.
  • generate_code_coverage 8-way dispatch collapse: new call passes (text, lcov, colors) in the right order; the removed coverage::Text shim's signature matches text::write_format/write_format_with_values exactly.
  • Confirmed pfmt!, write_pretty!, and pretty_fmt_rt all accept runtime bools; impl Write → dyn Write in CodeCoverage.rs is a coercion-only change.
  • Grepped for remaining PackError< / PackReturn uses — none.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR converts five cold-path const-bool generics to runtime bool parameters to reduce monomorphized code size: spawn_maybe_sync<IS_SYNC>, pack<FOR_PUBLISH>, generate_code_coverage<TEXT,LCOV,COLORS>, print_typed_array<C>, the install tree printer, and Lockfile::load_from_dir<ATTEMPT_OTHER>. 17 files touched, all call sites updated. PackError loses its unused const generic; text::write_format* switch from impl Write to dyn Write so the remaining writer generic doesn't re-duplicate the body.

Security risks

None. No new inputs, no parsing changes, no auth/crypto/permissions surface. Pure refactor of dispatch mechanism.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. Each individual substitution is trivial (if CONST → if var), and Rust's type system catches the missed-call-site class. But spawn_maybe_sync is ~600 lines of critical process-spawning logic with 30+ IS_SYNC gates, and a single flipped polarity (e.g. if !is_sync where if IS_SYNC was intended) would silently change behavior. I walked each substitution in the diff and found none inverted. The test_command.rs 8-way match had a comment noting the tuple order differed from the generic order — the new runtime call correctly passes text, lcov, colors matching the new parameter list.

Other factors

No new tests (acceptable — behavior is unchanged and existing spawn/spawnSync/coverage/pack/publish/install/inspect suites are the coverage). PR description states those pass on debug build. The #[inline(never)] additions on spawn_maybe_sync and tree_printer::print are appropriate for cold single-call-per-command paths. Given the breadth (17 files) and that Bun.spawn is one of the most critical user-facing APIs, I'm deferring rather than auto-approving.

Adopted. Pushed f1282e7 to fix the red clippy job: the PR had switched the coverage table templates (CodeCoverage.rs, and the test_command.rs sites clippy had not reached yet because that crate failed first) to the disallowed runtime pretty_fmt_rt; they now branch on the color flag and use the compile-time pretty_fmt! form. Workspace clippy is clean locally and the coverage table output is byte-identical to the release build in both color modes. Waiting on CI.

Adopted and rebased onto main (the coverage part now sits on top of #40678, see the PR description). Ready for review: clippy fix, colored coverage and typed array tests, both review threads resolved.

CI on 913303e is green except test/js/web/url/url.test.ts on the darwin x64 lane (an IDNA table case that also fails on main, not touched by this PR). Everything else that failed passed on retry.

LGTM — mechanical const-bool-generic → runtime-bool refactor with no behavior change.

What was reviewed:

  • Traced every IS_SYNC/FOR_PUBLISH/ENABLE_ANSI_COLORS/PRINT_SECTION_HEADER/ATTEMPT_LOADING_FROM_OTHER_LOCKFILE use in the diff for polarity — no inversions.
  • Verified pfmt! and bun_core::write_pretty! accept runtime bools (both branch to literal true/false for the proc-macro), and that switching Output::pretty_fmt::<C>() → pretty_fmt! in CodeCoverage.rs preserves output while dropping the per-call Vec allocation.
  • Checked bun_io::Write is object-safe (write_int_le gated on Self: Sized) so the impl Write → dyn Write change in text::write_format* compiles for the Vec<u8> and io::Writer callers.
  • Confirmed the removed 8-way generate_code_coverage dispatch maps to the correct (text, lcov, colors) argument order, and all load_from_cwd/load_from_dir call sites (12) pass the right bool.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR converts five sets of const bool generic parameters into ordinary runtime bool arguments across 17 files, so each function body is compiled once instead of 2–8× (~44 KB rlib text savings). Affected: spawn_maybe_sync (Bun.spawn/spawnSync), generate_code_coverage/print_code_coverage and the CodeCoverage text writer, pack() and PackError, the install-summary tree printer, print_typed_array/write_typed_array in ConsoleObject, and Lockfile::load_from_dir/load_from_cwd plus every caller. A follow-up commit (f1282e7) replaced the disallowed runtime pretty_fmt_rt in CodeCoverage.rs with a local pfmt! branch macro so clippy passes.

Security risks

None. No parsing, no auth, no untrusted-input handling changes; the bool flows to the same if sites the const did.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high because spawn_maybe_sync is production-critical, but the change itself is find-and-replace: every IS_SYNC became is_sync (checked all ~30 occurrences in that function — no negation flips), FOR_PUBLISH → for_publish (all 14 sites), ENABLE_ANSI_COLORS → enable_ansi_colors throughout the tree printer and coverage writer, and the deleted 8-way const-generic match in test_command.rs collapses to one call whose argument order matches the new (text, lcov, colors) signature. The old dispatch had the confusing (colors, text, lcov) tuple → <TEXT, LCOV, COLORS> mapping noted in a trailing comment; the new call passes reporters.text, reporters.lcov, enable_ansi_colors_stderr() directly.

Other factors

Verified the supporting machinery: bun_core::write_pretty! and the file-local pfmt! macros both accept a runtime expression and branch to pretty_fmt!(.., true|false) literals, so replacing Output::pretty_fmt::<C>(…) (runtime rewriter allocating a PrettyBuf) with the compile-time form is a strict improvement that robobun confirmed byte-identical. Verified bun_io::Write is object-safe (only write_int_le is Self: Sized-gated), so &mut dyn bun_io::Write in text::write_format* works for the existing Vec<u8> and &mut io::Writer callers. Verified io::Writer has an inherent write_fmt so write_pretty!(console, …) resolves in test_command.rs. The removed second if !REPORTERS_TEXT && !REPORTERS_LCOV { unreachable!() } in print_code_coverage was dead — the sole caller generate_code_coverage already early-returns on that case. PackError losing its unused const parameter is a straight simplification; publish_command's FromWorkspaceError alias and both callers are updated. No tests are added, which is consistent with the repo's stance on pure refactors with no observable behavior change; the PR description reports coverage/spawn/spawnSync/pack/publish/install/inspect suites passing.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. The const→runtime bool conversions are mechanical and I verified no polarity inversions, but since it touches spawn_maybe_sync (Bun.spawn/spawnSync) alongside pack/publish/install/coverage, a human look would still be worthwhile.

What was reviewed:

  • Traced every IS_SYNC/FOR_PUBLISH/ENABLE_ANSI_COLORS/ATTEMPT_LOADING_FROM_OTHER_LOCKFILE site in the diff — each is a 1:1 rename with the same polarity, callers pass the same literal they did before.
  • Confirmed the 8-way generate_code_coverage dispatch collapses to the same argument order (text, lcov, colors), and the removed duplicate unreachable! was already covered by the early return.
  • Checked pfmt!/write_pretty! accept runtime bools and produce the same bytes as the old Output::pretty_fmt::<C>; the new coverage-colors and typed-array-colors tests pin the exact escape sequences.
  • PackError losing its unused const param and write_format* moving to &mut dyn Write are both safe — the publish-only variants are still only returned under if for_publish.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR converts five const-bool generic parameters to runtime bool arguments to reduce monomorphized code size (~44 KB pre-LTO): spawn_maybe_sync<IS_SYNC>, pack<FOR_PUBLISH>, generate_code_coverage<TEXT, LCOV, COLORS>, print_typed_array<C>, the install tree printer, and Lockfile::load_from_dir<ATTEMPT_OTHER>. It touches 17 source files across install, spawn, pack/publish, coverage, and console formatting, plus two new tests pinning colored output.

Security risks

None identified. No validation, auth, or trust-boundary logic changed — the same if bodies execute, gated by the same booleans, just passed at runtime instead of compile time. spawn_maybe_sync is process-spawning code but the diff is a pure rename of the flag; the unix blocking fast-path predicate is unchanged.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. The transformation is mechanical, but spawn_maybe_sync is a large, critical function where a single flipped condition would break spawn or spawnSync in subtle ways. I traced each converted use and found no inversions. The follow-up commit (f1282e7) that swapped runtime pretty_fmt_rt for compile-time pretty_fmt! via a branching macro also produces byte-identical output, and the new text reporter colors test pins the exact escape sequences for both color modes.

Other factors

  • The removed 8-way match in test_command.rs had a comment noting the tuple/generic order mismatch; the new call passes reporters.text, reporters.lcov, enable_ansi_colors_stderr() in the declared parameter order, which is correct.
  • PackError<FOR_PUBLISH> dropped its unused const param; the unreachable!() on publish-only variants in pack_command.rs still holds because those variants are only returned inside if for_publish blocks.
  • write_format* in CodeCoverage.rs moved from &mut impl Write to &mut dyn Write, which further reduces monomorphization; both call sites (Vec and the console buffer) coerce fine.
  • New tests cover the two paths where formatting machinery actually changed (coverage table, typed-array inspect); spawn/pack/install rely on existing suites.

Given the breadth across critical subsystems, I'm deferring rather than approving so a maintainer can confirm the binary-size-vs-branch tradeoff is wanted and glance at the spawn path.

LGTM — mechanical const-bool-generic → runtime-bool conversion across cold paths, no polarity inversions found.

What was reviewed:

  • All 12 load_from_cwd/load_from_dir call sites and the 3 print_installed_workspace_section call sites pass the runtime bool in the same polarity and position as the original const generic.
  • PackError de-genericized with no variant changes; pack(..., for_publish) and run_lifecycle_script callers updated; the unreachable!() arm for publish-only variants in pack_command.rs still holds.
  • pfmt! in both ConsoleObject.rs and the new one in CodeCoverage.rs branch on the runtime flag to compile-time pretty_fmt! literals; impl Write → dyn Write coerces at all call sites.
  • New tests pin exact ANSI escape bytes for both color modes of the coverage table and typed-array inspect, and cross-check that NO_COLOR output equals stripANSI(colored).
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR converts five cold-path const bool generic parameters into runtime bool arguments to reduce binary size by ~44 KB pre-LTO: the coverage text reporter (text::write_format/write_format_with_values), bun pm pack's pack() and PackError, the install summary tree printer, Lockfile::load_from_dir/load_from_cwd, and console.log's typed-array printer (print_typed_array, write_typed_array_elements, WrappedWriter::print_comma). spawn_maybe_sync only gains #[inline(never)] since #39770 already converted its generic. A dead runtime→const dispatch shim in test_command.rs and a duplicate unreachable!() are deleted. Two tests are added pinning colored output for the coverage table and typed-array inspect.

Security risks

None. No parsing of untrusted input, no auth/crypto, no permission checks. The touched code is output formatting and internal parameter plumbing; the only semantic surface is which ANSI escapes are written, which the new tests pin byte-for-byte.

Level of scrutiny

Medium — 19 files is broad, but every hunk is one of: (a) drop <const B: bool> and add b: bool at the end of the parameter list, (b) replace B with b inside the body, (c) update callers to pass the same literal/expression at runtime, (d) add #[inline(never)], or (e) delete now-dead shims. I checked every two-bool call site (print_installed_workspace_section, write_format_with_values) for parameter-order swaps since the compiler would not catch those; all match the original const-generic ordering. The impl Write → dyn Write change in CodeCoverage.rs is a safe unsizing coercion at all four call sites (Vec, console writer). Grepped for any remaining ::<true>/::<false> or PackError< — none.

Other factors

The PR description states coverage table bytes are identical to the release build in both color modes, and the new tests would fail on any inversion (the author confirms passing the inverted flag through text::write_format fails the coverage test). The removed coverage::Text shim in test_command.rs was already just dispatching a runtime bool to the const generic, so deleting it and calling text::write_format directly is a net simplification. The #[inline(never)] on tree_printer::print<W> still monomorphizes over W, but there is only one caller with one writer type so it collapses to one instantiation. No outstanding reviewer comments; robobun's clippy fix and rebase notes are informational.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it mechanically touches 19 files across several distinct subsystems (package manager lockfile loading, install tree printer, Bun.spawn, bun pm pack/publish, the coverage text reporter, and the console typed-array printer), a human look would still be worthwhile to confirm the binary-size tradeoff and that CI is green across platforms.

What was reviewed:

  • Every const-generic → runtime-bool conversion for polarity: no inversions; each if CONST maps to if param with the same value at every call site.
  • All load_from_cwd/load_from_dir callers updated with the correct bool; pack(..., for_publish) and PackError de-genericization preserve the publish-only variant handling.
  • pfmt! in both ConsoleObject.rs and the new local in CodeCoverage.rs branch on the runtime bool to the compile-time pretty_fmt! literals, so output bytes are unchanged; the impl Write → dyn Write swap is compatible with the existing Vec<u8>/writer callers.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR converts five families of const bool generic parameters into ordinary runtime bool arguments to reduce monomorphization bloat (~44 KB pre-LTO). The affected code paths are: Lockfile::load_from_dir/load_from_cwd (10 call sites across install, outdated, pack, publish, scan, why, pm-diff, patch), the install summary tree printer, ConsoleObject's typed-array printer and print_comma, pack_command::pack and its PackError enum, the coverage text reporter in CodeCoverage.rs plus the now-dead dispatch shim in test_command.rs, and an #[inline(never)] on spawn_maybe_sync. Two new tests pin the exact ANSI escape sequences of the coverage table and typed-array inspect output in both color modes.

Security risks

None. This is a pure refactor of how a boolean reaches an if; no new inputs are parsed, no auth/crypto/permission code is touched, and the dyn Write change only affects internal report-writer plumbing.

Level of scrutiny

Medium-high. Each individual change is mechanical and low-risk (I traced every converted flag through its uses and found no polarity flips or dropped branches), but the aggregate surface is large: package manager lockfile loading, bun install summary output, Bun.spawn, bun publish/pack, and the test-runner coverage table. A regression in any of these would be user-visible. The PR is also a rebase over #39770 with conflict resolution, which adds a small amount of merge risk that CI should catch but a maintainer may want to eyeball.

Other factors

The new tests are well-constructed (exact escape-sequence pinning plus a stripANSI cross-check against the NO_COLOR run), and the PR description explicitly claims byte-identical output vs the release build in both color modes. Robobun already fixed the clippy failure by replacing the disallowed runtime pretty_fmt_rt with the compile-time-branching pfmt! macro. The removed coverage::Text shim and duplicate unreachable! in test_command.rs are dead code enabled by the runtime-arg change. Given the breadth across critical CLI subsystems and that the CI build (#103312) status isn't confirmed in the timeline, I'm deferring rather than approving so a maintainer can confirm the tradeoff and green CI.

I reviewed this PR and didn't find any bugs. Because it de-genericizes signatures across 19 files spanning install/lockfile, pack/publish, the coverage reporter, and the console formatter, a human look would still be worthwhile.

Checked: every load_from_cwd/load_from_dir caller passes the new runtime bool with the same value as the old const; pfmt!/write_pretty! already branch on a runtime expr so the tree printer and typed-array paths are equivalent; the removed coverage::Text shim's callers in test_command.rs and aggregate.rs now call text::write_format* directly with the same argument order; PackError de-genericization is safe since both instantiations already shared all variants.

Extended reasoning...

Overview

This PR converts five cold-path const bool generics into runtime bool parameters to reduce monomorphization bloat (~44 KB rlib text): Lockfile::load_from_dir/load_from_cwd, the install summary tree printer, pack()/PackError, the coverage text reporter (text::write_format*), and the typed-array console formatter. spawn_maybe_sync only gains #[inline(never)]. The test_command.rs runtime→const dispatch shim is deleted since the underlying functions now take runtime bools directly. Two new tests pin the exact ANSI escape sequences of the coverage table and typed-array inspect output in both color modes.

Security risks

None. No parsing, auth, network, or filesystem-boundary changes. All modifications are signature/dispatch mechanics on existing output-formatting and lockfile-loading code paths; the same bool values flow to the same if bodies.

Level of scrutiny

Medium. Each individual conversion is mechanical and I verified no polarity inversions (all ~30 call sites pass the same literal or variable that the const generic previously received). But the change touches 19 files across install, pack/publish, coverage, console, and spawn — subsystems with different owners — and changes public signatures (Lockfile::load_from_dir, text::write_format*, pack(), PackError). The impl Write → &mut dyn Write change in CodeCoverage.rs is behavior-preserving but worth a maintainer's glance.

Other factors

  • The new tests cover only the coverage-color and typed-array-color paths; the tree printer, pack, and lockfile-load conversions rely on existing test coverage. The PR description says pack/publish/install tests pass on the debug build.
  • One open CodeRabbit nit (PackageManager::load_lockfile_from_cwd still keeps its own ATTEMPT_OTHER const generic wrapper) is trivial and out of scope — the body was correctly updated.
  • The removed duplicate unreachable!("No reporters enabled") in test_command.rs was genuinely dead (the let ... else immediately above it covers the same condition).
  • CI build #103321 is referenced but I can't verify its status from here.

alii and others added 3 commits August 28, 2026 03:49
The coverage text reporter and the typed array printer now take their
color flag as a runtime argument. The existing tests only run with
NO_COLOR, so neither path was covered with colors on. Pin the exact
escape sequences for each row kind of the coverage table (header, All
files, passing file, failing file with uncovered ranges) and for typed
array elements and commas, and check the uncolored output is the same
text with the escapes removed. Passing the inverted flag through
text::write_format fails the coverage test.
