Each @scriptc/cli-<platform> package bundled its platform's LLVM helper
and runtime pack, which are also published as @scriptc/llvm-<platform> and
@scriptc/runtime-<platform>. The CLI packages now depend on those packages
at the same version (workspace:*, which pnpm pack writes as the exact
version) and leave them out: cli-linux-x64-gnu goes from 115 MB to 60 MB
packed.
- build-native-cli.mts --platform-packages, which each CLI package's
build:native passes, writes a manifest without llvm_package, runtime_pack
and runtime_packs.
- loadNativeToolchain resolves a missing helper or host runtime pack as
Node resolves the package from the compiler's directory: nested in the
platform package, beside it (hoisted, or pnpm's virtual store) or higher
up. It requires the compiler's version, and an absent or mismatched
package fails with an error that names it.
- installNativeCli records where the package manager put both packages in
the installed manifest, with the same checks.
- verify-native-cli.mjs requires the exact dependencies of a platform
package and checks the resolved packages' versions.
- package-native-cli.mjs bundles the helper and runtime pack into the
standalone archives, which stay self-contained.
- smoke-native-install.mjs installs the helper and runtime pack tarballs
with the platform package; the bootstrap's exported package drops its
bundled copies first.
- release.yml publishes the CLI packages only once every helper and
runtime pack package resolves on npm, and scriptc only once the CLI
packages resolve, each wait at most 25 minutes. A rerun skips the
uploads npm already accepted and waits again.
Runtime packs: variants of a unit that do not read their defines, and
flavors that compile a unit the same way, produce identical objects and
bitcode. The pack build now points those manifest entries at one file
(shareIdenticalArtifacts) and deletes the copies. Each link selects one
flavor and one variant per unit, so no link names a shared file twice. The
linux-x64-gnu pack keeps 1,191 of its 1,448 artifact files.
Native CLI packages:
- The comptime evaluator builds with -g0 and the executable strip flags,
and the Windows build no longer ships its .pdb.
- The copied tsc-ts executable is stripped with llvm-strip, which rewrites
the linker-signed code signature of Mach-O executables.
- On arm64 macOS, verify-native-cli.mjs --run checks the code signatures
of the compiler, tsc-ts and the comptime evaluator.
- SCRIPTC_NATIVE_KEEP_SYMBOLS=1 keeps the symbols of all three.
- The copied runtime sources and declarations get LF line endings. A
Windows checkout converts them to CRLF, so the Windows CLI shipped files
that differed from @scriptc/runtime's.
A build with an empty cache type-checked scriptc's own declaration files,
the TypeScript libraries and scriptc's declarations, before reusing the
answer in later builds. That check was 18 ms of a 105 ms first build of
hello world.
- build-native-cli.mts has the built compiler build a module without
imports and a module with a type error, each in an empty cache, and
records the content keys of the declaration file sets the checker
reported no diagnostics in: the checker release, the compiler options,
and each file's name and sha256. They ship in
lib/declarations/lib-diagnostics.json, named by the toolchain manifest's
lib_diagnostics.
- A build whose cache has no answer computes the files' content key and,
when the shipped answers hold it, uses no diagnostics for those files
and stores that answer in the cache. The shipped answers apply only
while the checker is the distribution's own tsc-ts and its package
version is the release they were recorded with; a changed file has
another key.
- A compiler the build host cannot run ships without them.
tsc-ts 0.0.8's API server serves on the named pipe the Node host
connects over on Windows (tsc-ts --api --pipe), and the native compiler
already starts it over its standard streams there, so tsc-ts is the
default checker on every platform. SCRIPTC_CHECKER=tsgo still selects
tsgo.
The compiler depends on tsc-ts 0.0.8, which the release-age exclusions
admit with its platform packages and @scriptc/threads 0.4.2.
The Windows CLI smoke test runs with both checkers, and
verify-native-cli.mjs --run checks that a distribution's tsc-ts runs on
its platform (tsc-ts.exe on Windows).
scriptc's frontend talks to a TypeScript 7 API server. tsc-ts serves the
same API as tsgo, and it is now the default checker; SCRIPTC_CHECKER=tsgo
selects tsgo, which scriptc still includes.
- @scriptc/compiler depends on tsc-ts 0.0.3. The native distribution
ships its platform package as lib/tsc-ts, named by a new tsc_ts field
of the toolchain manifest; a manifest without it takes the executable
of an installed tsc-ts package.
- The executable cache key includes the tsc-ts executable's identity, in
the compiler and in the CLI's startup route.
- tsc-ts keeps the syntax trees it builds for the life of its process,
so the source parser starts a new server after 256 KB of parsed
source instead of letting one server grow with every file.
- A CI job compiles every corpus program with both checkers, in release
and dev, and requires the same LLVM IR and diagnostics
(scripts/checker-identity.mjs).
- Tests that compare with the TypeScript 7 SDK, the checker-panic
diagnostics, and the protocol tests run against tsgo.
- Enforce oxlint and oxfmt for owned JavaScript and TypeScript with independent CI checks.
- Preserve compiler import boundaries and protected fixtures while cleaning up lint findings.
- Standardize source formatting and validate import, fixture, and embedded-source protections.
