refactor: drop bytebuffer, fs-extra, node-fetch and form-data

[sunnylqm]

Summary

Removes four runtime dependencies (plus their transitive deps) in favor of Node built-ins, and fixes one bug the new tests found.

• bytebuffer → Buffer (resource-finder.ts): a small little-endian Reader decodes resources.arsc. Output is byte-identical on 7 real APKs (Bun, Node 26, Node 18); a 3 MB arsc parses ~5× faster. First test coverage for this parser (synthetic arsc builder).
• fix: UTF-16 string pools (older aapt output) were decoded as UTF-8, so app names came out as M\0y\0A\0p\0p\0.
• fs-extra → node:fs: promise-style calls use fs.promises; the few conveniences without a one-liner live in src/utils/fs-helpers.ts (remove, ensureDir, pathExists, emptyDirSync, moveSync with an EXDEV copy fallback). The Harmony asset copy uses fs.cpSync with the same .map filter (no experimental warning on Node 18.20).
• node-fetch + form-data → node:http(s) (src/utils/upload-request.ts): the multipart POST and presigned PUT uploads keep the same proxy agent, exact Content-Length framing, abort and retry behavior. Request line, headers and multipart body are byte-identical to the old ones (recorded against a local server on Node 18, Node 26 and Bun), including form-data's per-extension file Content-Type (.apk, .aab, .map, …). Only User-Agent changes, from node-fetch/1.0 to the CLI's own. The Node < 18 node-fetch fallback in webFetch is gone (engines is already >= 18.17).

Test plan

• bun run lint, bun test (615 pass, 32 env-gated skips)
• bun run smoke on Node 26.8.1 and Node 18.20.8, including an upload through an HTTP proxy
• arsc output and wire-format comparisons against the old implementations on Node 18 / Node 26 / Bun
• real publish against OSS / GCS / S3
• real Android and Harmony bundle (Hermes path, moveSync, Harmony cpSync)

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved decoding of UTF-16 strings in Android app resources.
  • Upload requests now use a streamlined transport while retaining existing retry, timeout, and chunk-upload behavior.

• Compatibility

  • Fetching now relies on the runtime’s built-in fetch; Node.js versions without it no longer have a fallback.

📝 Walkthrough

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request removes selected dependencies and replaces their use with Node.js filesystem and HTTP(S) APIs or project helpers. It also replaces bytebuffer-based resource parsing with Buffer-based parsing and adds tests for the new helpers and upload and parser behavior.

Changes

Filesystem API migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Filesystem helpers and behavior tests src/utils/fs-helpers.ts, tests/fs-helpers.test.ts	Adds recursive removal and directory creation helpers, path existence checks, directory emptying, and move behavior. Tests cover these operations.
Hermes cache and test filesystem calls src/utils/hermes-base.ts, scripts/fuzz-hermes-base.ts, tests/hermes-*.test.ts	Hermes cache and probe code, the fuzzing script, and related tests use Node.js filesystem APIs and shared helpers instead of fs-extra.
Bundle, archive, and package filesystem calls src/bundle-pack.ts, src/bundle-runner.ts, src/diff.ts, src/native-package.ts, src/package.ts, src/utils/app-info-parser/aab.ts, src/utils/plugin-config.ts, src/utils/zip-*.ts, tests/plugin-config.test.ts, tests/zip-*.test.ts	Bundle, archive, package, and plugin code uses Node.js filesystem APIs and shared helpers for filesystem operations. Related tests update setup and cleanup calls.

Upload transport

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Upload request construction and sending src/utils/upload-request.ts	Adds request and response types, multipart request construction, content-type mapping, and HTTP(S) request sending with abort and error handling.
Upload integration and validation src/api.ts, tests/upload-chunked.test.ts, tests/upload-request.test.ts	Routes API uploads through the shared request utilities. Tests cover multipart and raw requests, responses, aborts, connection errors, and chunked request bodies.
Removed runtime dependencies and fetch fallback package.json, src/utils/runtime.ts, scripts/smoke-lib.js	Removes bytebuffer, form-data, fs-extra, node-fetch, and the related type packages. webFetch no longer uses the node-fetch fallback. A smoke-test comment now identifies http.request as the upload client.

Resource table parsing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Buffer-based resource parsing and tests src/utils/app-info-parser/resource-finder.ts, tests/resource-finder.test.ts	Replaces bytebuffer reads with a checked little-endian Reader over Buffer views. UTF-16 strings use utf16le decoding. Tests cover UTF-8 and UTF-16 strings, non-table input, and truncated tables.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 4fab9

The dependency replacements look sound, with only narrow edge cases left. A file that changes size mid-upload could produce a malformed request, and a directory-listing error could leave stale bundle output. Both are minor and can be fixed or accepted before merging.

456-458: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Truncated string data now throws instead of decoding partial text.

bb.readBytes(u8len) and bb.readBytes(len) run before the try block. They throw RangeError if a string extends past the pool chunk. The try/catch only wraps toString, which does not throw for any input. The exception propagates out of processStringPool.

This behavior is compatible with the retrieved learning. Corrupt data raises an explicit error and is not silently accepted. The catch blocks are dead code. They can mislead readers into thinking decoding errors are handled.

Remove the try/catch around toString. Alternatively, move readBytes inside it if a lenient fallback is intended.

Also applies to: 476-478
