What does this PR do?

Removes the dependency on libarchive. The two things Bun used it for, tar and the gzip container, are now written in safe Rust.

• src/tar (bun_tar, new, #[forbid(unsafe_code)])
  • Reader: a push parser. The caller hands it whatever bytes it has and gets events back (Entry, Data, EndOfEntry, EndOfArchive, NeedInput), so running out of input is an ordinary state instead of the ARCHIVE_RETRY patches. Reads v7, ustar, pax, GNU long name/link and every GNU/SUN sparse format, in the two dialects Bun had: the npm one (node-tar rules) and the general one (concatenated archives).
  • Writer: restricted pax, regular files only.
  • gzip: header, trailer, multi-member and nested streams. DEFLATE itself still comes from zlib through bun_zlib.
  • compose: what Windows does to a UTF-8 pax path (composition only, not NFC, Unicode 6.0 tables).
  • What differs by platform (charset, AppleDouble ._ files) is a runtime option, so all of it compiles and can be exercised on any host.
• src/libarchive becomes src/archive (bun_archive) and keeps only the extraction policy: path safety, symlinks, modes, sparse writes.
• Bun.Archive, bun install (buffered and streaming), bun pm pack, bun publish, bun pm diff and bun create are ported. TarballStream loses its C read callback and phase machine, and its drain-only state moved into its own struct so no reference to the whole struct is held while the HTTP thread appends.
• Deleted: the dependency, its six patches, the update workflow and process.versions.libarchive. The attribution stays in LICENSE.md, because parts of src/tar are derived from libarchive's tar reader and pax writer.

The goal was no observable change, quirks included. These are the changes I know of:

Change	Why
ACL records (SCHILY.acl.*, Solaris A headers) no longer change an entry's permissions	Bug fix. An archive made with tar --acls could lose its exec bits or extract a directory as mode 000. GNU tar and node-tar take permissions from the header
A malformed ACL record is no longer a warning	Follows from the row above. libarchive trusted an entry less after a warning: a regular entry whose name ends in / stayed a file, with its data. Now it becomes a directory, as it does after any well-formed header, and what was its data is read as headers. Only seen in generated archives
An in-memory entry of more than 2 GiB − 1 bytes is written whole, by new Bun.Archive({...}) and for the package.json that bun pm pack and bun publish print again	Bug fix. libarchive takes at most INT_MAX bytes per write call, and Bun made one call and did not look at the count. The header gave the full size, the rest of the entry was zeros, and there was no error. Measured with release binaries: for an entry of 2 GiB + 1,024 bytes, the last 1,025 bytes are zeros on main and right here. No test: it needs about 4 GiB of memory
A pax record whose <length> <key>= is longer than 512 bytes, in a pax header of more than 1 MiB, inside gzip, is always read	libarchive looked for the = only in what was left of its 64 KiB block of unpacked bytes (or in 512 bytes if that was more), and otherwise passed over the rest of the header. So the same tar gave one name compressed and another uncompressed or shifted by a byte. Needs a key of about 506 bytes or more. The same on Windows, in nested gzip and in several members: only the position in the innermost unpacked stream counts. Found by measuring libarchive's own coverage
A tarball extracted while it downloads no longer fails because of where a piece of the download ends	Bug fix. The patch that let libarchive wait for more input did not cover every read: the optional fields of a gzip header, an extension body over 1 MiB, and, outside npm's rules, more blocks of an old GNU sparse map, a sparse 1.0 map and a ._ file's contents. A piece that ended inside one of those failed the install with "Truncated tar archive". Reproduced with real bun install on main for tarball URLs and github: dependencies: six of six cases fail there and pass here, and the same tarballs install on main when they are not streamed. Only tarballs of 2 MiB and more are streamed by default, so it takes an unusual one. Every cut position of six small tarballs through real installs, 22,704 per binary: main fails at 1,064, exactly the ones a model of it in the harness predicts, and this branch at none. In that harness, 7.96 million pairs of libarchive with and without a read callback that runs dry: 61,080 fail only when it does, none fails only when it does not, and none succeeds both ways with different entries
Bun.inspect(archive) counts files past a block with a bad checksum	It now agrees with files()
Some error messages for damaged archives	Measured against libarchive on generated damaged archives: about 96% are word for word the same for plain tar. Most of the rest are cases where libarchive set no message (surfaced as ReadError) or left a stale warning in place. In Truncated input file (needed N bytes, only M available), M is now the real count; libarchive printed 0 in nearly every case
The verbose label libarchive error: is now archive error:
process.versions.libarchive is gone
Windows only: a name that cannot be composed (more than ten combining marks in a row) is written as raw bytes with hdrcharset=BINARY	new Bun.Archive({...}) used to throw ArchiveHeaderError for it. Measured with CI's Windows binaries under Wine

How did you verify your code works?

New tests through public APIs. The expected results were recorded with the last build that used libarchive (record.ts next to each fixture re-records them), so they compare Bun before with Bun after. They pass on a released 1.4.4 by design, except the ACL and Bun.inspect tests, which cover the intended changes.

• test/js/bun/archive-golden: about 1,250 archives, well formed and damaged, plain and gzipped, through Bun.Archive files() and extract(); 21 writer snapshots through bytes(); entry names and written headers for Windows and macOS, with values measured on released Bun on those systems; gzip inside gzip (24 layers and no more, headers that span blocks, the 1 MiB name limit, how far an outer layer is read, a member that ends exactly on a 64 KiB block); header checksums over signed and unsigned bytes.
• test/cli/install/tarball-golden: 191 tarballs through real bun install, extracted while they download and from memory. The server holds back the rest of each body until the extractor has started, so streaming does not depend on timing.
• bun-pack.test.ts: the decompressed bytes and gzip header of a bun pm pack tarball.
• bun-install-streaming-extract.test.ts: a piece of the download that ends in an optional field of the gzip header, or in a pax header of more than 1 MiB. Both fail on main.
• archive.test.ts: the ACL fix, the Bun.inspect count, and the Files that files() returns: read in every way a File can be, printed, sliced, written to disk, and used after the archive is collected.

The archives were picked from a structure-aware generator, keeping one only if it made the old reader report something no earlier one had.

New tests of the reader and writer themselves (test/js/bun/archive-golden/bun-tar.test.ts). Bun.Archive shows only regular files, read by the rules of the system it runs on, and writes them with one mode and the current time. So bun:internal-for-testing gets two functions, which nothing else can reach:

• readTar(bytes, options) returns everything the reader reports as text: type, mode, size, time, name and link target of every entry, where its data lies, and how the archive ends. The options are npm's rules or the general ones, the behaviour of macOS or Windows, reading from memory or like a download, the size of the pieces the input comes in, and which entries are skipped.
• writeTar(files, names, contents, options) takes names as bytes, any mode, time and announced size, the naming of POSIX or Windows, and a gzip level.

No Bun that used libarchive has them, so the expected results could not be recorded with one. Instead each was compared with libarchive itself, linked at Bun's pin and patches, when it was recorded:

• 2,482 archives in 48 modes, 119,136 logs, all equal to what libarchive reports, wording of errors aside, and but for the permissions in 240 logs of seven archives with ACLs (first row of the table above). 1,463 archives are stored. 1,019 are made by the test: gzip cut, changed byte by byte, with every combination of header fields, in several members, nested up to 26 times, and ending on and around a 64 KiB block; values at and one over each limit of the reader; every sparse format; names that Windows composes or cannot; 19 shapes that a fuzzing corpus reached and the other archives did not; 77 written for lines and branches of libarchive's own tar reader that nothing else made it run.
• The same archives with the input cut into pieces of 1, 7, 511, 512 and 513 bytes give the same logs.
• 656 sets of files, each byte for byte what libarchive writes: 319 with the names of Windows, 231 compressed at levels 0 to 9, 35 with sizes around 8 GiB.
• 18 long names for what Windows composes: all 931 pairs of the table among 70,000 pairs that do not compose, every character of the first two planes between a base and a mark, every mark of Unicode 6.0 against one mark of each combining class in both orders, each character of the blocks with marks where a class it should not have would show, and all Hangul syllables. libarchive read the same 18 names, and the writer has to record what the reader makes of each. A changed pair, block or class in the tables each failed a test when tried, also a class moved to a neighbouring one (27 to 29, 220 to 222, 230 to 232).
• A dozen short tests that state the rules in the open, with answers libarchive also gave.

Measured by replaying them through an instrumented bun_tar: the archives reach at least 96% of the lines of reader.rs and all of header.rs, and the file sets 96% of writer.rs. They run on every platform in CI, since the platform is an option. Before those names were added, the file took 1.4 s on CI's Windows machines, 5.7 s on macOS and 6.0 s under ASAN.

Coverage of our own code cannot show a quirk of libarchive that no input ever sets off, so libarchive's tar reader (archive_read_support_format_tar.c at Bun's pin and patches) was measured too, in all 48 modes and six chunk sizes. The archives in this PR made it run 84.4% of its lines and 76.9% of its branches before the 77 were added, and 91.1% and 87.7% with them. Everything used while developing (80,102 files, the generators, a read callback that runs dry, and inputs written for this) reaches 92.3% and 88.6%, and all 55 functions. Each of the 198 lines left was read: an option Bun never set or a state it never creates (17 groups), another platform (6), a failed allocation (21), or dead code (23). This is a Linux build, so code for Windows and macOS alone is not compiled and not measured. 14 groups of lines and 4 branches could be reached and never had been. 1,108 inputs now reach all of them, and 0 of 52,944 logs differ. The pax row in the table above came from a branch that line coverage had counted as covered.

While developing, with libarchive at Bun's pin and patches linked into the same process as bun_tar (not in this PR):

• Reader: over 30 million comparisons of the full event log in twelve modes (both dialects, detection on and off, macOS and Windows behaviour), each also checked for not depending on how the input is cut into pieces. That includes skipping entries, gzip members and trailers of every shape, and up to 26 nested gzip layers, compared for exact equality, down to which entries are seen before a failure.
• Writer: 33,000 comparisons, plain and at gzip levels 0 to 9, byte for byte.
• Name composition: every code point pair that can compose, plus 9 million random strings.
• A coverage-guided differential fuzzer (libFuzzer with a structure-aware mutator, every execution runs every mode): over 4 million executions, seeded with generated archives, archives made by other tar tools, libarchive's own test fixtures and npm tarballs. The harness reaches 96% of the lines of bun_tar; what is left is allocation failure and the unreachable side of checked indexing.

Old binary against new binary on Linux:

• About 11,300 archives through Bun.Archive: files() identical, extract() different only for ACL permissions. That includes what a rejected extraction leaves on disk.
• About 9,000 generated tarballs through bun install as file:, buffered and streaming: same trees, same refusals.
• test/package.json from its lockfile, 1,191 real packages served by a local registry: the two node_modules trees are identical (67,251 paths with mode, size and content hash).
• 6,300 archives from a generator of hostile paths (symlink chains, .., absolute paths, directories swapped for files), half as root and half as an unprivileged user: no difference and nothing written outside the destination.
• bun pm pack at every gzip level, and 4,000 random new Bun.Archive({...}) inputs: identical bytes.
• Five kinds of failing archive, 9,000 operations each in one process: no file descriptor left open, same memory growth.

Old binary against new binary on Windows (CI's x64 binaries under Wine): 600,000 reads and 12,000 extractions with no difference; 150,000 writes that differ only in the row above.

The existing archive, streaming-extract, tarball-integrity, symlink-traversal, pack, publish, pm-diff, cache-pack and create suites pass locally on Linux with main merged in, except bun-create.test.ts should not crash > ["create"]: in my container a bare bun create exits 0 with the build from before this PR too. CI has since run all of it on Windows, macOS, musl and ASAN.

Performance

CI's linux-x64 release binaries, main at the merge base against this branch, median of 11 runs on a memory-backed file system. small is 20,000 files in 100 MB (pax headers), big is one 200 MB file.

	main	this PR
files() small.tar	95.8 ms	91.4 ms	0.95
files() small.tar.gz	61.2 ms	52.7 ms	0.86
files() big.tar	469 ms	316 ms	0.67
files() big.tar.gz	493 ms	488 ms	0.99
extract() small.tar	188 ms	175 ms	0.93
extract() small.tar.gz	137 ms	134 ms	0.98
extract() big.tar	252 ms	243 ms	0.96
extract() big.tar.gz	277 ms	281 ms	1.02
new Bun.Archive({20,000 files}).bytes()	140 ms	120 ms	0.85
the same with compress: "gzip"	210 ms	170 ms	0.81
bun pm pack, 20,000 files	696 ms	679 ms	0.98
bun install, 1,191 packages, cold cache, local registry	1006 ms	1017 ms	1.01

Most of that time is zlib, system calls and JavaScript objects, which did not change. The readers alone, in one process at the same optimization level: walking an archive of plain headers takes 0.34 times as long as with libarchive, pax headers 0.53, a .tgz 0.61. Archives built to be expensive (millions of pax records or sparse regions, 256 MB of junk, a 1 GiB bomb under 24 gzip layers, a million empty gzip members) all take the same time as before or less. Anonymous memory is the same.

The release binary is 64 KB to 130 KB smaller, depending on the target.

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 two things in the streaming install path and ruled them out: TarballStream::begin_entry setting self.out = None cannot leak a descriptor, because the reader's Data state always goes through AfterSkip::EndOfEntry before NextEntry (so finish_output_file closes the fd first) and both error exits call close_output_file; and Decoder::read_data's zero-fill for sparse holes is clamped to the caller's size and goes through try_reserve, so a crafted sparse map cannot drive a header-sized allocation.

Extended reasoning...

The PR replaces libarchive with a new safe-Rust tar reader/writer and gzip container (about 7,300 added lines across 78 files), and rewires Bun.Archive, bun install (buffered and streaming), pack, publish, pm diff and create onto it. It parses untrusted archive bytes from the network and local files, which is a security-sensitive surface (path safety, sizes, sparse maps). A confirmed reader bug on the macOS AppleDouble path plus the size and novelty of the parser mean a human review is needed; the note above records the two adjacent concerns I verified in the code and ruled out.

Reject normalized paths that start with ...

For a general-dialect archive entry named ../outside.txt, normalization retains the leading parent component. This guard accepts the path, and the file branch opens it relative to dir_fd. An unfiltered Bun.Archive.extract() can therefore overwrite a writable file outside its destination. Reject leading parent components before any filesystem operation, as the streaming installer does.

Re the CodeRabbit "outside diff" finding on src/archive/lib.rs:773-775 (leading .. escaping the destination): it does not reproduce. I extracted archives whose single entry is named ../outside.txt, a/../../outside.txt, ./../outside.txt, a/b/../../../outside.txt, .., ../, /abs-outside.txt and ..\outside.txt, each with and without { glob }. Every file lands inside the destination (outside.txt, abs-outside.txt) or is skipped, and nothing is created outside it. Normalization drops leading parent components before that guard runs. The output is identical on main at the merge base (6292c65), and those lines are unchanged by this PR.

🔵 Trivial · Check the package directory for refused tarball cases. · install.ts:92-106

test/cli/install/tarball-golden/install.ts:92-106
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Check the package directory for refused tarball cases.

For refused cases, the helper never reads the extracted directory. It sets the tree to null from stderr alone, so the refused-case test checks only that the stderr pattern matched each ID. A refused install that leaves files behind on disk would still pass. The golden suite can therefore miss partial extraction on the refused path. Add a check that reads the package directory for refused cases, and confirm the expected state against the pre-PR build before asserting it.

Two things from build 131708 (39ba347) that are not caused by this PR:

Red: test/js/first_party/ws/ws-proxy.test.ts on Windows 2019 x64, "a message sent during a TLS renegotiation arrives after it". Nothing here touches WebSocket or TLS code. The same test failed on the same lane in builds 131705 (a CSS change) and 131695 (an AOT change). I found no fix for it on main or among the 300 most recently updated open PRs, so there is nothing to port. I cannot re-run BuildKite jobs from here. Newer commits are on the branch and their build runs the test again.

Flaky, passed on retry: test/cli/install/bun-pack.test.ts on x64-asan, "peak memory does not grow with the size of the tarball" (192 MB against a limit of 16 MiB). The test is unchanged from main, but it covers code this PR rewrites, so I measured it.

• On Linux a child's ru_maxrss starts from the resident size of the process that spawned it. /bin/true reports 316 MiB when the parent has just allocated 300 MiB.
• Under ASAN the test runner is larger than bun pm pack, so the test measures how much the runner grew between the two spawns.
• Spawned from a small parent, the packer's own peak for a 1, 32 and 128 MiB file is:

Build	1 MiB	32 MiB	128 MiB
main, release	18.3 MiB	18.8 MiB	18.8 MiB
this PR, release	18.9 MiB	19.8 MiB	19.8 MiB
this PR, debug + ASAN	283.1 MiB	283.3 MiB	283.4 MiB

I left the test as it is. Fixing how it measures belongs in its own change.

Build 131806 (6ccc1f4) is marked failed, but no test failed. 179 jobs passed. The two :darwin: any x64 - test-bun jobs expired after more than an hour in the queue without ever being given a machine, and BuildKite has queued them again.

This is not specific to this PR. The same two jobs expired in 131820 and are still waiting in 131830, both on unrelated branches, so the macOS x64 test machines appear to be unavailable. There is nothing to fix on the branch, and I cannot start or re-run BuildKite jobs from here.

macOS aarch64, Windows x64 and aarch64, ASAN and all Linux lanes passed on this commit.

The macOS x64 test jobs of build 131806 (6ccc1f4) got machines in the end. One passed. The other has one failing test, which is not caused by this PR.

test/js/bun/module-graph/module-graph-isolation.test.ts, "a node:net or node:http dial, a fetch(), a WebSocket … does not go out": arrivedFromTheGraph was -1 where 0 is expected.

• This PR changes neither the test nor any ModuleGraph or socket code.
• The fixture dials-after-it-was-disposed.mjs prints arrived - 1, where the 1 stands for the host's own Bun.connect. It awaits the client side of that connection, then waits ten setImmediate turns.
• -1 means the listener's open had not run yet after those ten turns, so even the host's own connection was not counted. The test waits for a number of turns, not for the condition.

I found no fix for it on main or among the 300 most recently updated open PRs. A possible one is to have the listener's open resolve a promise, and to await that promise before the ten turns. I have left it out of this PR, and I cannot re-run BuildKite jobs from here.

Every test file for code this PR touches passed on macOS x64:

Test file	Passed	Time
bun-tar.test.ts	94 of 94	1.9 s
archive.test.ts	136, 0 failed	0.9 s
archive-golden.test.ts	51 of 51	0.3 s

bun-pack.test.ts	362, 0 failed	2.1 s

This PR also fixes a silent data loss on main. The table of known changes does not list it, and no test here writes an entry this large.

• On main, an in-memory entry above INT_MAX bytes loses its tail. build_tarball_from_object (src/runtime/api/Archive.rs:339) calls archive_write_data once. libarchive takes at most INT_MAX bytes per call, and archive_write_finish_entry fills the rest of the entry with zeros. The header states the full size. There is no error.
• bun pm pack and bun publish make the same single call for the package.json that they print again. That needs a package.json that prints as more than 2 GiB.
• Writer::data in this PR has no cap per call, so the entry is written whole.

const size = 2 ** 31 + 1024;
const data = new Uint8Array(size).fill(1, size - 2048);
const tar = await new Bun.Archive({ "big.bin": data }).blob();
const tail = await tar.slice(512 + size - 2048, 512 + size).bytes();
console.log(tail.indexOf(0)); // main (6292c6539d): 1023. This PR (6ccc1f44c0): -1.

A possible row for the table:

Change	Why
An in-memory entry above INT_MAX bytes is written whole, by Bun.Archive and for the package.json that bun pm pack and bun publish print again	Bug fix. libarchive took at most INT_MAX bytes per write call, and main made one call and did not read its count. The rest of the entry came back as zeros, with no error

A test for describe("large archives") in test/js/bun/archive.test.ts

It needs import { totalmem } from "node:os";. On main it fails with firstWrongByteOfTail: 1023. On a release build of this PR at 6ccc1f4 it passes in 2 to 6 seconds, and the child peaks at 4.1 GiB. The gate and the ceiling come from those numbers. I did not run an ASAN build of this PR, Windows or macOS.

    // The libarchive writer took at most INT_MAX bytes of an entry in its one write call, and the rest came back
    // as zeros. The child writes to the last 2048 bytes of its source only and reads the tar through blob(), which
    // does not copy. It still peaks at about 4 GiB, so this one test skips on a small machine and carries its own
    // ceiling.
    test.skipIf(Math.min(totalmem(), process.constrainedMemory() || Infinity) < 10 * 1024 ** 3)(
      "writes every byte of an entry larger than 2 GiB",
      async () => {
        await using proc = Bun.spawn({
          cmd: [
            bunExe(),
            "-e",
            `const size = 2 ** 31 + 1024;
            const data = new Uint8Array(size);
            const tail = Uint8Array.from({ length: 2048 }, (_, i) => 1 + (i % 255));
            data.set(tail, size - tail.length);
            const tar = await new Bun.Archive({ "big.bin": data }).blob();
            const header = await tar.slice(0, 512).bytes();
            const written = await tar.slice(512 + size - tail.length, 512 + size).bytes();
            console.log(JSON.stringify({
              tarSize: tar.size,
              entrySize: parseInt(new TextDecoder().decode(header.subarray(124, 135)), 8),
              firstWrongByteOfTail: tail.findIndex((byte, i) => written[i] !== byte),
            }));`,
          ],
          env: bunEnv,
          stdout: "pipe",
          stderr: "pipe",
        });
        const [stdout, stderr, exitCode] = await Promise.all([proc.stdout.text(), proc.stderr.text(), proc.exited]);
        expect({ stdout: JSON.parse(stdout || "null"), stderr, exitCode, signalCode: proc.signalCode }).toEqual({
          stdout: { tarSize: 2147491840, entrySize: 2 ** 31 + 1024, firstWrongByteOfTail: -1 },
          stderr: "",
          exitCode: 0,
          signalCode: null,
        });
      },
      30_000,
    );

I did not open a PR with a fix for main. It would conflict with this PR in src/libarchive/lib.rs. The fix is parked on the branch robobun/04d72814/archive-entry-over-2gib, in case it is needed before this PR lands. If it is easier, I can open the test as a follow-up after this PR merges.

[dylan-conway]

Confirmed with release binaries: for an entry of 2 GiB + 1,024 bytes the tail turns to zeros at index 1023 on main, and it is written whole on this branch. Thanks. The row is in the table of changes now.

I have not added the test. It peaks at about 4 GiB and took 23 s on the machine I tried it on. CI runs test files in parallel, and it has not been tried under ASAN, on Windows or on macOS. Writer::data has no limit per call, so there is no branch here for such a test to guard. A follow-up after this merges is fine if a maintainer wants one.
