Problem

  • The tree bun install writes is not always the tree the next bun install builds from that file. Repro with three dependencies, no lockfile from an older Bun involved: next + postcss-loader, then bun add -d vite, then a plain bun install with nothing changed prints 2 packages installed, moves node_modules/postcss from 8.4.31 to 8.5.26 (8.4.31 now under next/node_modules), and leaves bun.lock untouched, still keyed with 8.4.31 at the root. A later unrelated bun add then flips the postcss keys in the lockfile diff. With the isolated linker the same second install re-keys the postcss-loader store entry instead.
  • This is also what the 1.3 to 1.4 ledger entry is seeing (same bun.lock, 1.3.14 installs 8.4.31 at the root, 1.4 installs 8.5.26): the 1.3 lockfile records a tree built from a peer binding that 1.4 no longer reproduces on load, see Background.
  • Cause: since install: fix stale global-store links on disable and peer edge drift across bun.lock loads #32182, loading bun.lock binds a required ranged peer edge (postcss-loader -> postcss@^7 || ^8.0.1) to the highest satisfying version in the file (bun.lock.rs, resolve_peer_dep_version_based). Nothing applies that rule when the tree is written: the resolver leaves the edge on whatever satisfied it when it was resolved, an install on top of an existing lockfile keeps the binding it loaded (Package::clone copies it, get_or_put_resolved_package returns early on a bound edge) even when this install adds a higher version, and the package-lock.json / yarn.lock migrations bind to whatever the other tool had installed. The first load after such a write moves the edge.
  • The binding decides placement because the hoister (Tree.rs, process_subtree) places whatever a peer edge points at, and root devDependencies hoist before dependencies (Behavior::cmp), so a dev tool's peer edge usually decides which version of a package sits at the root of node_modules. The lockfile is not rewritten because the save check (Lockfile::eql in install_with_manager.rs) compares the loaded tree with the cleaned tree, both built from the rebound edge.

Fix

  • The hoister binds every peer edge it processes (Tree.rs, Builder::bind_peer, called at the top of the per-dependency loop in process_subtree) with the loader's own resolve_peer_dep_version_based, before the edge is filtered, placed or deduped. Every tree goes through this one place: the tree built after loading bun.lock, the one clean builds for saving and installing (every install, add, remove, update), the one the install pass filters, and the ones the package-lock.json / yarn.lock / pnpm-lock.yaml migrations build. So whatever bindings the edges arrive with, the tree built from a given set of packages is the same, and it is the tree a reload of the saved file rebuilds. Edges the loader leaves on the tree walk (optional peers, * ranges, overridden names) return None from the shared helper and are left alone, so the exemptions stay in one place; the loader itself is unchanged. (The first version of this PR ran a separate pass before hoisting from two call sites; review asked for it to live in the hoister.)
  • yarn.rs: hoisting now consults package_index, and the yarn.lock migration was the one lockfile builder that did not index packages by name: it put one version of each name under the name and the others under synthetic keys (name#id, parent/name, name@version, alias names) that nothing ever looked up, plus a usage count nothing read. It now indexes every package under its own name the way bun.lockb loading and the npm / pnpm migrations do (about 210 lines replaced by a 4-line loop). The migrated tree is otherwise unaffected, every yarn snapshot is unchanged, and a side effect is that dedupe lookups during the install that migrates now see all versions, as they do after any other load.
  • verify_data (debug builds) checks that every package is in package_index under its own name, so a builder that stops indexing fails the install suites instead of mis-binding peers.
  • Correct because the loader's rule is what every later install applies anyway; binding in the hoister just makes the install that writes the file apply it too, so the tree it writes and installs is the fixed point. It also removes the dependence of these edges on manifest arrival order, since the binding is derived from the finished package set. Cost: a package_index lookup per peer edge per tree build; non-peer edges pay one flag test.
  • Tests (each fails on main without the src/ changes, passes with them):
    • test/cli/install/hoist.test.ts: hoisted linker, the bun add sequence above with registry fixtures; the reinstall must be a no-op, the layout and bun.lock must match, and a fresh resolve of the same package.json must write the same lockfile. On main the reinstall prints 2 packages installed.
    • test/cli/install/isolated-install.test.ts: same sequence, the store entry must be re-keyed by the install that adds the version, not the next one, and the project link must point at the rebound variant. On main the reinstall prints + peer-deps-fixed@1.0.0.
    • test/cli/install/migration/migrate.test.ts: a package-lock.json where npm satisfied the peer with the lower hoisted version migrates to the same packages a fresh resolve writes. On main the migrated root key is the lower version.
    • test/cli/install/migration/yarn-lock-migration.test.ts: a yarn.lock whose foo@^1.0.0 spec resolved to the 1.0.0 it lists first while 1.5.0 is also in the graph migrates with 1.5.0 at the root (1.0.0 nested under its exact dependent). On main it keeps yarn's 1.0.0 at the root and nests 1.5.0, a tree the first reload then rebuilds differently.
    • Ran locally with the change: isolated-install, bun-install-registry, bun-lock, bun-lockb, bun-workspaces, catalogs, bun-dedupe, bun-prune, bun-audit, bun-update, bun-update-transitive, bun-add, bun-add-catalog, bun-add-filter, bun-remove, bun-patch, overrides, nested-overrides, frozen-lockfile-pruned, public-hoist-pattern, bun-pm-why, lockfile-only, lockfile-version-2, bun-update-lockfile-sync, isolated-relink, migrate-bun-lockb-v2 and every migration suite, all green with every snapshot unchanged. bun-install.test.ts and complex-workspace.test.ts fail identically here without the change (gitlab/bitbucket and other external hosts are blocked in this environment).

Background

  • bun.lock stores packages keyed by the node_modules path the hoister chose, and stores no explicit target for peer edges. On load, ordinary edges are resolved by walking up those keys; since install: fix stale global-store links on disable and peer edge drift across bun.lock loads #32182 required ranged peer edges are instead bound by version, because the key walk rebound them to whatever was hoisted above them, which re-keyed isolated store entries (whose names hash the peer bindings) on every warm install.
  • The hoister is breadth-first over the dependency graph: a package is placed as high as possible, and the first edge to reach a directory for a given name wins it; later edges to other versions nest under their dependents. A peer edge whose range is satisfied by what is already placed above it places nothing, so the peer's binding is only visible in the tree when its dependent is processed before the other dependents, which is exactly the dev tool case (postcss-loader, vite plugins, eslint plugins).
  • Upgrade impact: a lockfile written by this branch produces the same hoisted tree under 1.3 and 1.4 (1.3 finds the bound version at the path where this branch placed it). The ledger's divergence exists only for lockfiles whose recorded tree reflects a lower binding; 1.3 wrote those depending on resolve timing and install history (a fresh 1.3.14 install of the ledger's package.json here put 8.5.26 at the root, the ledger's run put 8.4.31 there), and this branch never writes one. Such a lockfile is still installed deterministically by 1.4 and its keys are corrected by the next install that saves; a plain bun install that only loads it does not rewrite it, since the save check compares trees built from the same bindings. Making that case re-save on load is possible but is left out of this change.
  • Related open work: install: resolve deferred * peers after their siblings, not on arrival order #37713 (* peers) and install: let the hoister bind optional peers when loading bun.lock #37925 (optional peers) change which edges the loader binds by version; because the hoister calls the same helper, the written tree follows whatever rule the loader ends up with.
Real-world sequences (registry, bun 1.3.14 vs main, this machine)
# next@14.2.5 + postcss-loader@^8.1.1 (dev), main build
bun install                    # root postcss 8.4.31
bun add -d vite@^5.3.3         # root 8.4.31, vite/node_modules/postcss 8.5.26, bun.lock keys agree
bun install                    # "2 packages installed": root 8.5.26, next/node_modules/postcss 8.4.31, bun.lock unchanged
bun add -d is-odd              # bun.lock diff now also moves "postcss" -> 8.5.26 and "vite/postcss" -> "next/postcss"

# same sequence with bun 1.3.14: root stays 8.4.31 throughout, no re-links, is-odd diff touches nothing else

# ledger's 836-package package.json, lockfile shaped "postcss" = 8.4.31, "vite/postcss" = 8.5.26

…ree that gets saved

Loading bun.lock binds a required ranged peer edge to the highest
satisfying version in the lockfile. The resolver, an install on top of
an existing lockfile, and the lockfile migrations left such an edge
bound to whatever satisfied it at the time, so the tree written by one
install was rebuilt differently by the next one that loaded it: in the
hoisted linker a different version landed at the root of node_modules
(bun.lock itself was not rewritten), in the isolated linker the store
entry was re-keyed.

Lockfile::resolve now applies the loader's binding rule to every peer
edge before hoisting, so fresh, incremental, migrated and reloaded
trees are built from the same bindings.

Status: ready for review at e2ba576 (rework per @dylan-conway's comment).

Reproduced on a main release build with next + postcss-loader, bun add -d vite, then a plain bun install: the reinstall prints 2 packages installed and moves the root postcss while bun.lock stays byte-identical. Also reproduced the ledger ping-pong on its 836-package project between bun 1.3.14 and main with a lockfile keyed postcss = 8.4.31 / vite/postcss = 8.5.26.

Current shape: the hoister binds each peer edge as it processes it, so every tree build agrees with bun.lock loading; the yarn.lock migration now indexes packages by name so hoisting can rely on package_index there too. The hoisted, isolated, package-lock.json and yarn.lock tests all fail on main and pass with the change. All review threads are resolved.

CI (build 97732): 176 of 179 jobs green, including every install suite on every platform. The one red job is the x64-asan lane on test/regression/issue/09041.test.ts, a heap-use-after-free in the shell stdin redirection path of a bun run child, which this change does not touch (reported separately). The remaining entries are retry-passed flakes (verdaccio failing to start in beforeEach, and the peer * arrival-order test that #37713 addresses; * peers are exempt from this binding).

…lve()

The yarn.lock migration keys all but one version of a name under
synthetic hashes in package_index, so binding against it rebound a peer
to whichever copy yarn.lock listed first, even when that copy does not
satisfy the range. Call the pass from the two callers whose index holds
every version: Cloner::flush (every install) and the package-lock.json
migration. pnpm already binds its edges with the same helper; yarn keeps
the bindings its specs resolved to.

The yarn.lock migration concern from my earlier review is addressed — the pass now lives in Cloner::flush and the npm migration only, resolve() is back to just the hoist loop, and every_package_is_indexed_by_name asserts the precondition in debug builds. No further issues found this pass.

Because this changes which version a ranged peer edge binds to before hoisting on every install path, and therefore which copy lands at the root of node_modules, a human familiar with the install/hoist subsystem should still sign off.

What was reviewed:

  • Confirmed resolve() callers (yarn.rs, pnpm.rs, bun.lock.rs) no longer reach the new pass; pnpm and the bun.lock loader already bind via resolve_peer_dep_version_based themselves.
  • Checked the debug assertion covers the yarn synthetic-hash case that broke the first cut; the new yarn test pins the foo@1.0.0-first ordering.
  • Checked the four new tests assert the fixed point (reinstall is a no-op, lockfile byte-equal, fresh resolve matches) rather than just the layout.
Extended reasoning...

Overview

Adds Lockfile::bind_peers_like_bun_lock (lockfile.rs, ~30 lines) which walks buffers.dependencies/resolutions and rebinds every peer edge via the existing TextLockfile::resolve_peer_dep_version_based, plus a debug-only every_package_is_indexed_by_name precondition check. Called from two sites: Cloner::flush right before resolve() (every install/add/remove/update) and migrate_npm_lockfile right before its resolve(). Four new tests across hoist.test.ts, isolated-install.test.ts, migrate.test.ts, and yarn-lock-migration.test.ts.

Security risks

None. No untrusted input parsing added; the pass reads already-constructed lockfile buffers and calls an existing resolution helper. No filesystem/network changes.

Level of scrutiny

High. Cloner::flush runs on every install, and the pass changes which package a peer edge points at before the hoister runs — that decides which version of a name sits at the root of node_modules and how bun.lock is keyed. The first cut of this PR had a real bug (rebinding against yarn.rs's synthetic package_index) which I flagged and the author fixed by moving the call out of resolve(); the invariants here are subtle enough that a maintainer who owns the install subsystem should confirm the approach and the upgrade-impact analysis in the PR description.

Other factors

  • My prior finding is fully addressed: resolve() is back to a bare hoist loop, the two explicit call sites both build package_index via get_or_put_id, and the debug assertion trips if a future caller violates that. The yarn regression test covers the exact ordering that broke.
  • Test coverage is strong for the shape of change: hoisted + isolated linkers, npm migration parity with a fresh resolve, and the yarn guard. The author reports the full install/migration suite passes locally with unchanged snapshots.
  • Two comment-cop bot comments remain open on the doc comment at lockfile.rs:1266-1267; robobun replied that it is a one-sentence invariant description, not a workaround justification, which reads correctly to me.
  • CI's only failure (test-http-chunk-problem.js) is unrelated and fails on main too per robobun.

peers should bind the same everywhere, not just bun.lock. this seems like a back running this function before hoist. i think it should be hoist itself

Agreed, will move it. Plan: the hoister binds each peer edge as it processes it (in process_subtree, before the edge is placed or deduped), so every tree build (loader, clean, every migration, the filter pass that installs) binds the same way and the pre-pass, its two call sites and the debug assertion go away. That requires the yarn.lock migration to index its packages by name like the other lockfile builders do, since hoisting will then consult package_index on that path too; looking at that now.

The hoister now binds each peer edge it processes the way bun.lock
loading does, so every tree build (loader, clean, every migration and
the filter pass that installs) binds the same way, replacing the pass
that clean and the package-lock.json migration had to remember to run.

The yarn.lock migration indexed only one version of each name under the
name itself and the rest under synthetic keys nothing looked up; it now
indexes every package under its name like the other lockfile builders,
which hoisting relies on. verify_data checks that invariant in debug
builds.

@dylan-conway done in a7b557a (HEAD 2febcf5, main merged in). The binding is now in the hoister: Builder::bind_peer runs on each edge at the top of the process_subtree loop, so the loader's tree, the clean tree, the install pass and all three migrations bind peers the same way; resolve is back to the plain hoist loop and the separate pass, its call sites and the assertion are gone. The one thing that needed fixing for that was yarn.rs: it only indexed one version per name under the name and the rest under synthetic keys nothing read, so it now indexes every package under its name like the other builders (net about 210 lines removed; yarn snapshots unchanged), and verify_data checks that invariant in debug builds. The yarn test was changed to the case where yarn's own spec binding and the rule disagree, so it fails on main like the other three. PR description updated to match.

Cross-reference from #38892, which touches the other half of this: the bun.lock loader now keeps a required peer edge on the <dependent>/<peer> entry when the file has one (the hoister prints that entry only when the edge's target conflicts with the version hoisted above it), and runs resolve_peer_dep_version_based only for peer edges without an entry of their own.

bind_peers_like_bun_lock as written here rescans every peer edge, so on a file that has such entries (activepieces/activepieces at HEAD has four, all for ranges nothing in the file satisfies, where the scan falls back to the highest version) it would move those edges at save time. Combined with #38892 the loaded tree and the cleaned tree then differ on those files, which --frozen-lockfile reports as a changed lockfile, and a plain install rewrites them. Whichever of the two lands second needs this pass either to skip edges whose current target is placed in the dependent's own node (the loader's rule), or to accept rewriting those files; the second test group in #38892 (loading bun.lock keeps a peer on the entry printed next to its dependent in bun-lock.test.ts) exercises the shapes.

### Problem
- `bun install --frozen-lockfile` fails with `error: lockfile had
changes, but lockfile is frozen` on a `bun.lock` whose tree has not
changed, as soon as the file contains an entry that nothing depends on
and that entry is not the last one in the file. Field case:
activepieces/activepieces at HEAD, whose committed (1.3-written)
lockfile 1.3.14 accepts; with #38853 applied, main still rejects it.
- `Lockfile::eql` (`src/install/lockfile.rs`) compares the cleaned
lockfile's tree with the tree the loaded lockfile was hoisted into at
load time. It took a `cut_off_pkg_id` and left out every placement bound
to a package id at or past it, on both sides. The callers pass the
cleaned lockfile's package count. On the cleaned side that is a no-op.
On the loaded side it does two things: it catches edges that resolving
rebound to packages appended after load (those ids are past the loaded
count; the loaded tree still places them, so leaving them out makes the
counts differ; `bun update --frozen-lockfile` moving a transitive
dependency relies on this, `bun-update-transitive.test.ts`), and, as
soon as the clean dropped an entry, it also leaves out the loaded side's
own last packages, whose ids are past the cleaned count but below the
loaded one. That second effect is the bug: a real placement disappears
from the comparison and the counts differ.
- In activepieces the dropped entry is `react-dom@18.3.1`: the file
nests it under `react-json-view` for a peer range (`^15 || ^16 || ^17`)
nothing in the file satisfies, and since #32182 the loader binds that
edge by version, falling back to the first candidate (`react-dom@19.2.5`
at the root), so the nested copy is referenced by nothing and the clean
drops it (4069 -> 4068 packages). The file's last entry,
`mdast-util-find-and-replace@1.1.1` (id 4068), is placed twice; both
placements were left out on the loaded side. The two hoists otherwise
agree placement for placement (trace in the details below).

### Fix
- The boundary on the loaded side is now the loaded lockfile's own
package count at load time, which `mark_loaded_packages` already records
for the resolver (`loaded_package_count`); the two callers in
`install_with_manager.rs` pass
`lockfile_before_clean.loaded_package_count`. A placement bound past it
was rebound to a package appended by this install, so `eql` now returns
false on it directly instead of leaving it out and relying on the
counts. The cleaned side is compared whole. The debug-build determinism
check in `save_lockfile` compares a lockfile with itself and keeps
passing its own count.
- Correct because the two things the old boundary mixed up are now
separate: a rebound edge is a changed resolution and fails, and a
package the clean dropped only matters if it was placed in the loaded
tree, in which case its placements are now counted on the loaded side
and missing on the cleaned side, which still fails. An entry that was in
no tree no longer affects the result.
- Visible consequence outside the frozen check: the same comparison
decides whether a non-frozen install re-saves, so a no-op `bun install`
on a lockfile whose only difference is an entry outside the tree no
longer rewrites the file just to drop it; it is dropped the next time
anything else causes a save. Installs with a package.json diff still
save regardless (`had_any_diffs`).
- Test: `test/cli/install/bun-lock.test.ts`, "--frozen-lockfile accepts
a bun.lock with an entry nothing depends on, wherever it is listed". A
hand-written lockfile with `no-deps` (depended on) and `a-dep` (not
depended on) in both orders; on main the order with `a-dep` first fails
with the error above, with this change both orders install `no-deps`
only and leave the file untouched. The rebound case stays covered by the
existing `bun update --frozen-lockfile` test in
`bun-update-transitive.test.ts`, which failed on the first version of
this PR (it dropped the loaded-side check entirely) and passes now.
- With this change plus #38853, the committed lockfiles of activepieces,
opencode, eliza and supermemory pass `--frozen-lockfile` with the debug
build (activepieces still logs `4069 -> 4068` and passes); hono and
remotion still pass, and a further 72 small repos with a committed
`bun.lock` behave identically on 1.3.14, main and the two changes
combined (65 pass everywhere, 7 are already out of date everywhere).
Suites run with the debug build: `bun-lock`, `bun-update-transitive`,

- Not changed here: the loader binding an out-of-range peer to a
different version than the entry the file nests next to the dependent
(the producer of the unreferenced entry above). That rewrites such 1.3
lockfiles on the next non-frozen install and changes which copy the
dependent gets; it is the same family as #38767 / #38768 / #38837 and is
tracked separately.

### Background
- `bun.lock` stores the hoisted tree as keys: `a/b` means `b` is
installed in `a`'s `node_modules`. Loading the file creates one package
per distinct entry (ids in file order), binds every dependency edge, and
hoists the result into an in-memory tree. `mark_loaded_packages` then
records the package count; anything resolving appends afterwards (a
newer version `bun update` picked, a package added to package.json) gets
a higher id, and edges may be rebound to those packages in place, while
the tree built at load time is not rebuilt.
- `clean_with_logger` builds a fresh lockfile by walking from the root
(ids in walk order), so packages no edge reaches are dropped, and hoists
it again. `--frozen-lockfile` compares that tree with the load-time tree
using `Lockfile::eql`: placements are listed as (path, package), sorted,
and compared pairwise on name, resolution, bins and scripts. The same
comparison decides after a normal install whether the lockfile is saved
again. `bun.lockb` uses a hash over the package list instead
(`packages_len_before_install` still feeds that).

<summary>Hoist trace on activepieces (temporary instrumentation, not
part of the change)</summary>

Every decision the hoister made for `mdast-util-find-and-replace`, first
while loading the file (ids 2628/4068), then during the clean (ids
1344/2474). The two runs are identical; only the comparison differed.

```
hoist dep_id=10546 pkg_id=2628 parent_pkg_id=2640 tree_node=858  -> Placement(ancestor)
hoist dep_id=10499 pkg_id=2628 parent_pkg_id=2631 tree_node=1120 -> Hoisted(dedupe)
hoist dep_id=16465 pkg_id=4068 parent_pkg_id=4043 tree_node=1222 -> Placement(own node)
hoist dep_id=16465 pkg_id=4068 parent_pkg_id=4043 tree_node=1227 -> Placement(own node)
hoist dep_id=3661  pkg_id=1344 parent_pkg_id=1347 tree_node=858  -> Placement(ancestor)
hoist dep_id=3651  pkg_id=1344 parent_pkg_id=1343 tree_node=1120 -> Hoisted(dedupe)
hoist dep_id=7043  pkg_id=2474 parent_pkg_id=2473 tree_node=1222 -> Placement(own node)
hoist dep_id=7043  pkg_id=2474 parent_pkg_id=2473 tree_node=1227 -> Placement(own node)
```

Placement diff reported by an instrumented `eql` (raw
`hoisted_dependencies` lengths were equal; only the filtered lists
differed, by exactly the two placements of loaded id 4068):

```
only in cleaned: @tryfabric/martian/remark-gfm/mdast-util-gfm/mdast-util-gfm-autolink-literal :: mdast-util-find-and-replace@1.1.1
only in cleaned: slackify-markdown/remark-gfm/mdast-util-gfm/mdast-util-gfm-autolink-literal  :: mdast-util-find-and-replace@1.1.1
```
</details>

<details>
<summary>First version of this PR</summary>

The first push removed the boundary altogether, on the reasoning that
nothing appends packages during the install step any more. That is true
of the step after the clean, but resolving before the clean still
appends and rebinds, and the loaded tree is not rebuilt, so `bun update
--frozen-lockfile` on a stale lockfile was accepted
(`bun-update-transitive.test.ts` caught it in CI). The current version
keeps that check and only moves the boundary to the loaded side's own
count.

The yarn.rs part of this PR also fixes a user-visible dedupe bug, reproduced on the released build (1.4.0) and on main, in case it is worth mentioning in the description:

bun add <pkg> in a project that still has a yarn.lock migrates it and then resolves <pkg> against the migrated lockfile in the same run. With the old index shape, a dependency of <pkg> on a package the yarn.lock already locks is not found under its name and a second copy is appended:

  • entry keyed "p-alias@npm:pkg-p@^1.0.0", pkg-p@^1.0.0: (yarn sorts the alias spec first), bun add pkg-q where pkg-q depends on pkg-p@^1.0.0: bun.lock gets an extra "pkg-q/pkg-p" copy of pkg-p@1.0.0.
  • entry keyed only by the alias spec, adding a package with a peer dependency on pkg-p: the peer is resolved to a fresh pkg-p package instead of the migrated one.
  • two locked versions of one name, adding a package that wants the version the old code had filed under a synthetic key: again a nested duplicate.

With this PR's index loop all three dedupe to the migrated package. Three bun add --lockfile-only cases against a loopback registry asserting the full packages object of the resulting bun.lock are in

// `bun add` in a project with only a yarn.lock migrates it and resolves the added package against the

// dependency on a package yarn.lock already locks must reuse the migrated package no matter which

(same yarn.rs change as here, plus the tests; they fail on main and pass with the loop). Feel free to fold them in; I am not opening a separate PR for this since the fix is already here (and in #38878).

Update to the note above: #38892 was reworked and the interaction is gone. It now removes the nothing-satisfies fallback from resolve_peer_dep_version_based (returning None so the caller keeps its record) instead of adding a loader-side rule, so Builder::bind_peer here leaves such edges where the load put them. Verified by applying this PR's src/ on top of #38892: its tests and this PR's tests both pass, and the activepieces lockfile re-saves the same way as with #38892 alone. The only textual overlap is the doc paragraph both add to the helper.
