Problem

Fix

  • Outside a class, a pattern byte >= 0x80 is one literal byte.
  • A literal can now end inside a path character, where the loop misses matches. It returns Outcome::CutOff and the walk decides.
  • is_glob (scan.rs) had the same step after a \.
  • Verified: bun run rust:test -p bun_glob (new) and new rows in six files under test/. Self-reviewed: 26 concerns raised, 26 addressed.

Background

Downsides

  • Only the brace cases are a regression. The rule is new: .npmignore y<e9>*.js now drops y退.js, which npm packs, and bash names more files when * comes before a continuation byte.
  • Valid patterns: 0 of 12,000,000 answers differ. Instructions per Glob.match: x64, 7 of 96 cells above main by at most 1.3 (spread 3). Linux aarch64, ASCII patterns: 4 to 11 more, 7 of them alignment nops.
Notes

<e9> is the single byte 0xE9. bash is 5.2.37, npm is 11.16.0, git is 2.47. The numbers are from Linux x64, main 2b0ace8 against this diff on that base, unless a line says otherwise.

One decision for a maintainer: outside a class, a pattern byte that is not UTF-8 is one literal byte. It is not U+FFFD and it is not an error. #45043 says "Bun Shell is unaffected" and that fuzzed shell runs "give the same result as before". The brace rows break that, and they are the regression. The other rows were never right, and they follow from the rule. A fix of the group parse alone restores 1.4.3, but the loop and the walk then read one pattern by two rules, and an answer changes with the number of calls.

Who can send such a byte: a shell word built from $VAR or $(cmd), and a pattern from a file in another encoding (.npmignore, .gitignore, files, workspaces and sideEffects in package.json, a command line argument of bun lint and bun fmt). Script text and Bun.Glob cannot: a JavaScript string has no such byte.

Regression since 1.4.4 (right on 1.4.3, wrong on 1.4.4 and main, right with this PR)

  1. Shell. The folder holds x1.bak z.bak keep.bak xa. The table shows which of those files the word names.
word bash, 1.4.3, this PR 1.4.4, main
{x,$(printf 'y\351')}{a,*.bak} x1.bak xa x1.bak xa keep.bak z.bak
{x,$(printf 'y\303')}{a,*.bak} x1.bak xa none, exit 1
{x,$(printf 'y\360')}{a,*.bak} x1.bak xa x1.bak xa keep.bak z.bak
{x,$(printf '\351y')}{a,*.bak} x1.bak xa none, exit 1
{$(printf 'y\351'),x}{a,*.bak} x1.bak xa none, exit 1
{x,$(printf 'y\351')}{*.bak,a} x1.bak xa none, exit 1
{x,y}{a,*.bak} x1.bak xa x1.bak xa
{x,$(printf 'y\303\251')}{a,*.bak} x1.bak xa x1.bak xa
{x,$(printf 'y\200')}{a,*.bak} x1.bak xa x1.bak xa
{x,$(printf 'y\351')}{a,b} xa xa

The folder of the test also holds y退.bak (U+9000 is the bytes e9 80 80). Rows 1, 5, 6 and 7 name it too, in bash and with this PR.

  1. bun pm pack with a.js index.js x1.js xa. npm, 1.4.3 and this PR pack a.js index.js package.json for each line. Main packs package.json xa for {x,y<e9>}{a,*.js} and for {x,\<e9>}{a,*.js}. For {x,y<c3>}{a,*.js} main packs all four files: the line stops excluding.
  2. bun install with "workspaces": ["pk/{x,y<e9>}{a,*b}"] over xa x1b zb keepb. npm, 1.4.3 and this PR link pk/x1b pk/xa. 1.4.4 and main link pk/keepb pk/x1b pk/zb. The test also has pk/y退b, which this PR links and npm does not (see below).
  3. bun build with "sideEffects": ["./{x,y<e9>}{a,*b}.js"]. 1.4.3 and this PR keep the effects of xa and x1b. 1.4.4 and main keep those of x1b, zb and keepb. The test also imports y退b.js, and this PR keeps its effect.

Never right before (wrong on 1.4.3, 1.4.4 and main)

  1. echo y<e9>*.bak beside a file y<e9>z.bak finds nothing. bash and this PR find the file.
  2. echo "$(printf 'a\303*')"*.bak beside a<c3>*q.bak and a<c3>[zz]q.bak prints a<c3>[zz]q.bak. The shell hands the quoted * on as the class [*], and the byte took the [ along. bash and this PR print a<c3>*q.bak. shell: only template-literal glob tokens act as pattern syntax #31220 says that such text only matches itself.
  3. The 13 rows in bunshell.test.ts, Outcome::CutOff, the is_glob step and the Windows filter belong here too. They follow from the rule and are not part of the regression.

The rule, in three parts

  • Outside a class a pattern byte matches one byte of the path.
  • *, ? and a class read the path one character at a time from where the match stands. So *<80> does not match U+9000 (e9 80 80) and <c3>*<a9> does not match éé. <e9>*<80> matches U+9000.
  • A class holds characters. Bytes in it that are not a character are U+FFFD (glob: validate continuation bytes when stepping over directory entry names #41985, not changed here).

Where the rule differs from other tools

  • bash and git match such a pattern byte by byte. In the shell, Bun names a subset of what bash names: <c3>*<a9> names é, bash also names éé. *<a9> names y<a9>, bash also names é. I found no word for which Bun names a file that bash does not.
  • npm reads such a byte as U+FFFD, which no valid name has. So .npmignore y<e9>*.js now leaves out y退.js, and <c3>*.js leaves out é1.js. npm, 1.4.3, 1.4.4 and main pack both. bun-pack.test.ts pins the first case with a comment. The same holds for a workspaces pattern, and bun-workspaces.test.ts pins pk/y退b with a comment.
  • For names that are not UTF-8 the rule follows git: the lines caf<e9>, <e9>*.log and y<e9>.js leave out exactly the three files with those bytes. Main leaves out one of the three. npm leaves out their twins caf<ea>, <ea>1.log and y<ea>.js too, because it reads both names as one.
  • A reader for bun pm pack that decodes the line and the names as npm does would give npm's answers. That is a separate decision for that reader, and it does not need this change. The same goes for workspaces and sideEffects: their readers take the JSON string as raw bytes. An import of the same JSON file reads U+FFFD, as node does.
  • A rule that wants a character boundary before a wildcard would keep npm's answer for y<e9>*.js, but not bash's answers. Two names in GBK: b5 e7 bb b0 2e 74 78 74 and b5 e7 ca d3 2e 74 78 74. echo $(printf '\265\347')* names both in bash and with this PR. Main names none. In the first name e7 bb b0 happens to be a valid UTF-8 character, so a boundary rule would name only the second.

The seven sites (lines on main): match_escapes_from :864, the literal arm of run :1900, Layout::read :2353, Parsed::read :3869 and :3873, Program::read :4722 and :4746. Six came with #45043. The arm of run is older. No call of wtf8_byte_sequence_length is left in matcher.rs. is_glob (scan.rs:181) had its own table for the step after a \: bun lint '\<e9>*.js' said that no file matches.

Deleted with the old rule: the from_utf8 pass in Parsed::text_of, the escape for such bytes in may_end_with, the length check in Layout::read, and the UTF-8 condition of the debug assertion in match_more. The assertion that the loop and the walk agree now runs for every regular pattern.

Why Outcome::CutOff: the loop keeps one * and takes the first place where the literal after it matches. That is right when a later place can do nothing more. After a literal that stops inside a character of the path, the next * steps from inside that character, and a later place can do more. *<c3>*<a9> on éé was no for 32 calls on one Glob and yes from then on. Now the loop stops after such a literal before a token that is not a literal, and the walk takes the pattern. The loop goes on by itself only for a pattern with one way to match (no *, or one * at the end). A valid UTF-8 pattern never gets there: the test is false after a whole character.

Windows: the kernel name filter was made from a lossy conversion, which writes U+FFFD for such a byte. No name has that byte, so the filter hid names that the matcher takes. Now there is no filter for such a component. The cost is one is_valid_utf8 pass over the component (at most 256 bytes) for each folder that gets a filter. Not run here: I have no Windows machine. The rows over UTF-8 names in bunshell.test.ts run on the Windows lanes.

Answers

  • Release binaries, Glob.match: 150,000 seeded valid patterns, 12,000,000 answers, the SHA-256 of all answers is equal for main and this PR (three seeds).
  • matcher.rs of main against this one, standalone, release: 0 of 96,000,000 pairs differ for valid UTF-8 patterns. 0 of 74,091,796 differ from an exhaustive reference model (any bytes). 0 of 8,917,488 targeted pairs (lone lead bytes, cut-off sequences, continuation bytes) are wrong on a first call or on a warmed Shape. Main has 20,910 wrong there. With negated classes among the pieces: 0 of 7,650,407, main 25,052. 0 of 6,000,000 pairs change their answer with the number of calls. Main has 22.
  • With debug assertions on: 0 failures in 4,500,000 targeted pairs, 0 of 16,000,000 valid pairs differ.
  • On ASCII paths a byte >= 0x80 of the pattern can match nothing. So the pattern must answer the same with each such byte replaced by a byte that no path has. Main breaks that for 151,311 of 39,005,440 pairs. This PR: 0.
  • The reference model has no ** and no groups like @(a|b). For those the checks are the loop against the walk, and equal answers on every call.

Cost

  • Method: user instructions of the process for N and for 2N calls, the difference divided by N. 32 rows (10 ASCII, 19 with characters that are not ASCII, 3 that do not match) in 3 modes: a new Glob for each call, 16 calls for each Glob, one Glob.
  • Glob.match on the x64 LTO release builds: 7 of 96 cells are above main, by 0.6 to 1.3 instructions. The spread between runs is up to 3. The other 89 cells are equal or lower, by up to 716. Examples for a new Glob each call: **/*.test.ts -5.7, src/**/*.{ts,tsx} -12.9, {src,lib}/**/!(*.test).ts -28.9, *.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp} -19.1, */日本語のファイル名.txt -387.9, éééééééé* -207.4.
  • The matcher alone, exact, x64: a driver that links the same crates with the same link-time optimization. Its functions have the sizes they have in the release binary (82 of 82 on main). 32 rows in 8 modes (the 3 above, no Shape, Dots::Hide and Dots::SkipTraversal, each on a new and on a warmed Shape): 3 of 256 cells are above main, each by 1 instruction (????-??-??.log).
  • The same driver for Linux aarch64 (cross-compiled with the release flags, counted under qemu): 44 of 256 cells are above main, by 4 to 11 instructions. These are the ASCII rows that the loop decides, on a new Shape. 7 of the instructions are padding nops: -Ztune-cpu=ampere1 aligns a loop head to 64 bytes, and the head of the loop moved inside that window. 2 to 4 are register moves. On a warmed Shape 0 cells are above. The other rows are equal or lower, by up to 1,361.
  • The arm for such a byte has std::hint::cold_path(). Without it the aarch64 rows above are +10 to +16, with 13 padding nops. On x64 every row is equal or 1 to 2 lower with it.
  • One bcmp call for each literal character that is not ASCII is gone (9 calls for */日本語のファイル名.txt).
  • Allocations for each match: +0 on 93 of 93 cells (31 rows, no Shape, new Shape, warmed Shape).
  • Release binary: the matcher's symbols 90,004 to 88,665 bytes, is_glob 4,737 to 4,876 bytes, .text 140,284,943 to 140,283,919 bytes.

Tests

  • New in src/glob: 6 unit tests with 27 byte patterns (bun run rust:test -p bun_glob, 0.01 s, and in the cargo-test step). Each pattern is asked with no Shape and 40 times on one Shape for each way to treat dots, for a Windows match too. With main's matcher.rs 5 of the 6 fail. Each of these changes fails at least one: main's step after \ in Parsed::read or in Program::read, is_cut_off without its second or its third case, and the CutOff arm with the loop going on or with the old condition.
  • New rows under test/: 27 fail with main's debug build and pass with this one. brace.test.ts 6 of 10 (4 are controls), bunshell.test.ts 13, bun-pack.test.ts 5, bun-workspaces.test.ts 1, dce.test.ts 1, test/cli/lint/glob.test.ts 1.
  • bun bd test on the six files: 57, 477, 388, 341, 88 and 64 pass, 0 fail.
  • All of test/js/bun/glob/ and test/js/bun/shell/ pass on the release build of this PR (803 and 1,063 tests). Under the debug build in my container some of them time out, with and without this change: 6 in scan.test.ts that scan the whole checkout, 2 in glob/leak.test.ts, shell-hang.test.ts, shell-load.test.ts, shell/leak.test.ts.
  • cargo check -p bun_glob for Linux, macOS and Windows on x64 and aarch64: 6 of 6. cargo clippy -p bun_glob --no-deps --all-targets: clean.

Left out on purpose

  • src/lint/glob.rs:386 (from_globset_class) steps by the announced length inside a class of an oxlint pattern, so a ] right after such a byte does not end the class. The rule of this PR is about bytes outside a class.
  • The reader of ignore files in bun pm pack (see above).
  • src/glob/GlobWalker.rs:2201 computes the same width, steps one byte and clamps.
  • No rows for Glob.match: a JavaScript string cannot hold such a byte, so a row there passes on main too.
  • Bun's shell takes [zz] in script text as text (echo ab[zz]* names ab[zz]q.bak, bash names abzq.bak, shell: expand ? and [...] written in the script again #39706). A word with such a byte now does the same as its ASCII twin.

The matcher stepped over a pattern byte 0xC0..0xF7 by the length that
byte announces, and did not look at the bytes it stepped over. A brace,
a comma or a wildcard after a byte that is not UTF-8 became literal
text: `{x,y<e9>}{a,*.bak}` matched `z.bak`.

Outside a class, a pattern byte >= 0x80 is now one literal byte at all
seven sites in src/glob/matcher.rs, and `is_glob` reads what follows an
escaped byte in the same way. A literal can then end inside a character
of the path, where the loop with one `*` does not find every match. The
loop returns Outcome::CutOff there and the walk decides, unless the
pattern has only one way to match.

On Windows, compute_nt_filter makes no kernel name filter for a pattern
component that is not valid UTF-8.

bun_glob gets unit tests that take bytes: `bun run rust:test -p bun_glob`.

Status

How I reproduced it, on Linux x64 with the release binaries of 1.4.3, 1.4.4 and main (2b0ace8):

  • Shell: the ten words of the report over a folder with x1.bak z.bak keep.bak xa. On 1.4.4 and main 6 of the 10 name other files than bash 5.2.37, for example {x,$(printf 'y\351')}{a,*.bak} names keep.bak and z.bak too. With this branch 10 of 10 name what bash names.
  • bun pm pack --dry-run with the .npmignore line {x,y<e9>}{a,*.js}: 1.4.4 and main pack package.json xa. 1.4.3, npm 11.16.0 and this branch pack a.js index.js package.json.
  • bun install with "workspaces": ["pk/{x,y<e9>}{a,*b}"]: 1.4.4 and main link pk/keepb pk/x1b pk/zb. 1.4.3, npm and this branch link pk/x1b pk/xa.
  • The new rows fail with a debug build of main and pass with this branch: 27 rows under test/, and 5 of the 6 unit tests in src/glob.

CI at cc4545d:

  • The six changed test files have 0 failures on each of the eleven test lanes that ran them: Linux glibc and musl on x64 and aarch64, Linux x64 with ASAN, macOS x64 and aarch64, Windows x64 and aarch64. The cargo-test step passes the 6 unit tests of bun_glob.
  • 28 test files are red: 27 under test/aot, and test/bundler/compile-aot-size.test.ts. 27 of the 28 are red on main too. This diff touches none of them.

Walkthrough

The glob scanner and matcher now process non-UTF-8 pattern bytes individually. Wildcards retain whole-character matching. Regression tests cover bundling, package installation, lint, and shell expansion.

Changes

Non-UTF-8 glob patterns

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bytewise scanning and matching
src/glob/matcher.rs, src/glob/scan.rs, src/glob/GlobWalker.rs, src/glob/Cargo.toml, scripts/rust-test.ts
The matcher compares non-ASCII literal bytes individually and detects literals cut off before non-literal tokens. The scanner advances past escaped bytes and present continuation bytes. On Windows, invalid UTF-8 patterns bypass the kernel filename filter. Matcher tests cover malformed sequences, literal cutoffs, whole-character wildcard matching, long paths, and Windows separators. The Rust test script includes bun_glob, and the crate adds bun_sema_standalone as a development dependency.
Package and workspace glob consumers
test/bundler/esbuild/dce.test.ts, test/cli/install/bun-pack.test.ts, test/cli/install/bun-workspaces.test.ts
Tests cover non-UTF-8 patterns in package side-effects metadata, .npmignore files, and workspace manifests.
CLI and shell glob consumers
test/cli/lint/glob.test.ts, test/js/bun/shell/brace.test.ts, test/js/bun/shell/bunshell.test.ts
Tests cover escaped bytes in lint patterns and invalid or incomplete UTF-8 bytes in shell brace expansion and glob patterns.

Suggested reviewers: jarred-sumner

Minor follow-up Consume all continuation bytes of a four-byte escaped character.

281-283: Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Consume all continuation bytes of a four-byte escaped character.

For a backslash before a four-byte character, more is 1. The escape step then stops on the third byte of that character. A ! after the character is missed, so is_glob("\\\u{1f600}!") returns false. The three-byte form "\\\u{9000}!" returns true. The comment above the match defines the escaped unit as the byte after the backslash plus "as many bytes as follow of its character." Four-byte lead bytes need three continuation bytes.

Suggested fix
                 None | Some(0..0xC0) => 0,
                 Some(0xE0..0xF0) => 2,
+                Some(0xF0..=0xFF) => 3,
                 Some(_) => 1,
         assert!(is_glob("\\\u{9000}!".as_bytes()));
+        assert!(is_glob("\\\u{1f600}!".as_bytes()));

Make the 64-name folder test concurrent.

The test at test/js/bun/shell/bunshell.test.ts:1254 uses plain test(...). Its neighboring cases at lines 1223 and 1272 use test.concurrent.each(...). The lone sequential test ends the concurrent group and runs by itself, adding one serial step to the suite. It has no shared state that requires serial execution, so test.concurrent(...) is a safe, one-word change.

Nitpick Add a positive workspace for the y\xe9 brace alternative.

517-520: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Add a positive workspace for the y\xe9 brace alternative.

The manifest pk/{x,y\xe9}{a,*b} has two alternatives. The fixtures create workspaces only for the x alternative. The lockfile assertion checks only the good list. If workspace discovery dropped the y\xe9 alternative, the lockfile would stay the same and the test would still pass.

Create a pk/y退b directory with a package.json, and add pk/y退b to good. The directory name is valid UTF-8, and its first byte is \xe9, the byte the pattern requires. Run the test. The lockfile assertion shows whether discovery includes the new workspace.

Add positive bundler coverage for the y\xe9 sideEffects alternative.

The new test imports only files that match the x alternatives. Removing the y\xe9 alternative from the pattern leaves the expected output unchanged, so the test does not detect that removal.

Add an imported fixture whose name matches the y\xe9 alternative. Expect its console.log output in run.stdout. Confirm that the fixture is matched when the test runs.

Add a y-prefixed file to the brace fixture so the new rows detect a dropped y-alternative.

The describe block at test/js/bun/shell/brace.test.ts:179-210 has no fixture name that starts with y. Each row expects only x-prefixed matches. Output that drops every y\xe9, y\xc3, or y\xf0 alternative therefore passes all rows.

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 that the new Outcome::CutOff arm in match_slowly cannot re-enter run without progress — state.glob_index is already past the literal run when it stops, so the next call starts at a non-literal token and is_cut_off cannot fire at the same place — and that the is_glob change in scan.rs keeps the old per-lead-byte step as an upper bound and only shortens it when the continuation bytes are absent.

Extended reasoning...

The change rewrites how the Rust glob matcher (src/glob/matcher.rs, scan.rs, GlobWalker.rs) treats non-ASCII pattern bytes across the fast loop, the Program walk, Layout, Parsed and the is_glob scanner, adds a CutOff bail-out from the loop to the walk, and ships crate-level and integration tests; it touches no auth, crypto or injection surface but does decide which files .npmignore, workspaces and sideEffects patterns select. Two inline findings are already posted, one of them the behavioral decision the author flags for a maintainer, so a human look is already signalled and this note only records what else was ruled out.

🟡 (optional) Users with a Latin-1 .npmignore, workspaces or sideEffects pattern lose files that npm and the base branch keep. At src/glob/matcher.rs:1908 a pattern byte >= 0x80 is now compared to one path byte, so y\xe9*.js matches y退.js (bytes e9 80 80) and excludes it from the tarball, while npm reads the byte as U+FFFD and packs it. Fix: either decode an ignore/workspace line as npm does (invalid byte to U+FFFD, matching no name) at the reader, or require the run to end on a character boundary before a wildcard; cover .npmignore, files, workspaces and sideEffects alike.

Why this was flagged

A .npmignore line y<e9>*.js written in Latin-1 reaches the glob matcher through bun pm pack, and the package holds a file y退.js whose second character begins with the byte 0xE9. On the base branch the literal arm of run compared three announced bytes (e9 2a 2e) against the path, found no match, and the file was packed, as npm packs it. After this change the cc >= 128 arm at src/glob/matcher.rs:1908-1930 compares the single byte 0xE9 and the following * consumes 退 from inside the character, so the file is excluded silently. test/cli/install/bun-pack.test.ts:3838-3850 pins this new answer rather than guarding against it. The same path is taken for workspaces and sideEffects patterns, so a workspace or side-effect file is dropped the same way. The PR calls it a maintainer decision; nothing in the code or output tells the user that the tarball lost a file. The remedy is to decode such lines as npm does at the reader, or to refuse a byte-level match that ends inside a path character.

Verification: The ignore line reaches the matcher as raw bytes with no decoding. In the new literal arm at src/glob/matcher.rs:1908-1930, cc >= 128 compares path[state.path_index] == cc (one byte), then * takes the continuation bytes 80 80 and .js matches. On the base, the removed arm compared e9 2a 2e against e9 80 80, failed, so y退.js was packed, matching npm. After the change it is silently left out of the tarball.

This is the decision that the description leaves to a maintainer, so I leave this thread open. The case is the first bullet under Downsides. bun-pack.test.ts and bun-workspaces.test.ts pin it with an "Unlike npm" comment.

About the two remedies:

  • A character boundary before a wildcard. The matcher has one rule for every caller, and this rule breaks the shell, where bash is the reference. Take two names in GBK: b5 e7 bb b0 2e 74 78 74 and b5 e7 ca d3 2e 74 78 74. echo $(printf '\265\347')* names both in bash and with this PR. Main names none. A boundary rule would name only the second: in the first name, e7 bb b0 happens to be a valid UTF-8 character, and the literal ends inside it.
  • A decode at the reader. That is the right place for the answer of npm, and it needs no change in the matcher: a decoded pattern is valid UTF-8. It is a change to four readers (.npmignore lines, files, workspaces, sideEffects). npm also decodes the file names, so it cannot tell a file caf<e9> from a file caf<ea>. Whether Bun follows that is a second decision. I kept both out of this PR.

Comment thread test/cli/lint/glob.test.ts Resolved
- brace.test.ts, bun-workspaces.test.ts and dce.test.ts get a name that
  starts with `y` and U+9000 (the bytes e9 80 80). The alternative `y<e9>`
  with the `*` after it names that one, and no other alternative does.
- The two new tests that spawn a process in bunshell.test.ts and
  test/cli/lint/glob.test.ts run concurrently, like the rows beside them.
- scan.rs: one more row for `is_glob`. is-glob 4.0.3 steps over one UTF-16
  unit after a `\`, so `\` with a character of four bytes and then `!` is
  not a glob. The comment says so.

Nitpick Cover the shaped Windows matcher path in the Windows unit test.

5674-5675: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Cover the shaped Windows matcher path in the Windows unit test.

The Windows unit test calls only match_on::<true>, which takes no Shape. The repeated-shape check in the matches helper calls match_prepared only with ::<false>. Production Windows callers pass a shape to match_prepared::<{ cfg!(windows) }> (src/glob/lib.rs:38, src/glob/GlobWalker.rs:1809). A regression limited to the shaped WINDOWS = true path would pass these unit tests. Add the same repeated-shape check, with match_prepared::<true>, to a_match_for_windows_gets_the_same_answers.

Suggested test change
-        let matches = |glob: &[u8], path: &[u8]| match_on::<true>(glob, path).matches();
+        let matches = |glob: &[u8], path: &[u8]| {
+            let answer = match_on::<true>(glob, path).matches();
+            for dots in [Dots::Match, Dots::Hide, Dots::SkipTraversal] {
+                let shape = Shape::of(glob);
+                for call in 0..40 {
+                    assert_eq!(
+                        match_prepared::<true>(glob, &shape, path, dots).matches(),
+                        answer,
+                        "call {call} on a shape"

Follow-up to the review comments, in 0038082 to ffcbe10.

  • is_glob and an escaped character of four bytes: the behaviour stays. is-glob 4.0.3 steps over the \ and one UTF-16 unit, so isGlob("\\\u{1F600}!") is false and isGlob("\\\u9000!") is true. The port gives the same answers, and scan.rs has a row for the first case now.
  • The test over 64 names in bunshell.test.ts and the new test in test/cli/lint/glob.test.ts are concurrent.
  • brace.test.ts, bun-workspaces.test.ts and dce.test.ts have a name that only the alternative with the byte can match. The name starts with y and U+9000, which is the bytes e9 80 80. bash names y退.bak for the same words. npm does not link pk/y退b, and the comment in bun-workspaces.test.ts says so.
  • The unit test for a Windows match asks on a Shape too, 40 times for each way to treat dots.
  • Each new comment under src/glob is one line.

Nitpick Keep dot-leading paths out of the matches helper, or check Dots modes separately.

5676-5676: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Keep dot-leading paths out of the matches helper, or check Dots modes separately.

The helper requires match_prepared to equal match_on under Dots::Hide and Dots::SkipTraversal. That equality holds only for paths without a dot-leading segment. For * on .hidden, Dots::Hide rejects the match while match_on accepts it. A future row with such a path would fail on correct behavior. The current rows contain no dot-leading segment, so the tests pass.

Give dot-leading paths their own assertions for each Dots mode, or limit the equality loop to paths without a leading dot.

Two more notes on the review of ffcbe10:

  • The matches helper of the unit tests now refuses a path that has a segment with a dot at its start (cc4545d). Only without one do the three ways to treat dots agree. No row has such a path.
  • The workspace test has covered the alternative with the byte since 0038082: "workspaces": ["pk/{x,y<e9>}{a,*b}"] has to put pk/y退b in the lockfile, and only y<e9> with the *b after it can match that name.

Re-reviewed the five follow-up commits and found no new bugs; a maintainer look is still worthwhile because the PR's core is a semantic rule change in the glob matcher's hot loop (one that the description itself leaves as a maintainer decision), not a mechanical fix.

What was reviewed in this version:

  • Outcome::CutOff path: run advances past the literal run before stopping, so resuming from match_slowly cannot re-enter the same run; every match on Outcome lives in match_slowly and handles the new variant.
  • is_cut_off: a miss only costs a fallback to the walk (conservative direction); each lead-byte-with-too-few-continuations shape in the last 3 bytes is covered, and the run cannot contain an escape backslash because it stops at ASCII.
  • scan.rs escape step now counts only continuation bytes that are present; the new take_while/take chain is not a pattern denied by the byte-search lint.
  • The serial-test nit from the earlier pass is addressed (both tests now use test.concurrent).
Extended reasoning...

The change rewrites how src/glob/matcher.rs treats pattern bytes >= 0x80 at seven sites (match_escapes_from, the literal arm of run, Layout::read, may_end_with, Parsed::text_of/read, Program::read), adds an Outcome::CutOff fallback from the fast loop to the walk, adjusts the escape step in scan.rs::is_glob, and adds a non-UTF-8 guard to the Windows NT filter in GlobWalker.rs, plus Rust unit tests and JS tests across shell, pack, workspaces, lint and bundler. It touches no auth, crypto or injection surface; the user-visible effect is which files a glob from an ignore file, package.json or shell word selects. The bug hunt ran dry with no findings, but the matcher is complex hot-path code and the PR intentionally diverges from npm's U+FFFD reading for Latin-1 bytes (pinned in bun-pack.test.ts and bun-workspaces.test.ts), which is a policy choice a maintainer should own; my earlier inline thread on that point is still open.

Still open from earlier reviews (1):

  • Unresolved: 1 minor or pre-existing.

The body leaves the ignore reader of bun pm pack as a separate decision. I checked it, and I do not propose a change in pack_command.rs. So the rule of this PR decides what pack does with such a byte.

The body names only files that pack now leaves out. The same rule also makes pack publish a file that it left out before. I ran these rows on Linux x64 with a build of cc4545d:

input file npm 11.16.0, bun 1.4.3, 1.4.4, main this PR
.npmignore: *.js, then !y<e9>*.js y退.js left out packed
.npmignore: *.js, then !<c3>*.js é1.js left out packed
"files": ["y<e9>*.js"] y退.js left out packed
"files": ["<c3>*.js"] é1.js left out packed

For the first two rows git 2.47.3 gives the answer of this PR: it does not ignore the file. No test pins these four rows, and Downsides does not name them. A maintainer who decides in the open thread on matcher.rs decides these rows too.

Why no decode in the reader:

If a maintainer wants npm's lists for pack, one site can give them. Pattern::from_utf8 can write each invalid sequence of an ignore line as the class [U+FFFD]. The names stay bytes, because a class already reads an ill-formed piece of a name as U+FFFD (#41985). I rewrote the ignore files of five rows that way: the two .npmignore rows above, y<e9>*.js, <c3>*.js, and the three lines over the six raw names. Main and this PR then pack npm's list in each row.

Repro for rows 1 and 3
mkdir n2 && cd n2
printf '{"name":"p","version":"1.0.0"}' > package.json
