fix(provider): stop the npm build turning new.target into import.meta - #3656
Conversation
Every ProviderError logged by the published package reads
err=undefined: openai request failed: Provider request failed with status 400
The literal "undefined" is the error's `name`. DNT rewrites `import.meta`
into its ESM ponyfill by visiting meta-property AST nodes, and `new.target`
is also a meta-property — the transform does not tell them apart. In
veryfront@0.1.1232, `esm/src/provider/runtime-loader/provider-http.js:44`:
this.name = globalThis[Symbol.for("import-meta-ponyfill-esmodule")](import.meta).name;
from a source line that reads `this.name = new.target.name`. The ponyfill
returns an ImportMeta, which has no `name`, so every provider error in the
shipped build loses the class name that says which failure bucket it is.
The same rewrite hits the four filesystem adapters, where
`new.target === SomeClass` becomes `ponyfill(import.meta) === SomeClass` —
always false, so `markNativeFileSystemAdapter` never ran in the published
package either.
`this.constructor` is not a meta-property and survives the transform. The
two differ only under `Reflect.construct` with a third argument, which this
repo does not use.
scripts/build/dnt-meta-property-safety.ts keeps it fixed: the damage is
invisible to the Deno test suite (the sources are correct, the emitted
package is not), so the guard has to live at the source level.

- Around line 497-500: Update the npm build task to run the read-only audit
implemented by dnt-meta-property-safety.ts immediately before
scripts/build/build-npm-dnt.ts. Keep the existing audit test as separate CI
validation, and ensure the audit executes as part of build:npm rather than only
through lint or tests.
In `@scripts/build/dnt-meta-property-safety.ts`:
- Around line 140-157: Update collectShippedSources so errors raised while
consuming the lazy Deno.readDir iterator are handled during for-await iteration:
ignore only Deno.errors.NotFound and rethrow all other errors. Add a focused
test that runs the source audit against an empty temporary repository root and
verifies the expected behavior.
In `@src/platform/adapters/runtime/shared/node-filesystem-adapter.ts`:
- Line 435: Replace the this.constructor equality check in the native-adapter
detection logic with an unforgeable direct-construction check, such as
new.target or captured prototype identity, and apply the same fix to the shared,
Node, Bun, and Deno checks. Add a regression covering a derived adapter that
deletes or replaces prototype.constructor, verifying it is not classified as
native.

Review follow-up on the new.target removal. `this.constructor === X` survives DNT's meta-property rewrite but is an ordinary inherited property: a subclass that deletes or overwrites its own `prototype.constructor` inherits the base's and would be registered as a directly constructed built-in adapter. Replace the four identity checks with `isDirectConstruction`, which compares prototype identity — a class's `prototype` is non-writable and non-configurable and `[[Construct]]` takes the new object's prototype from `new.target.prototype`, so a subclass instance can never answer as the base. Regressions cover the deleted and the overwritten `prototype.constructor` for all four adapters. Reading the class name off `this.constructor` (ProviderError) is unchanged; only identity tests were forgeable. Also from review: - Derive the audited roots from `deno.json` instead of a hard-coded list, so `templates/` (the `./scaffold` entry point) and every first-party `extensions/*` package — each of which gets its own DNT build — are scanned. - Run the audit in `build:npm` and `lint:ci`. It previously only ran through `test:scripts`, which no CI job invokes, while both publish jobs call `build:npm` directly. - `Deno.readDir` is lazy, so a missing scan root rejected during iteration and escaped the guard around the call. Catch the iteration, ignore only `NotFound`, and let every other failure propagate instead of silently shrinking the audited set. - Regenerate docs/api-reference for the shifted provider-http.ts line pins.
