Conversation
The static server used by `netlify dev` when no framework is detected was the only fastify consumer; everything else already uses express. Rebuild it on express with the same behavior: directory index without redirect, dotfiles served, no range or conditional handling, no validators, the custom or plain-text 404, 405 for non-GET/HEAD, matching cache headers, and the same localhost bindings and reported address family that the dev proxy connects to. Drops fastify and @fastify/static (46 packages, ~10 MB installed).

db-status, db-migration-pull and db-migrations-reset stub globalThis.fetch at module level and never restore it. Unit tests share one thread, so the stub leaked into later files: @netlify/serverless-functions-api captures globalThis.fetch when imported, wrapped the leftover stub, and any later test using the global fetch got undefined back. Depending on file order, this failed all static-server tests in CI.
@fastify/static rejected any request path containing a `..` segment with 403, even when it resolved inside the root. Do the same, and resolve the directory-index check against the root before touching the filesystem so it can never stat a path outside the served directory (CodeQL js/path-injection).
Use the path.relative containment check that CodeQL recognizes as a path-injection sanitizer. Behavior is unchanged.

Summary
src/utils/static-server.ts(the servernetlify devuses when no framework is detected) was the only code using fastify. Everything else in the CLI already uses express. This PR rebuilds that server on express and removesfastifyand@fastify/static.Install size (packed tarball,
--ignore-scripts, macOS arm64): 290 MB → 280 MB, 46 fewer packages (1,003 → 957), about 1,600 fewer files.fastify,pino,avvio,find-my-wayandlight-my-requestdrop out.Background: fastify came in with #5341 (January 2023), which replaced the archived
static-serverpackage (#4511). The issue originally proposed express's static middleware, since express was already a dependency. Fastify was chosen instead for speed, with the plan to replace express with fastify everywhere. That migration never happened, so the CLI has carried both frameworks ever since; #5341's benchmark showed it added 6.6% to the package size. A static server that only serves local files through the dev proxy doesn't benefit from fastify's throughput, so this goes back to the original proposal.Behavior kept from the fastify version
/dirservesdir/index.htmldirectly, with no redirect. Dotfiles are served.Range,If-None-MatchandIf-Modified-Sinceare ignored and the full file is returned. Responses carry noETagorLast-Modified.404.htmlis used for misses when present, otherwise plain-text404 Not Found. Non-GET/HEAD requests get405 Method Not Allowed.cache-control: public, max-age=0on file responses (including404.html) andpublic, max-age=0, must-revalidateon generated ones, withage: 0throughout.%2F) isn't decoded into a path separator, so it gets the 404 page...segment gets 403, even one that resolves inside the root (/sub/../index.html). The directory-index check resolves paths against the root before touching the filesystem, so it can't look outside the served directory.localhostaddress (::1and127.0.0.1), as fastify did, and nothing wider. It reports the family of the first extra binding, which is how fastify ordered its addresses.run-build.tsuses that family to pick127.0.0.1vs::1for the dev proxy.One intentional difference: error responses keep the same status and headers, but their bodies are now plain text (
Bad Request,Forbidden) instead of fastify's JSON errors with internal codes likeFST_ERR_BAD_URL. This covers malformed URLs (/%, broken percent-encoding, a null byte) and..paths.How this was verified
Details
tests/unit/utils/static-server.test.ts(36 cases) was written first and passes against both the old fastify implementation and the new one...(/../file,/%2e%2e/dir,/sub/../index.html,/..%2ffile) were sent to both servers over a plain socket, sincefetchnormalizes them away. Statuses match fastify for all of them, and neither serves anything outside the root.404.html. 42 of 45 are identical in status, every header and body. The 3 that differ are the malformed-URL bodies above.netlify dev: the compiled CLIs frommainand this branch were run on a static site with_redirectsrules. 13 of 14 proxied responses are identical (the remaining one is the null-byte 400 body), and the "Static server listening" log line is unchanged.generate-autocompletionunit test also fails onmain.devandservepass 206 tests. The one failure,dev/redirectsnext-app (next: command not found), also fails onmainbecause that fixture's dependencies aren't installed.
