## Summary
This PR introduces a new postinstall optimization system that
significantly reduces the need to run lifecycle scripts for certain
packages by intelligently handling their requirements at install time.
## Key Features
### 1. Native Binlink Optimization
When packages like `esbuild` ship platform-specific binaries as optional
dependencies, we now:
- Detect the native binlink pattern (enabled by default for `esbuild`)
- Find the matching platform-specific dependency based on target CPU/OS
- Link binaries directly from the platform-specific package (e.g.,
`@esbuild/darwin-arm64`)
- Fall back gracefully if the platform-specific package isn't found
**Result**: No postinstall scripts needed for esbuild and similar
packages.
### 2. Lifecycle Script Skipping
For packages like `sharp` that run heavy postinstall scripts:
- Skip lifecycle scripts entirely (enabled by default for `sharp`)
- Prevents downloading large binaries or compiling native code
unnecessarily
- Reduces install time and potential failures in restricted environments
## Configuration
Both features can be configured via `package.json`:
```json
{
"nativeDependencies": ["esbuild", "my-custom-package"],
"ignoreScripts": ["sharp", "another-package"]
}
```
Set to empty arrays to disable defaults:
```json
{
"nativeDependencies": [],
"ignoreScripts": []
}
```
Environment variable overrides:
- `BUN_FEATURE_FLAG_DISABLE_NATIVE_DEPENDENCY_LINKER=1` - disable native
binlink
- `BUN_FEATURE_FLAG_DISABLE_IGNORE_SCRIPTS=1` - disable script ignoring
## Implementation Details
### Core Components
- **`postinstall_optimizer.zig`**: New file containing the optimizer
logic
- `PostinstallOptimizer` enum with `native_binlink` and `ignore`
variants
- `List` type to track optimization strategies per package hash
- Defaults for `esbuild` (native binlink) and `sharp` (ignore)
- **`Bin.Linker` changes**: Extended to support separate target paths
- `target_node_modules_path`: Where to find the actual binary
- `target_package_name`: Name of the package containing the binary
- Fallback logic when native binlink optimization fails
### Modified Components
- **PackageInstaller.zig**: Checks optimizer before:
- Enqueueing lifecycle scripts
- Linking binaries (with platform-specific package resolution)
- **isolated_install/Installer.zig**: Similar checks for isolated linker
mode
- `maybeReplaceNodeModulesPath()` resolves platform-specific packages
- Retry logic without optimization on failure
- **Lockfile**: Added `postinstall_optimizer` field to persist
configuration
## Changes Included
- Updated `esbuild` from 0.21.5 to 0.25.11 (testing with latest)
- VS Code launch config updates for debugging install with new flags
- New feature flags in `env_var.zig`
## Test Plan
- [x] Existing install tests pass
- [ ] Test esbuild install without postinstall scripts running
- [ ] Test sharp install with scripts skipped
- [ ] Test custom package.json configuration
- [ ] Test fallback when platform-specific package not found
- [ ] Test feature flag overrides

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Native binlink optimization: installs platform-specific binaries when
available, with a safe retry fallback and verbose logging option.
* Per-package postinstall controls to optionally skip lifecycle scripts.
* New feature flags to disable native binlink optimization and to
disable lifecycle-script ignoring.
* **Tests**
* End-to-end tests and test packages added to validate native binlink
behavior across install scenarios and linker modes.
* **Documentation**
* Bench README and sample app migrated to a Next.js-based setup.
