There was a problem hiding this comment.
Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline findings, I also checked whether the swap changes behavior for files that already parsed: parse_utf8 and parse_package_json_utf8 differ only in allow_comments/allow_trailing_commas (JSON_OPTS vs PACKAGE_JSON_OPTS, src/parsers/json.rs:38 and :60), and both return the same empty object for a 0-byte file (json.rs:322 and :473), so the empty-input path is unchanged. The two bun pm diff concerns at pm_diff_command.rs:618 and :1910 were also examined and ruled out as pre-existing fallbacks that the new parser only widens, not alters.
Extended reasoning...
The change swaps seven package.json parse calls in four CLI command files from the strict JSON parser to the comments/trailing-commas-tolerant one and adds a new hermetic test file; it touches no auth, crypto or network-trust surface beyond reading local manifests. Inline findings on the rewrite-with-comments-dropped and parse-after-scripts-ran paths in pm_trusted_command.rs, plus a verified finding that is not being posted, mean a human should still look, so this is not an approval.
Additional findings (outside the current diff — GitHub can't attach inline comments there):
-
🟡
src/runtime/cli/pm_trusted_command.rs— Users who runbun pm truston a package.json that contains comments now get the file rewritten with every comment silently deleted; on the base branch the file was left untouched. The lenient parse at src/runtime/cli/pm_trusted_command.rs:560 accepts the file, then print_json at :654 emits plain JSON and :672-675 overwrites the original in place. No warning names the loss. Fix: preserve the user's file text on rewrite for this command and its siblings that reprint a parsed package.json (parse withguess_indentation, splice only thetrustedDependenciesedit into the original bytes, or at least print anote:that comments were dropped) rather than reprinting the whole tree.Why this was flagged
Trigger: a root package.json with
//or/* */comments, reached throughbun pm trust <pkg>orbun pm trust --all. On the base branchparse_utf8at src/runtime/cli/pm_trusted_command.rs:560 fails, the command printsfailed to parse package.jsonand crashes at :572, so the file on disk is not modified. After this changeparse_package_json_utf8succeeds,print_jsonat :654-662 produces comment-free JSON, andpwrite_allat :672 plusftruncateat :675 replace the file. The user's documentation comments are gone with no message. The author calls this an accepted downside citing #11536, but that issue is aboutbun add; this change newly extends the destructive rewrite to a population (commented files) that the base branch never wrote to. Sibling writers (bun pm pkg,bun pm version,updatePackageJSONAndInstall) at least passguess_indentation: true; this site passes..Default::default()at :658-661, so indentation is lost as well. Remedy: splice the edit into the original text or warn about the dropped comments.Verification: The trigger is a root package.json containing
//or/* */comments, run throughbun pm trust <pkg>orbun pm trust --all. src/runtime/cli/pm_trusted_command.rs:560 now callsparse_package_json_utf8, soprint_jsonat :654-662 produces comment-free JSON and :672-675 replace the file in place. No warning is printed. On the base branch the file was never rewritten. -
🟣
src/runtime/cli/pm_trusted_command.rs— Users whose package.json is rewritten by one of the lifecycle scripts thatbun pm trustjust ran, or that no parser accepts, still get the untrusted scripts executed and thenerror: failed to parse package.jsonwith exit 1 and no trust recorded. The parse at src/runtime/cli/pm_trusted_command.rs:560 runs after the script loop at :516-524, so a failure at :566-573 cannot undo the side effects. The lenient parser only narrows the population that reaches this path. Fix: parse and validate the root package.json before running any lifecycle script (or re-read and fail before the scripts), so a manifest that cannot be rewritten never has its scripts executed first.Why this was flagged
Trigger:
bun pm trust <pkg>where the root package.json cannot be parsed at src/runtime/cli/pm_trusted_command.rs:560 after the scripts ran. Two populations reach it: a file with a syntax error that neither parser accepts (for example,,), and a postinstall script of the trusted package that itself edits package.json into something unparseable. The script loop at :516-524 completes first; the parse error at :566 prints the log and callsGlobal::crash()at :572. The user observes the scripts' side effects (files written, network calls) with exit 1 and nothing added totrustedDependencies, and a second run repeats the scripts. This ordering is unchanged from the base branch, which is why it was dismissed, but this PR touches exactly this line and changes which inputs reach the crash, and the referenced PR #41933 is open, not merged. Remedy: parse the root manifest before the script loop so the failure happens with no side effects.Verification: Pre-existing, acknowledged in the PR description. In src/runtime/cli/pm_trusted_command.rs the script loop drains at :516-524 before the root package.json, unparseable or rewritten by a script, is parsed at :560; on
ErrGlobal::crash()fires at :566-573 before any trust is recorded, so the scripts' side effects stand. The base branch has the same ordering, so merging makes nothing worse.

LGTM — the second push makes the bun pm trust block concurrent, which resolves the one nit from the earlier pass, and the seven parser swaps are mechanical.
What was reviewed:
- Compared
parse_utf8andparse_package_json_utf8in src/parsers/json.rs: they differ only inallow_comments/allow_trailing_commas, and both return an empty object for empty input, so no call site's empty-file or error-path handling changes. - Grepped the remaining strict
parse_utf8sites in src/runtime/cli: create_command.rs:2062/2217, pm_view_command.rs:150 and upgrade_command.rs:296 parse registry responses, and pm_diff_normalize.rs:786 parses arbitrary diffed files, so none reads a project package.json. - The new tests are hermetic (local
Bun.serveregistry and TLS GitHub stub), drain pipes viaPromise.all, useusing/await using, and the bun-create cases follow the file's existingGITHUB_API_DOMAINpattern with a freshx_dirper test.
Extended reasoning...
The change swaps seven package.json reads in create_command.rs, pm_diff_command.rs, pm_trusted_command.rs and pm_view_command.rs from the strict JSON parser to the comments-and-trailing-commas variant that bun install and bun pm pack already use, plus 20 new hermetic test cases across two files. It touches no security-sensitive surface: the lenient parser is already applied to the same file by bun install, and the registry-response parsers stay strict. The Rust diff is +10/-8 one-line call-site swaps with identical return types and identical empty-input behavior, the test diff addresses the only prior nit, no CODEOWNER covers the changed paths, and the bug hunt ran dry with no findings.

Nothing blocking. The comments below are optional suggestions. There is no need to push a fix for them before merging.
Beyond the inline note, I also checked the remaining strict parse_utf8 calls under src/runtime/cli for the same class: the ones left (create_command.rs:1845 and :1993, pm_view_command.rs:152, upgrade_command.rs:297, pm_diff_command.rs:927 and the new parse_entry closure) all parse registry or GitHub responses, and pm_diff_normalize.rs:966 is the exclusion the description names, so no package.json file read is missed. I also compared parse_package_json_utf8 with parse_utf8 in src/parsers/json.rs: both return an empty object for empty input, so the switch changes only the comment and trailing-comma options.
Extended reasoning...
The diff swaps six package.json parses in bun create, bun pm trust, bun pm diff and bun info/pm view from the strict JSON parser to the package.json dialect, splits one pm diff closure so the registry entry stays strict, and adds tests; it touches no security-sensitive surface. The serial bun pm trust describe from the earlier review is now describe.concurrent. The one open inline finding is a test-placement nit, so the inline comment already signals that a human look is appropriate.

Alsobun-pm-diff,bun-pm,bun-info.bun checknote for missing dependencies gets its own change.Background
