install: re-resolve rows whose override or catalog value changed in the package.json write-back by robobun · Pull Request #43981 · oven-sh/bun

Fixes #43975

Problem

bun update <name> leaves bun.lock inconsistent when an overrides entry is $<name> and the overridden package is a different, transitive package. The lockfile's overrides section says ^1.63.0 while the row stays at @playwright/test@1.62.1. A later bun install and bun install --frozen-lockfile report no changes.
The cause is sync_lockfile (src/install/PackageManager/package_json_write_back.rs). After resolution it re-parses package.json and copies the re-derived overrides and catalogs into the lockfile, so the next differ sees no change. It never re-resolves the rows that were resolved under the old value.

Fix

The write-back now runs before Lockfile::clean_with_logger, after the first resolution wave and the edge redirects. sync_lockfile re-derives the root overrides and catalogs for any edited package.json (a $name can point at a member's literal) and reports whether it copied them.
When it did, rows_outside_synced_maps checks every row of a reached package that an override or catalog entry governs against its effective version (dedupe::effective_version, the predicate the resolver uses). A row whose package does not satisfy it resolves again (wait_for_resolution) before the one clean. The edge redirects run again for the rows it moved, so peer rows with a provider follow it. A peer row that is its target's only reason to exist (among reached packages) resolves again on its own, as under bun update <name>. The moves reach the update summary, the dry-run plan and the security scanner like the first wave's.
Only rows that violate the new value move. bun add <name>@<version> --catalog pins rows inside the catalog range on purpose, and those keep their pin. Values the resolver cannot compare (a dist-tag, a folder, a tarball) are left alone. A plain row that a known npm: alias redirects compares against the alias, as in the resolver. A rule the re-parse drops (members now disagree on a $name referent) leaves bun.lock with the parser's warning printed, as the next bun install would do.
Verified: test/cli/install/bun-update-lockfile-sync.test.ts ($ref overrides block: seven new cases fail on main, one guard). Also overrides, nested-overrides, catalogs, bun-add-catalog, bun-add, bun-add-filter, bun-update, bun-update-transitive, bun-audit, bun-workspaces*, bun-update-security-* under test/cli/install/.

Background

A $name override takes its value from the root's declared literal for name. bun update <name> resolves with the literal as it was before the update (^1.62.1), then writes the new literal (^1.63.0) into package.json. The re-derived override is a value the resolver never saw.
The differ (install_with_manager.rs) handles the same situation for a user edit: it invalidates every row of a changed override name before resolution. That loop is now enqueue_overridden_rows, sharing reenqueue_row with the write-back path.
Considered invalidating $<name> override keys inside enqueue_named_updates: that resolves under the old value and only works by chance for caret ranges. With install.exact, <name>@<range>, or bun add the rows stay stale. Considered a second clean after the write-back: it costs a second lockfile copy per update.
install: re-resolve a dependency that bun.lock binds to a package it does not accept #43375 adds a generic scan of loaded rows against their effective range. It runs before the write-back and skips rows of packages added in the same run, so it does not cover this case on its own. Once its scan also runs after the write-back, rows_outside_synced_maps can go.

Downsides

bun update, bun add and bun link in a project with a root overrides or catalogs section pay one root map copy and one pass over the rows of reached packages per command: a hash lookup per row, plus one satisfies per overridden or catalog row. One reachability bitset per command, no other allocation when no row moves. Measured on the issue's fixture with the debug log: 1 row re-resolved, 1 extra manifest fetch (@playwright/test), 8 enqueues before the wave and 3 after. The same fixture with a literal override: 8 enqueues, 0 rows re-resolved.
bun install and commands that edit no root package.json pay nothing: edit_after_resolve returns on the same early check as before, one clean_with_logger call per command as before. Instruction counts and release binary size were not measured: perf and bloaty are not installed in this container.
A row whose override value became a range nothing satisfies now fails the command with the resolver's error, where before it silently kept the stale row.

Notes

Repro from the issue, with the fix (bun update playwright after the range change):

  "overrides": {
    "@playwright/test": "^1.63.0",
  },
    "@playwright/test": ["@playwright/test@1.63.0", ...
    "playwright": ["playwright@1.63.0", ...

Debug log of the wave on that fixture (BUN_DEBUG_PackageManager=1):

[packagemanager] package.json write-back copied the root overrides and catalogs; 1 rows resolve again
[packagemanager] override: 1.58.1 - ^1.63.0
[packagemanager] enqueueDependency(5, npm, @playwright/test, ^1.63.0) = task ...
[packagemanager] enqueueDependency(17, npm, playwright, 1.63.0) = 11

Why the write-back sits after the edge redirects: the catalog write-back reads the resolution of the rows that bare bun update moved, and redirect_dependents is what points the other edges at the moved package. With the write-back before the redirects, bun update in a catalog monorepo wrote ^1.0.1 instead of ^1.1.0 (catalogs > bun update [] rewrites the singular catalog referenced as catalog:default).

Why the wave checks satisfies instead of invalidating every row of the changed name: bun add no-deps@1.0.0 --catalog keeps the catalog range ^1.0.0 and moves the rows to 1.0.0 on purpose. Re-resolving those rows moved them back to 1.1.0 (bun-add-catalog.test.ts, explicit version inside an existing range).

The extra cases cover rows the generic scan in #43375 does not walk: the overridden row of the package version the update adds in this run (normal-dep-and-dev-dep 1.0.0 to 1.0.2), an optional row (duplicate-optional), a peer row that follows the re-resolved package and a peer row without a provider (1-peer-dep-a), a root $name override whose referent only a workspace member declares, updated from that member, and the same with two members that disagree after the update (the rule is dropped with a warning).

Review findings addressed in 61b0116: the wave's rows were not scanner seeds, peer rows stayed on the old package, rows of a superseded package version were scanned before the clean dropped them, non-range override values (latest, file:) were re-resolved on every command, and a plain row that a known npm: alias redirects was flagged on every command.

The scratch re-parse in sync_lockfile no longer registers npm: aliases into known_npm_aliases: their strings would point into the scratch buffer, which the wave reads against the real one.

bind_update_requests moved from after the sync to before the edit: the editors read request.package_id, which the clean used to bind. The clean still binds again right after, so the bind count per command is unchanged.

The --latest case in the test block passes before and after the change: the before-install placeholder is latest, so the override used at resolve time is latest too. It stays as a guard.

Self-reviewed: 8 concerns raised, 6 addressed, plus 10 of 11 review-bot findings addressed. Not taken: limiting the post-wave redirect_moved_edges to governed rows, because the first wave applies the same rule and a later bun install would produce the same deduped tree. (the inline copy of effective_version, the per-key map diff and its two comparators, peer rows re-enqueued through the wrong path, the missing full-buffer and optional-row cases, the overlap with #43375). Not taken: deleting the write-back wave in favour of #43375's scan, because that scan stops at the loaded packages and skips optional rows, which is where this bug leaves the stale row.

First CI run: the only red job was test/napi/napi.test.ts on darwin x64 (runner code-signing policy, reported separately). bun-lock, webview-chrome, filesink, serve-http3 passed on retry.

CI on 61b0116 (build 120648): 180 of 181 jobs green. The red job is test/js/bun/spawn/spawn.test.ts on debian 13 x64-asan, which fails on main too (reported separately). filesink, bun-install-registry (a plain bun install hoisting case, no write-back involved), in-process-cron and dev-server-ssr-100 passed on retry.

bun-link.test.ts should link dependency without crashing fails on this debug build with or without the diff: the debug binary prints a backtrace into stdout for the expected FileNotFound.

root cause · written by the author bot

bun update <pkg> rewrote the $ref override value in package.json and the lockfile's overrides section, but it did so after the lockfile had already been cleaned and resolved, so transitive rows such as @playwright/test that were satisfied under the old override value were never re-enqueued and kept their stale resolution, which a later bun install then accepted as unchanged. The fix writes the updated root dependency and override maps back before the lockfile clean, then selects any eligible rows whose override or catalog value changed and no longer satisfies the resolved package, r…

…he package.json write-back bun update <name> resolves with the override map parsed before the update, then rewrites package.json and copies the re-derived map into bun.lock. A $name override whose value moved left its rows resolved under the old value, and no later install saw a difference. The write-back now runs before the lockfile is cleaned. It reports the override names and catalog entries whose value it replaced, and every row the new value no longer covers resolves once more before the clean.

…edupe::effective_version Drops the per-key map diff. After the write-back copies the root overrides and catalogs, every row an override or catalog governs is checked against its effective version; peer, bundled and workspace rows stay with their provider.

Walkthrough

Package-manager installation now writes resolved dependency versions to edited package manifests before lockfile cleaning. When override or catalog changes leave eligible rows unsatisfied, installation re-enqueues those rows and awaits resolution. Tests cover bun update cases across several dependency types.

Changes

Override and catalog re-resolution

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Write-back status and map synchronization `src/install/PackageManager.rs`, `src/install/PackageManager/PackageManagerEnqueue.rs`, `src/install/PackageManager/package_json_write_back.rs`	Write-back reports whether root maps were synchronized. Update requests are bound before package JSON editing, and the dependency-name replacement helper is crate-visible.
Pre-clean re-resolution `src/install/PackageManager/install_with_manager.rs`, `src/install/update_transitive.rs`, `test/cli/install/bun-update-lockfile-sync.test.ts`	Installation writes package JSON before lockfile cleaning, selects eligible rows affected by override or catalog changes, and re-enqueues them. Peer-provider detection can be restricted to reached owners. Tests cover transitive, newly added, peer, optional, workspace-member, and scoped rows, plus reinstall stability.

Beyond the inline findings, I also checked two refactor edges: enqueue_overridden_rows drops the explicit summary.overrides_changed gate the old inline loop had, but all_name_hashes is built empty when overrides_changed is false (install_with_manager.rs:334), so the name-hash pass still only runs when it did before. reenqueue_row clones the row before enqueue_dependency_with_main, so neither the write-back wave nor the differ path holds a reference into buffers.dependencies across the call that can grow it.

Extended reasoning...

The change moves the package.json write-back before the lockfile clean, adds a second resolution wave for override/catalog-governed rows, and extracts the differ's invalidation loops into shared helpers; it touches no auth, crypto or path-handling surface, but it does change what versions the security scanner and update summary see, which the inline findings cover. The two extraction sites I traced preserve the prior gating and the copy-before-enqueue pattern.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

…ange values, redirect and scan what the wave moved The write-back wave returns the rows it moved with their previous package. The edge redirects run again for them, the security scanner gets them as seeds, and peer rows follow through redirect_moved_edges.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.

Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):

🟣 src/install/PackageManager/package_json_write_back.rs — pre-existing: Users whose $name override points at a package declared only by a workspace member still get a stale bun.lock after bun update <name> run inside that member, and the next bun install --frozen-lockfile fails. The root maps are copied only when the root package.json itself was edited, via the is_root && gate on sync_maps at package_json_write_back.rs:344, so edit_after_resolve returns false and the new re-resolve wave never runs. Fix: sync the root overrides/catalogs and run rows_outside_synced_maps whenever a $name override or catalog value re-derives from any rewritten package.json, not only the root's; the differ already re-derives them from members via workspace_ref_literal.

Why this was flagged

Root package.json has "overrides": {"no-deps": "$dep-with-tags"} and does not declare dep-with-tags; packages/pkg1 declares "dep-with-tags": "^1.0.0" (with dep-with-tags@ 1.0.0 and no-deps@ 1.0.0 locked, as in the PR's own fixture). parse_override_value at src/install/lockfile/OverrideMap.rs:1098-1120 finds no root_ref and takes the literal from pkg1 through workspace_ref_literal (OverrideMap.rs:1213), so the override is ^1.0.0. The user runs bun update dep-with-tags from packages/pkg1. updatePackageJSONAndInstall.rs:505 records only the cwd target (name_hash Some(pkg1)); edit_cwd at package_json_write_back.rs:195-243 rewrites pkg1 to ^1.0.1 and, since in_root is false and no catalog changed, never pushes the root. sync_lockfile parses the root (scratch.overrides now says ^1.0.1) but sync_maps at package_json_write_back.rs:344 requires is_root, which is false for the pkg1 entry, so lf.overrides keeps ^1.0.0, synced_maps stays false, edit_after_resolve returns false and write_back_package_jsons (install_with_manager.rs:1511) returns without scanning. bun.lock is saved…

Verification: pre-existing. Trigger: a root $name override whose referent is declared only by a workspace member (supported via workspace_ref_literal, /home/claude/bun/src/install/lockfile/OverrideMap.rs:1113-1120, and pinned by nested-overrides.test.ts "$ref resolves against workspace members"), and bun update <name> run from inside that member. Mechanism verified in… | pre-existing — triggered when…

…and rebind what the write-back wave moved A $name override can take its value from a workspace member's literal, so the root overrides and catalogs are copied into bun.lock whatever file the command rewrote. The rows the wave moves are registered for the update summary and the dry-run plan, and the update requests are bound again after sync_lockfile grows the string buffer.

robobun · 2026-09-25T17:22:43Z

The member-declared $name case is covered in a0c072d: sync_lockfile re-derives the root overrides and catalogs for any edited package.json, and the new case bun update <name> in a member re-resolves a package whose root $name override value changed fails on main.

Re-resolve peer-only packages after an override changes.

If a package appears only in peerDependencies, this condition excludes its row from the write-back scan. A $name override can then change while the peer row keeps its old resolution. No non-peer move exists for redirect_moved_edges to follow. Bun installs peers by default, and overrides apply to them. Handle unsatisfied peer rows through the peer-resolution path; the new peer test covers only a peer alongside a non-peer row. (bun.com)

A peer row whose target nothing else provides is the package's only reason to exist, so it resolves through the plain path like enqueue_peer_rows does for bun update <name>, with its manifest cached first. Peer rows with a provider keep following it.

Peer-only rows: fixed in ddc27e6. A peer row whose target nothing else provides (plannable_peer_rows, the rule bun update <name> already uses) resolves again through the plain path, with its manifest cached first. New case a peer row without a provider resolves again fails on main. Peer rows with a provider keep following it through redirect_moved_edges.

provider checks include only reached packages, not orphaned lockfile rows. This

…ack wave A package the update orphaned still holds its rows until the clean. Its dependency on a peer row's old target must not make that row look provided.

Findings marked 🟡 are optional suggestions and need no follow-up push.

…n aliases like the resolver A $name override whose referent the members now declare differently is dropped by the re-parse, as the next install would do; the warning is printed and the rows it governed are checked against their own range. A plain row whose range touches a known npm: alias compares against the alias, as the resolver does, instead of being skipped.

The write-back's scratch parse registered every npm: alias with strings in the scratch buffer, which the wave then read against the real one.

…#44414) ### Problem - `bun update <dep> <peer>` exits 1 with `error: util@^1.0.0 failed to resolve` when `<peer>` is an auto-installed peer that nothing else depends on. Each name alone works. - `enqueue_peer_rows` (`src/install/update_transitive.rs:452`) calls `populate_manifest_cache` while dependencies wait for manifests. Its wait runs `run_tasks` in manifests-only mode, which skips their waiter lists (`runTasks.rs:662`, `:1070`). - The opposite mismatch aborts `bun install` over a yarn.lock with an unusable scope registry: `panic: infallible: task queued`. ### Fix - `run_tasks` takes the waiter list of a finished manifest request on every pass. A prefetch request has none. - `print_log` returns `InstallFailed` when the log it resets holds an error. `populate_manifest_cache` starts the progress bar before its wait (`panic: downloads_node active`). - Verified: `bun-update-transitive.test.ts` (18 new cases), `yarn-lock-migration.test.ts` (1). All 19 fail without the fix. Also the update, audit and migration suites. ### Background - A waiter is a dependency that waits for a manifest request. `task_queue` maps request ids to waiters. Only `run_tasks` retires requests. - `populate_manifest_cache` fetches manifests ahead of use (`bun outdated`, bare `bun update`, five more entrances). Its requests have no waiters. - Considered a reorder of the named update: it covers 1 of 7 entrances and keeps both skips and the abort. ### Downsides - A prefetch pass does one `task_queue` lookup per stored manifest: 15 more instructions, no insert, no allocation. - Queued dependencies now resolve inside the prefetch wait. Such a run can print no `Resolving dependencies` line. - After a failed download, `bun update --latest <name>` exits 1 and saves nothing. It exited 0 and saved bun.lock. <details><summary>Notes</summary> **Repro.** A loopback registry has `util@1.0.0` with `peerDependencies: { core: "^1.0.0" }` and `core@1.0.0`. The project depends on `util ^1.0.0`. `bun install`, then `bun update util core`: exit 1, `error: util@^1.0.0 failed to resolve`, nothing saved. The result is the same after `util@1.1.0` and `core@1.1.0` exist, and in either name order. The failure is in every release since 1.4.0 (#38333 added `enqueue_peer_rows`). **Why 1.4.2 passed one shape.** When `core` also depends on `util`, 1.4.2 moved both packages. The re-resolved peer made a new `core@1.1.0`, its dependency started a tarball download of a new `util`, and the extract arm of `run_tasks` ran the waiter list of the `util` manifest. #43122 removed that download. No revert is needed: the waiter was already dropped, and shapes without that download fail on 1.4.2 too. **Mechanism.** `bun update` does not read the manifest disk cache, so each queued dependency starts a manifest request and parks a `TaskCallbackContext::Dependency` in `task_queue` (`PackageManagerEnqueue.rs:1331`). `populate_manifest_cache` flushes and schedules every queued request and waits until the manager has no pending task. In that wait the old code stored the manifest and took `continue` before the `task_queue` take. `network_dedupe_map` keeps the request id, so nothing asks again. The dependency stays unresolved. **Forms that failed and now pass (each is a test).** Both name orders. A glob next to the peer and `*`. `--latest`. A transitive dependency named next to the peer. The peer named from a workspace member. The peer itself added to package.json. A dependency, an optional dependency, an override or a `file:` folder added to package.json before `bun update <peer>`. `--prefer-offline` with only the peer's manifest cached. A patched dependency named next to the peer. Two forms were silent on main. With an optional dependency added to package.json, `bun update <peer>` exits 0 and saves a bun.lock without it. `bun update <optional-dep> <peer>` exits 0, writes `"util": ""` to package.json and saves a bun.lock with no packages. **`print_log`.** It has two callers, `enqueue_peer_rows` and `plan_edges`. Both print and reset the log in the middle of an install, and `install_with_manager` reads `log.has_errors()` later to decide whether to save. With the waiters delivered inside the prefetch wait, an error of such a dependency reaches the first caller: a tarball 404 or an integrity failure for a dependency that the request does not name. The second caller has the same defect on main: `bun update --latest <name>` runs `plan_edges` after the first resolve wave, so a tarball 404 in that wave prints `error: GET ... - 404`, exits 0 and saves bun.lock and package.json, where `bun update <name>` exits 1 and saves nothing. Two tests pin both callers. Each fails without the guard. **Migration abort.** `Packages::All` returns at the first manifest request it cannot start, after it scheduled earlier ones. `fetch_necessary_package_metadata_after_yarn_or_pnpm_migration` drops that error. The install wait then completed a request with no `task_queue` entry and hit `.expect("infallible: task queued")`. Release build of the merge base: exit 134. This branch: exit 0, bun.lock written. **Progress bar.** `start_manifest_task` starts the bar only when it creates a request. When every name is cached or already requested by a queued dependency, the wait starts with no bar, and the first pass of `run_tasks` names the bar if a manifest download has completed by then. Real timing did not hit the window: 0 panics in 200 pty runs on each build. With the main thread paused for 400 ms before that first pass (gdb), a release build of main panics with `downloads_node active` in 5 of 5 runs, for the peer added to package.json and for `--prefer-offline` with only the peer's manifest cached. This branch: 0 of 25 runs. No test covers it, because it needs a pty and that pause. **Measurements (release builds of the merge base 4b02e10 and of this branch, unless noted).** - `run_tasks_erased`, pass of a normal install: parsed-manifest arm 35 -> 33 instructions from the manifest store to the `process_dependency_list_for_ctx` call, 304 arm 34 -> 33. The compare-and-branch on `manifests_only` is gone at both sites. Whole function: 6517 -> 6448 instructions. - `run_tasks_erased`: 33,102 -> 32,764 bytes. `populate_manifest_cache`: 3,724 -> 3,756 bytes. Release `.text`: 0 bytes delta (80,679,983 both). Stripped binary: 80,848,456 bytes both. These sizes are from the first push. The later `print_log` change adds one compare and one early return. - Prefetch pass with nothing queued (`bun outdated`, 30 dependencies, empty manifest cache): 30 `task_queue` lookups (0 on the merge base), 0 inserts, 0 waiter deliveries. After the manifest store the pass runs 20 instructions for each manifest, 12 of them in `HashMap::get_index`. The merge base runs 5. - Waiters (debug build, gdb): `bun update util core` 1 of 1 delivered once. With `core` depending on `util`: 2 of 2. `bun update '*'` over 40 direct dependencies and 1 peer: 40 of 40 delivered once, 41 manifest requests with no duplicate, 41 packages moved, `bun install --frozen-lockfile` passes. The take in the extract arm found 0 non-empty lists. - Requests of `bun update util core` with both packages newer: 1 `GET /util`, 1 `GET /core`, then the 2 tarballs. `bun update core nope`: 0 requests, same reject text. - stdout, stderr and requests of `bun update util` and of `bun update core`: 0 changed lines. - Event-loop waits entered (`AnyEventLoop::tick_raw`, debug builds, two runs each): `bun update util` 3 and 5 on both builds. `bun update core` 3 and 5 to 6 on the merge base, 3 and 6 on this branch. **Left for later.** - A waiter that is parked on a failed manifest request stays parked in both modes. - The prefetch pass still runs with `install_peer = true`. Only non-peer dependencies can be parked there today. - `MANIFESTS_ONLY` now only keeps the parsed-manifest arm from naming the progress bar. - #40284 rewrites the same two hunks and keeps both early exits. #43981 adds another `populate_manifest_cache` call inside an install, which this change makes safe in any call order. </details> --------- Co-authored-by: Dylan Conway <dylan.conway567@gmail.com>
