chore: track download size per PR in the benchmark comment - #8455
Conversation
The benchmark comment reported "Package size" as `du -sk node_modules` after `npm prune --production`. That answered a narrower question than it appeared to: - it measured extracted disk usage, not what npm downloads - `du` counts disk blocks, so thousands of small files inflated it and made it drift with the filesystem - `node_modules` holds only our dependencies, so a change to what we ourselves publish reported as no change at all Replaces it with numbers taken from a real user install: pack the CLI, then install that tarball with `--omit=dev` into a scratch dir with an empty npm cache, and measure what came down. Download size (CLI package) 471 kB Download size (full install) 59 MB Installed size 253 MB Dependency count 1,240 Download totals come from cacache's index, which records an exact byte count per entry, rather than from measuring the cache directory. That lets us count only `.tgz` entries and skip cached registry metadata, which is also downloaded but fluctuates as unrelated packages publish. Published tarballs are immutable, so a given lockfile always yields the same total -- verified byte-identical across runs. Two metric names change, so both start fresh rather than comparing against values with different meaning: `.delta.packageSize` becomes `.delta.installedSize`, and dependency count now comes from the same probe install as everything else (1,093 -> 1,240, since it counts nested copies npm actually wrote rather than `npm ls` entries). `benchmark-post.yml` needs no change; delta-action picks up any `.delta.*`. Adds ~25s to the job. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

The first run posted "Dependency count: 1,240 ⬆️ 11.85% increase", which is not a real regression -- it compared a count of every package directory npm wrote against the old `npm ls` count under the same key. Same reasoning that renamed `.delta.packageSize` to `.delta.installedSize`; this key was missed. Relabelled to "Installed package count" too, since it counts nested duplicate copies rather than distinct dependencies. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Count installed package roots only. countPackages recursively walks installDir/node_modules and counts every package.json. A manifest inside a dependency fixture or embedded project may increase dependencyCount without representing an installed package root. Restrict the scan to package-root paths, or derive the count from the install lockfile. Add a fixture with a nested non-package manifest.

Make this test verify last-entry semantics.
The helper in scripts/measure-size.js keeps the last size for each cache key. Both entries use 13_397, so a regression that keeps the first value still passes. Use different sizes and assert the second value.

Makes the per-PR benchmark comment answer "does this change what users download?"
Why
The comment already tracks a Package size, so this is an extension rather than a new thing. But that number is
du -sk node_modulesafternpm prune --production, which is three steps away from download size:ducounts disk blocks. Thousands of small files inflate it badly (265 MB of real bytes reads as 361 MB on my machine), and it shifts with the filesystem. That's the source of the0.00% decreasenoise you see on PRs that changed nothing.node_modulesdoesn't contain our own package. So a change to what we publish reports as no change. fix: stop shipping broken source maps and drop direct node-fetch dep #8453 cuts the published tarball 38% and this metric would not notice.What it does now
Packs the CLI and installs that tarball the way a user would —
--omit=dev, into a scratch directory, with an empty npm cache — then measures what actually came down. All four numbers describe the same thing: one real install.This is the comment as rendered by this PR's own run:
The two download numbers answer different questions and both are worth catching: did we bloat our own package? versus did we pull in a heavy dependency?
Download totals are read from cacache's index, which records an exact byte count per entry, rather than by measuring the cache directory. That lets us count only
.tgzentries and skip cached registry metadata — also downloaded, but it fluctuates as unrelated packages publish. Published tarballs are immutable, so a given lockfile always produces the same total.Renamed keys, so nothing compares across a change in meaning
Two metrics changed what they measure. Both get new keys so they start a fresh baseline instead of reporting a phantom delta against the old semantics:
.delta.packageSize→.delta.installedSize. Reads ~261 MB rather than 440 MB: same tree, real bytes instead of disk blocks. Keeping the key would have shown a fake 40% win..delta.dependencyCount→.delta.installedPackageCount, relabelled Installed package count. It counts every package directory npm wrote, including nested duplicate copies, rather thannpm lsentries — 1,093 by the old measure, 1,240 by this one. I got this wrong on the first push and the run posted a red⬆️ 11.85% increasefor a metric that hadn't regressed; the rename fixes it, and the current comment above is clean.Verification
netlify-cli@27.4.2tarball is 469 kB.chalk@5.3.0reports 13,397 bytes from the index and its published tarball is exactly 13,397 bytes.npm run test:unit, 510/511 — the one failure is the pre-existinggenerate-autocompletionsnapshot onmain). They cover the traps: cacache buckets are append-only logs, so a re-fetched tarball must count once not twice; registry metadata must be excluded; symlinks must not be followed, ornode_modules/.bindouble-counts binaries.scripts/measure-size.jsruns standalone:npm run build && node scripts/measure-size.js.Notes
benchmark-post.ymlis untouched —delta-actionpicks up any.delta.*file, so new metrics need no plumbing.--ignore-scripts, which keeps runs deterministic and safe. It means the number is "what npm downloads", not "bytes that reach your disk" — anything a dependency fetches in its own postinstall isn't counted.ubuntu-latest, so linux-x64 platform binaries. Consistent run to run, but not identical to what a macOS user downloads..delta.*is now gitignored; it used to exist only on CI runners, but the script is locally runnable.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
