A generated counterpart to Yarn's hand-curated @yarnpkg/extensions: a database of packageExtensions that repair popular npm packages whose shipped files depend on things they never declared, published as a config dependency (db.json + a pnpmfile.cjs whose readPackage hook adds each entry's missing packages as optional peers with *).

How the database is built

The database is a pure function of (today's scan, data/approved.json, data/denylist.json):

  • devDependency-class xray findings enter automatically — the author knew about the dependency and built against it.
  • undeclared-class findings only queue in data/candidates.json until a human promotes them into data/approved.json; data/denylist.json buries false positives, with a global "*" key for test/bench harnesses that must never enter under any offender.
  • Nothing remembers yesterday: an entry whose finding stops reproducing falls out of the next day's diff on its own. A guard aborts any run that would remove more than 30% of an established database, so a broken scan cannot open a mass-deletion PR.

The daily pipeline

update.yml (03:17 UTC) builds xray from source at a pinned commit (to be replaced by a devDependency once @pnpm/xray is on the registry), installs the top 500 downloads in batches plus 16 stack fixtures — every package as an optional dependency so one broken package cannot sink its batch, always with install scripts off — then force-pushes a standing data-update branch carrying one PR whose body is the generated diff summary. publish.yml stamps 1.<yyyymmdd>.<n> and publishes with provenance when a merged PR changes db.json.

Verified

  • A smoke run (top 40 + the vite-react stack) immediately surfaced the predicted noise class — events and fast-uri ship their test files, so tape/tsd/neostandard arrived as devDependency-class findings — which drove the global denylist. The committed database holds three genuine repairs: ajv → re2, fdir → @types/node, and debug → supports-color (promoted through the candidate flow).
  • 16 tests pass (node --test): merge logic, curation precedence, hook behavior, data-file invariants.
  • Real delivery check: a throwaway project using the shipped hook installed debug@4.4.3_supports-color@10.2.2, with supports-color linked inside debug's own directory.

After merging

  • Add the NPM_TOKEN secret — the first publish cannot use trusted publishing.
  • PRs opened with the workflow's own GITHUB_TOKEN do not trigger CI on themselves; swap in a GitHub App token if CI on the daily PR matters.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Introduced @pnpm/compat-db, a compatibility database that supplies optional peer-dependency extensions for supported packages.
    • Added curated compatibility data, candidate findings, approved entries, denylisted dependencies, and common framework/tooling fixtures.
    • Added automated generation, validation, versioning, publishing, and update workflows.
  • Documentation

    • Added setup, configuration, data-source, maintenance, and licensing documentation.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for database construction, curation rules, package extension behavior, data integrity, and deterministic output.

The database is a pure function of the current scan and two curation
files: devDependency-class findings enter on their own, undeclared-class
findings queue as candidates until a human promotes them, and an entry
whose finding stops reproducing falls out of the next day's diff by
itself. The daily workflow scans the top downloads and a set of stack
fixtures, always with install scripts off, and opens a PR with the
difference.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds @pnpm/compat-db, curated dependency data, a pnpm package hook, database and scan-generation scripts, tests, documentation, and GitHub Actions workflows for testing, updates, and npm publication.

Changes

Compatibility database and pnpm integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Database contract and pnpm integration
package.json, db.json, data/*, pnpmfile.cjs, test/data.test.mjs, test/pnpmfile.test.mjs
Defines optional peer dependency metadata and curation files. The pnpm hook applies missing metadata while preserving existing dependencies. Tests validate data shape, denylists, candidates, and hook behavior.
Database construction and safeguards
scripts/lib/build.mjs, scripts/build-db.mjs, test/build.test.mjs
Merges xray findings by package and dependency, applies approvals and denylists, creates extensions and candidates, sorts output, and blocks excessive pair removal. Tests cover these rules.
Fixture scanning and report generation
fixtures/stacks.json, scripts/generate.mjs, .gitignore
Defines package stacks and generates sorted findings through dependency installation and xray scanning. Failed fixtures are tracked, and ignored directories cover generated work and source files.
Update and publication workflows
.github/workflows/ci.yml, .github/workflows/update.yml, .github/workflows/publish.yml, scripts/open-update-pr.sh, scripts/next-version.mjs
Adds CI testing, scheduled database updates, update pull request creation, date-based version calculation, and npm publication with a selectable dist-tag.
Repository documentation and licensing
README.md, LICENSE
Documents package usage, data curation, pipeline commands, environment variables, versioning, and the MIT license.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to 3fec0

The release workflow allows a manually supplied tag to be executed as shell syntax, which could let an attacker publish arbitrary package contents or expose release credentials; merge should be blocked until this is fixed. Invalid scan settings can also hang the daily job or silently produce incomplete compatibility data, with additional bounded correctness and release-safety follow-up required.

Poem

A rabbit checked the peer list twice,
Then tucked new findings into JSON ice.
The workflows hopped from scan to PR,
While pnpm stretched dependencies far.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Fully hand-curated extensions
  • ➕ Every database entry receives explicit human review.
  • ➕ Avoids dependence on scanner classification accuracy.
  • ➖ Scales poorly across the npm ecosystem.
  • ➖ Repairs become stale and require manual discovery and removal.
  • ➖ Loses the daily reproducibility and automatic pruning benefits.
2. Incremental persistent database
  • ➕ Scan outages cannot automatically remove established repairs.
  • ➕ Produces smaller daily changes when scan coverage fluctuates.
  • ➖ Retains stale repairs after upstream manifests are fixed.
  • ➖ Requires explicit deletion state and historical reconciliation.
  • ➖ Makes output dependent on prior runs instead of current evidence.

Recommendation: Keep the PR's stateless, hybrid-curation approach: automatically accepting strong devDependency evidence while reviewing undeclared findings balances coverage and false-positive control. The mass-removal and partial-scan guards address the primary risk of rebuilding from current evidence, while deterministic output keeps daily diffs auditable.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The PR is not yet safe to merge because a partial scan can still remove two-thirds of the current database without activating the mass-removal safeguard.

The revised guard requires at least three removed pairs, so an accepted partial scan that removes two of the current three pairs writes the reduced database despite exceeding the documented 30% threshold.

Action required

1. Removal guard currently inactive ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
The mass-removal check only runs once the database contains at least ten pairs, so the committed
three-pair database can be completely erased by a broken scan without aborting. This defeats the
pipeline's stated protection during its current and early growth stages.
Code

scripts/build-db.mjs[45]

+if (before.size >= 10 && removed.length * 10 > before.size * 3 && !process.env.ALLOW_MASS_REMOVAL) {
Evidence
The committed database contains three package/dependency pairs, while the guard requires
before.size >= 10; therefore removing all three never enters the abort path. Generation only
rejects runs where no fixture was scanned, so successful xray invocations producing no findings can
still feed an empty report set downstream.

db.json[3-34]
scripts/generate.mjs[141-157]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The mass-removal guard is disabled while the previous database has fewer than ten pairs. The current database has three pairs, so even removing all entries bypasses the safeguard.

## Issue Context
The guard should prevent a broken or empty scan from producing a destructive update regardless of database size. If guarding a one-pair database needs special handling, use an explicit absolute rule rather than disabling protection for all databases below ten pairs.

Remediation recommended

2. Concurrent publishes reuse versions ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
The publish workflow permits overlapping push and manual runs, while each run independently
calculates its version from already-published registry versions. Two concurrent runs can select the
same version, causing one publish to fail and leaving that commit unpublished.
Code

.github/workflows/publish.yml[R20-23]

+jobs:
+  publish:
+    name: Publish to npm
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
Evidence
The workflow supports both push and manual triggers but declares no concurrency control.
next-version.mjs derives the next patch exclusively from versions already visible in npm, so
overlapping runs observe the same state before either publishes.

.github/workflows/publish.yml[3-15]
.github/workflows/publish.yml[20-26]
scripts/next-version.mjs[12-30]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
Publish jobs are not serialized, but version allocation reads registry state before publishing. Concurrent runs can therefore allocate the same version and one will fail.

## Issue Context
Both pushes and manual dispatches can start this workflow. Add a shared publish concurrency group with cancellation disabled so a queued run calculates its version only after the preceding publish completes.

3. Registry failures mimic first publish ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability
Description
next-version.mjs catches every failure from npm view and assumes the package does not exist,
including network, registry, authentication, and malformed-response failures. On an existing package
this can choose patch zero again and fail the release with a duplicate version instead of exposing
the lookup failure.
Code

scripts/next-version.mjs[R18-22]

+  const parsed = JSON.parse(raw)
+  published = Array.isArray(parsed) ? parsed : [parsed]
+} catch {
+  // The package does not exist yet; this is the first publish.
+}
Evidence
The try contains both the npm command and JSON parsing, and its unfiltered catch converts every
exception into an empty published-version list. The subsequent reduction consequently selects patch
zero whenever the lookup fails for any reason.

scripts/next-version.mjs[12-28]
.github/workflows/publish.yml[41-50]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
All npm registry lookup failures are treated as evidence that the package has never been published. This hides transient or malformed registry responses and can generate an already-used version.

## Issue Context
Only the specific package-not-found response should activate the first-publish fallback. Other command failures and invalid responses should terminate version calculation with a clear error.

Swallow only the "package not found" error.

The catch block treats every failure as "first publish". A registry outage, an auth failure, or a DNS error produces the same result: published stays empty and the script prints 1.<date>.0.

spawn has no timeout. If pnpm install or xray hangs on one fixture, the promise never settles and the job runs until the 180-minute workflow limit expires. That wastes the whole scan, not just the fixture.

Pin the Rust toolchain.

The job builds xray with the Rust version that the ubuntu-latest image happens to ship. That version changes without notice and can break the pinned XRAY_REF build. Add an explicit toolchain step so the daily run stays reproducible.

Inline comments:
In @.github/workflows/publish.yml:
- Around line 49-50: Update the Publish step so the workflow expression for
inputs.tag is assigned through the step’s env block with a latest fallback, then
invoke pnpm publish using the quoted environment variable instead of
interpolating the input directly in the shell command.

In `@README.md`:
- Around line 34-36: Update the README statement describing manifest resolution
to say that dependencies declared in dependencies, optionalDependencies, or
peerDependencies are preserved, while devDependencies are not included in this
protection and may be supplemented.
- Around line 101-102: Update the README publication documentation to list every
trigger configured by the publish workflow: merged pull requests changing
db.json, pnpmfile.cjs, or package.json, plus manual workflow dispatch. Replace
the db.json-only wording while preserving the existing automatic-publication
context.

In `@scripts/generate.mjs`:
- Around line 30-31: Validate the TOP_N and BATCH_SIZE values immediately after
parsing and before the scan loops use them: require finite, positive values,
rejecting zero, negatives, and NaN with a clear error. Preserve the existing
defaults and prevent the top-package scan and batching logic from running with
invalid configuration.
- Around line 111-123: Update mergeReport so duplicate findings for the same
dependency retain the stronger severity, matching buildDb’s severity-merging
behavior, instead of always keeping the first finding. Preserve unique findings
and ensure the merged result passed to buildDb reflects the highest-severity
signal.

In `@test/pnpmfile.test.mjs`:
- Around line 47-50: Update the test using hooks.readPackage to cover the
shipped debug extension: call it with name “debug” and assert the injected peer
dependency and optional metadata for debug and supports-color, while preserving
the existing no-match behavior if still required.

- Around line 41-42: Update the “Set the version” workflow step to capture the

- Around line 24-30: Update the version calculation around the today regex and
final console.log to read the major from db.json’s formatVersion instead of
hardcoding 1, and reuse that value consistently in both the matching pattern and
printed version.
- Around line 12-22: Update the catch handling around the npm view call in the
next-version script to ignore only a confirmed package-not-found/404 error,
while rethrowing registry outages, authentication failures, DNS errors, and all
other failures. Preserve the existing empty published fallback only for the
genuine first-publish case.

The dist-tag input now reaches the publish shell through the
environment, publishes queue behind a concurrency group, only a
registry 404 counts as a first publish, the mass-removal guard applies
at every database size, the scan knobs are validated, and duplicate
findings merge with the same rules build-db uses.

Addressed the review findings in 529b9a3:

  • Shell injection via the tag dispatch input (greptile, CodeRabbit, zizmor) — the input now reaches the shell through env, quoted, never through template expansion.
  • Mass-removal guard inactive below ten pairs (greptile, qodo) — the rule is now absolute: removing three or more pairs and more than 30% of the database aborts, at any size. One or two removals stay free so normal churn never trips it.
  • Concurrent publishes can allocate the same version (qodo) — publishes now queue behind a concurrency group with cancellation off.
  • Any registry failure read as first publish (qodo) — only an E404 activates the fallback; anything else throws.
  • TOP_N/BATCH_SIZE unvalidated (CodeRabbit) — both are validated integers now; BATCH_SIZE=0 throws instead of looping forever, and TOP_N=0 deliberately means stacks-only.
  • mergeReport drops the stronger severity (CodeRabbit) — duplicates now merge with the same rules build-db applies: severity upgrades, origins widen. (Only theoretical — the same name@version yields identical findings — but the two stages should agree.)
  • README wording (CodeRabbit) — the hook's precedence rule now names the three fields it respects and explains why devDependencies deliberately doesn't count, and the publish triggers are listed in full.
  • Test the shipped database, not just the miss path (CodeRabbit) — the hook test now applies every current db.json entry, chosen dynamically since the content turns over daily.

Declined one: the suggestion to strip the narrative comments (greptile P2). They state policy and rationale rather than restating code, and comment-rich prose is the house style here and in pnpm/xray.

Comment thread scripts/build-db.mjs
// Removing one or two pairs is normal churn at any size; beyond that, losing
// more than 30% of the database in one run means the scan broke, and the rule
// holds even while the database is small enough that 30% is a handful.

P1 Small removals still bypass guard

When a partial scan retains only one of the current database's three pairs, the removed.length >= 3 condition skips the percentage check, causing a two-thirds reduction to be written despite exceeding the documented 30% limit.
