Zoltan Kochan 212315de16 fix: cap lockfile verification memory and add trustLockfile opt-out (#11878)
* fix: cap lockfile verification memory and add trustLockfile opt-out

Verifying a multi-thousand-entry lockfile against `minimumReleaseAge`
or `trustPolicy: no-downgrade` retained every fetched packument in a
per-install cache for the entire install. On large workspaces this
OOM'd CI runners with a 2GB heap cap. Project both caches down to just
the fields each check reads (per-version trust evidence + the `time`
map for trust; package-level `modified` + version-name set for the
abbreviated shortcut) so the bulk packument is GC'd as soon as the
fetch returns.

Also adds a `trustLockfile` setting (default `false`) that skips the
verification pass entirely for environments where the lockfile is
already part of the trusted base. Mirrored in pacquet. Closes #11860.

* perf: share resolver packument cache with the lockfile verifier

The verifier kept its own per-install dedup Maps and re-fetched every
packument the resolver had already pulled during the same install.
Plumb the resolver's per-install `PackageMetaCache` through to the
verifier (via `createNpmResolutionVerifier` / `build_resolution_verifiers`)
so a name already in the resolver's LRU short-circuits the verifier's
disk/network round-trip — fast path only, the cached document is
projected for the trust check so the verifier's memory footprint stays
bounded.

In pnpm, `installing/client` now constructs one LRU and hands it to
both `createResolver` and `createResolutionVerifiers`. In pacquet, the
`InMemoryPackageMetaCache` is lifted to `Install::dispatch` and passed
to both `build_resolution_verifiers` and `InstallWithFreshLockfile`.

pnpm

Fast, disk space efficient package manager:

  • Fast. Up to 2x faster than the alternatives (see benchmark).
  • Efficient. Files inside node_modules are linked from a single content-addressable storage.
  • Great for monorepos.
  • Strict. A package can access only dependencies that are specified in its package.json.
  • Deterministic. Has a lockfile called pnpm-lock.yaml.
  • Works as a Node.js version manager. See pnpm runtime.
  • Works everywhere. Supports Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Battle-tested. Used in production by teams of all sizes since 2016.
  • See the full feature comparison with npm and Yarn.

To quote the Rush team:

Microsoft uses pnpm in Rush repos with hundreds of projects and hundreds of PRs per day, and weve found it to be very fast and reliable.

Background

pnpm uses a content-addressable filesystem to store all files from all module directories on a disk. When using npm, if you have 100 projects using lodash, you will have 100 copies of lodash on disk. With pnpm, lodash will be stored in a content-addressable storage, so:

  1. If you depend on different versions of lodash, only the files that differ are added to the store. If lodash has 100 files, and a new version has a change only in one of those files, pnpm update will only add 1 new file to the storage.
  2. All the files are saved in a single place on the disk. When packages are installed, their files are linked from that single place consuming no additional disk space. Linking is performed using either hard-links or reflinks (copy-on-write).

As a result, you save gigabytes of space on your disk and you have a lot faster installations! If you'd like more details about the unique node_modules structure that pnpm creates and why it works fine with the Node.js ecosystem, read this small article: Flat node_modules is not the only way.
