Addresses coderabbitai finding on PR #261: parseObjects() would return one result when maxResults: 0 due to the cap check happening after the first valid package was pushed.

Fix: Add early return guard — if maxResults <= 0, return [] immediately before mapping.

Test: Added regression test asserting search('q', { maxResults: 0 }) returns empty array even when response contains packages.

Related: Addresses remaining issue from #261 (comment)...

Adds NpmRegistryEngine using npm's public search API (registry.npmjs.org/-/v1/search), registered as a secondary engine in the code vertical alongside crates-io. Includes unit tests and updates the code-vertical engine-set assertions. Closes KnockOutEZ#144.
…arse, canonical URLs

- register npm-registry as high tier in ENGINE_QUALITY so the vertical/registry consistency test passes

- send descriptive wigolo/0.1 User-Agent header, matching crates-io adapter

- Array.isArray guard on objects payload; cap maxResults after mapping valid packages so nameless rows don't count

- construct npmjs URL from package name instead of trusting links.npm

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added NpmRegistryEngine to query npm’s public search API, map package metadata into search results, and integrate it as a secondary code-search engine. Added quality metadata and unit coverage for mapping, limits, malformed responses, errors, and vertical configuration.

Changes

npm registry search

Layer / File(s) Summary
npm registry engine
src/search/engines/npm-registry.ts
The engine sends bounded npm API requests, validates response payloads, skips malformed entries, maps package metadata, builds package URLs, and limits valid results.
Code-search registration
src/search/core/engine-quality.ts, src/search/core/verticals/code.ts
The engine is registered as a high-quality secondary engine with weight 0.3 and no date-filter support.
Validation coverage
tests/unit/search/engines/npm-registry.test.ts, tests/unit/search/v1/verticals/code.test.ts
Tests cover result mapping, request behavior, malformed responses, invalid entries, errors, and updated engine configuration.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3abc9

The change makes maxResults: 0 return an empty result before package mapping and adds regression coverage. The current head can still fail when a malformed registry response contains a null package entry, so the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up for malformed-response handling.

Comment thread src/search/engines/npm-registry.ts Outdated
coderabbitai finding on PR#403: data.objects dereference without
validating data itself. If the registry returns null or a primitive
(e.g. 'unexpected string', 42), accessing data.objects throws a
TypeError instead of returning an empty result set.

- Cast response.json() to unknown before narrowing
- Add null + typeof object checks before reading .objects
- Add tests for null and primitive top-level JSON payloads

83-85: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Guard each objects entry before reading package.

The top-level array check does not validate its elements. A response such as { "objects": [null] } reaches Line 84 and throws when it reads .package. Skip null or non-object entries before dereferencing them, and add a regression test for this payload.

Proposed fix
     for (let i = 0; i < total; i++) {
-      const pkg = objects[i].package;
+      const entry = objects[i] as NpmSearchObject | null | undefined;
+      if (entry === null || typeof entry !== 'object') continue;
+      const pkg = entry.package;
       const name = asString(pkg?.name);
