A clone or checkout that failed while the dependencies were resolved stayed in task_queue. When a locked dependency needed the same repository or commit, the install phase joined the finished task: the isolated linker waited forever, the hoisted linker skipped the package. The failed task is removed from task_queue and network_dedupe_map. The next dependency that needs it runs git again and reports its own failure.
WalkthroughGit clone, commit, and checkout failures now clear failed task state when callbacks do not handle them. Commit callback handling also removes queued waiters. Install tests cover retries for optional and peer dependencies across linker modes. ChangesGit task retry handling

src/install/PackageManager/runTasks.rs— A dependency that needs a commit lookup which already failed silently gets nogit logand no error of its own; the install ends with only the first package named. The GitCommit failure arm at runTasks.rs:1530 removes task_queue but leaves network_dedupe_map, the exact stale-entry shape this PR fixes for clone and checkout. Fix: apply forget_failed_git_task on the GitCommit failure arm too so every git task failure clears both maps.Extended reasoning...
The PR description says the commit arm already removes its entry; it removes only task_queue. The PR's own argument for why a failed mark is insufficient applies here: a later dependency pushes its ctx into task_queue at PackageManagerEnqueue.rs:1411-1418 before has_created_network_task at 1425 reads network_dedupe_map, finds the stale entry, and returns Ok with no task. Trigger: dep A on url#branch, clone succeeds,
git logfails (runTasks.rs:1534 logsno commit matching). Any later edge on the same url#branch, e.g. a peer dependency re-entered in the install_peer pass (1420 skipped it the first time) or a transitive edge discovered later, joins and never resolves. Outcome differs from the fixed arms only in error attribution today, but it is the same bookkeeping defect and the next reader of network_dedupe_map for commit ids inherits it. The finder let it go as pre-existing; REVIEW.md asks that sibling arms sharing the pattern be fixed together.Verification: pre-existing (nit-sized; same-class sibling arm the PR explicitly excluded on a wrong premise). Triggering condition: a dependency needing the same
url#committishis enqueued after that commit lookup already failed — realistically a peer dependency (deferred until afterwait_for_everything_except_peers) or a transitive dependency whose parent manifest arrives later, pointing at a ref that no…
The commit-lookup arm removed its task_queue entry but kept the network_dedupe_map entry. A dependency that needed the same committish later, for example a peer dependency in the peer pass, joined the finished lookup, ran no git log, and got no error of its own.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Re-reviewed after the two new commits (the commit-lookup arm and the comment change) and found no bugs in them; since this changes install-loop bookkeeping across three task arms and two callback variants, and CI is the only place the new tests have run, a human look is still worthwhile.
What was reviewed in the new commits:
GitCommitfail arm: thehas_on_package_manifest_errorbranch (onlyQueueRunTasksCallbacksinsrc/jsc/AsyncModule.rssets it) keeps the oldtask_queue.removeonly, so auto-install behavior is unchanged; the CLI branch now also drops the dedupe entry, mirroring whatoffline_git_missalready does for a skipped clone.forget_failed_git_taskis called after the error is logged on each CLI path, and the clone arm now forgets regardless of--silent, which the oldelse ifdid not reach.- The new peer-dependency commit-lookup test asserts both
git logfailures and both package errors in order, so it cannot pass if the second lookup joins the stale entry.
Extended reasoning...
Overview
Since the prior review, two commits were pushed: bfd716fa extends the fix to the Task::Tag::GitCommit failure arm in src/install/PackageManager/runTasks.rs and adds a peer-dependency commit-lookup test to test/cli/install/bun-install-git-deps.test.ts; fedc4296 shortens the doc comment on forget_failed_git_task. The overall PR now removes a failed git clone, checkout, or commit-lookup task from both task_queue and network_dedupe_map on the CLI (non-callback) paths so that a later dependency re-runs git instead of joining a finished task and waiting forever (isolated linker) or being silently skipped (hoisted linker).
Security risks
None identified. The change only touches in-memory bookkeeping in the package manager's task-completion loop; no new parsing of untrusted input, no path construction, and no change to how git is invoked. The test's git wrapper script is local to the temp directory and only used on POSIX.
Level of scrutiny
Moderate. The diff is small (a 2-line helper and three call sites), but it sits in the run_tasks loop whose state is shared across the resolve and install phases and across three callback variants (VoidRunTasksCallbacks, PackageInstaller, Store.Installer, plus QueueRunTasksCallbacks for auto-install). I traced the moved task_queue.remove in the GitCommit arm: the callback branch keeps the exact prior behavior, and only the CLI branch gains the dedupe-map removal, which matches the existing offline_git_miss idiom at PackageManagerEnqueue.rs:414. The else if to else { if } restructuring in the clone arm changes behavior only in that the forget now also runs under --silent, which is the intended direction. I did not build and run the tests locally (no debug build present and the build is long); the PR itself notes the tests are deferred to CI, which is a reason for a human to check the CI result rather than approve on reading alone.
Other factors
The prior inline comment about the hoisted linker leaving a waiter's checkout-id entry after a failed clone was marked pre-existing and non-blocking, and no commit since addresses it; it is not repeated here. The new tests use test.concurrent and 30s timeouts, matching the seven pre-existing tests in the same file. The PR is stacked under another change (#43076), so the merge decision is a maintainer's call in any case.

#43168) ### Problem - `bun update my-alias` erases an optional `npm:` alias when its download fails. Example: `"my-alias": "npm:nope@^1.0.0"` and a registry that is down. bun prints `warn: ConnectionRefused downloading package manifest nope`, saves the lockfile, exits 0 and writes `"my-alias": ""`. - The plain form (`"nope": "^1.0.0"`, `bun update nope`) prints the same warning, exits 1 and writes nothing. - The four download-failure arms of `run_tasks_erased` (`runTasks.rs:545`, `:602`, `:856`, `:939`) fail an update request with `strings::eql(request.name, name)`. `name` is the registry name (`nope`). `request.name` is the package.json key (`my-alias`). ### Fix - `fail_update_requests` replaces the four copies and keeps the name comparison. It also fails a request when the download was for a dependency that `bind_update_requests` would bind it to. - That is a waiter of the task. For an npm tarball (no waiters) it is a dependency that resolved to the package. `Lockfile::workspaces_of_update_request` says which dependency lists a request names, for both functions. - Verified: `test/cli/install/bun-update-transitive.test.ts` (32 new cases, 20 fail without the fix). Also the `bun add`, `bun update`, `bunx`, catalog and workspace suites. - Self-reviewed: split on its advice. The package.json write-back changes follow in a second PR. ### Background - An update request is one positional of `bun add` or `bun update`. It names a package.json key. - A request with `failed` set makes `install_with_manager` return `InstallFailed` before it writes package.json or bun.lock. - A failed download of an optional dependency is a warning, so the install continues. - `task_queue[task_id]` lists the dependencies that wait for a download task. <details><summary>Notes</summary> Found by a read of the code. There is no user report. The name comparison dates from #4046 and #11828, which introduced the exit 1 contract for a named request. Confirmed on canary 1.4.3-canary.1+c6b7fcb5b. Reproduction (no network needed): ```sh echo '{"name":"x","optionalDependencies":{"my-alias":"npm:nope@^1.0.0"}}' > package.json BUN_CONFIG_REGISTRY=http://127.0.0.1:9/ bun update my-alias; echo "exit $?"; cat package.json ``` Every spelling that makes the package.json key differ from the registry name has the bug. The tests cover each one with four kinds of failure (manifest 404, registry that closes the connection, tarball 404, tarball host that closes the connection), one per arm: | Entry | Request | Before | After | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | `"aliased": "npm:leaf@^1.0.0"` | `bun update aliased` (also with `--latest`) | exit 0, `Saved lockfile`, entry `""` | exit 1, nothing written | | `"renamed": "*"` with `"overrides": {"renamed": "npm:leaf@^1.0.0"}` | `bun update renamed` | exit 0, `Saved lockfile` | exit 1, nothing written | | `"cataloged": "catalog:"` with a catalog entry `npm:leaf@^1.0.0` | `bun update cataloged` | exit 0, `Saved lockfile` | exit 1, nothing written | | two aliases of one package, no lockfile, tarball 404 | `bun update second` | exit 0, `second` rewritten | exit 1, nothing written | | alias whose locked version is not in the cache, tarball 404 in the install phase | `bun update aliased` | exit 0, both files written | exit 1, nothing written | | none | `bun add --optional aliased@npm:leaf@^1.0.0`, manifest 404 | exit 0, unresolved entry and bun.lock written | exit 1, nothing written | | none | `bun add aliased@npm:leaf@^1.0.0`, manifest 404 | exit 1, two errors (the 404, then `aliased@npm:leaf@^1.0.0 failed to resolve`) | exit 1, the 404 only | | `"leaf": "^1.0.0"` | `bun update leaf` | exit 1 | unchanged | | `"aliased": "npm:leaf@^1.0.0"` | `bun update leaf` | exit 1 | unchanged | - The last two rows are the reason the name comparison stays. A request by registry name does not match the waiting dependency `aliased`, and it failed correctly before. - The "two aliases" row is the reason for the match on the resolution. The tarball task belongs to `first`. `second` resolved to the same package without a task of its own. - `test/regression/issue/15276.test.ts` (`bunx bunbunbunbunbun@npm:another-bun@1.0.0`) expected the second error line of the `bun add` row above. A failed request stops the install before that line (`// prevent redundant errors` in `install_with_manager`), which is what `bunx another-bun@1.0.0` already prints. The test now expects the 404 line alone, and it gets the 404 from a local server and no longer from registry.npmjs.org. - The match is limited to the dependency lists that `bind_update_requests` uses: the cwd workspace, or the workspaces that `--filter` / `-r` select. Without the limit, an optional `"leaf": "npm:missing@^9.0.0"` in another workspace fails `bun update leaf` in pkg1, whose own `leaf` resolved. One test pins this. The alias range in that test does not admit pkg1's range on purpose: when it does, bun resolves pkg1's plain `leaf` through the alias as well (`known_npm_aliases`), and the request fails on main too. - A failed request in the install phase writes nothing with the hoisted linker. The helper clears `Do::INSTALL_PACKAGES`, and `install_hoisted_packages` returns `InstallFailed` when that flag is clear (`hoisted_install.rs:463`, `:481`, `:584`), before `package_json_write_back::flush`. The "install phase" test covers it. - I removed each clause of the helper in a local build (waiters match, resolution match, name comparison, the workspace limit). Each removal fails at least one of the new tests. - The connection failures in the tests come from a TCP listener that closes each connection. A stopped server would free its port for another concurrent test. - The git clone and checkout arms of the same function are not touched here. #43075 and #43076 change them. #43076 replaces the same four blocks with a helper that compares names only, so the PR that lands second needs a rebase. Its `forget_failed_git_task` can call this helper with `(task_id, name, None)` before it removes the `task_queue` entry. - Not changed: the name comparison also fails a request when another workspace fails to download a different version of the same registry name. main does the same. A precise rule for a request by registry name needs the update scope of the request. - Not fixed here, different code paths: - With the isolated linker, a tarball that fails in the install phase goes to `on_package_download_error_store` and never reaches the request loop. bun exits 1 but saves bun.lock and package.json. Plain names and aliases behave the same, on main too. - `bun update <name>` rewrites the entry of an optional or peer dependency that no version satisfies (`""`, or the range of another workspace under `-r`). A second PR follows. - A bare `bun update --latest` with an optional dependency whose manifest returns 404 leaves the temporary `latest` literal in package.json. </details>
