Before: some object, array and table helpers did far more work than their input called for. CodeRabbit's security deepscan flagged four of these: CWE-407 in _mixin.ts, deep-merge.ts and util-md-table, and CWE-834 in _copy-deep.ts.

After: each one does work proportional to what it actually keeps, and results are the same as before.

  • deepAssign / deepMixin (_mixin) and deepMerge: when the source and target both reached one object along several paths, the helpers merged that pair again along every path. In tests, a ladder 40 levels deep with two paths per level never finished, and a deepMerge ladder 10 levels deep with eight paths per level ran for over 30 s. Each helper now counts the assignments that actually change a target, using the descriptor so no getter runs. It skips a pair whose last merge finished with that count unchanged, because rerunning it would assign the same values again. If anything changed in between, the pair still reruns, so the last write wins as before. A test pins that case down. deepMerge keys this per mode, because a pair past the depth limit is assigned over rather than merged into.
  • Array copies (_copyDeep, behind copyArray, deepAssign, deepMixin, create): an array longer than 65,536 is now read through the indices that it and its prototypes hold, instead of every index below length. Each index is still checked with in, and holes, inherited indices, non-enumerable indices and length are kept. Copying new Array(2 ** 32 - 1) now takes milliseconds instead of minutes.
  • mdTbl2json: each row now reads only up to the smaller of its own cell count and the header width, instead of walking the whole header. With a 30,000-column header over 30,000 one-cell rows, parsing drops from 2.1 s to 54 ms.

How: each fix has a test. I ran each new test against the old code: the merge ladders hang or time out, and the table test fails its time bound. All util-object (213), util-array (117) and util-md-table (10) tests pass on Node 24, including the existing graph, cycle and precedence tests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Performance Improvements
    • Improved copying of very large sparse arrays while preserving their length, present values, inherited indices, and empty slots, including when indices change during copying.
    • Made Markdown table parsing more efficient when rows contain fewer cells than the header, while retaining the existing row results.
    • Reduced redundant work when deeply merging objects with shared branches, while preserving updates, shared references, and repeated getter reads where needed.

Walkthrough

Array copying, Markdown table parsing, and object merging now limit traversal in the described cases. Tests cover sparse arrays, short table rows, shared object paths, accessor reads, and repeated merges after intervening changes.

For arrays longer than 0x10000, _copyDeep gathers present indices and copies indices that remain present. Tests cover sparse arrays, inherited and non-enumerable indices, and index changes caused by getters.
Bound Markdown table row reads

mdTbl2json maps only cells present in both the header and row. A performance test checks parsing many one-cell rows. The changeset records patch releases for all three packages.

The build check is failing in readTrailers › agrees with git about where the trailers are. This PR didn't cause it. main has been red with the same failure since 22ca26c, because the runners moved to git 2.56, and git 2.56 no longer reads a bare https://… line as a trailer. The fix is in #140 (47962f3), which only touches build/shared/commit-message.test.mts. Once #140 lands, this PR goes green on the next run, and the same applies to #142 and #143.

Outside diff Invalidate child settlement after an ancestor getter changes its source.

150-153: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Invalidate child settlement after an ancestor getter changes its source.

If get inner() increments inner.value and returns inner, merging { a: source, b: source } into two references to one target reads the getter twice. The first merge settles the inner pair. The second getter changes inner.value, but it does not change progress.changes, so this check skips the child merge. The target retains the first value. Include the accessor-read count in the settlement check, or invalidate settled pairs after a source getter runs. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Based on learnings: _mixin must propagate source-accessor effects through recursive merges.

Update the settlement check in _mixin so a source accessor read that changes
nested source data invalidates or distinguishes the previously settled child
pair; include accessor-read state in the check or invalidate settled pairs after
getter execution. Preserve recursive merge behavior so repeated references
reflect the latest getter-produced source state.

deepAssign, deepMixin and deepMerge merged a source object into a
target object again every time they reached the pair. When both
graphs reached one object along several paths, that work multiplied
at every level: 40 levels of two paths each, or 10 levels of eight
within deepMerge's default depth, never finished. Each now counts the
assignments that change a target and the getters it runs, and skips a
pair whose merge finished with that count unchanged, since rerunning
it would assign the same values again. Anything changed in between
still reruns the pair, so the last write wins as it did. A getter, on
either side, can answer differently on a second read, so a pair whose
merge ran one is never taken as settled, and deepMerge, which queues
a pair's children rather than finishing them first, also reruns a
pair with a getter anywhere below it within the depth limit, checked
afresh whenever the merge has changed something since. deepMerge
keeps its records per depth, since a pair one level deeper hands its
children to the shallow assignment past the limit, and counts queuing
a pair other than the one just queued as a change, so a pair reached
again after another one still gets the last word.

Copying an array walked every index below its length to find the ones
it holds, so copying new Array(2 ** 32 - 1) took minutes for an empty
result. Past 65,536 entries it now lists the indices the array and
its prototypes hold, and still checks each with `in`. The listing is
taken again until it holds nothing new, so an index an element's
getter adds or puts back on the way is copied too, and stops after a
pass that copies nothing, which a proxy listing an index it then
denies would otherwise repeat forever.

mdTbl2json walked the whole header for every row, so a wide header
over many short rows cost their product. It now reads only the cells
a row has, which is all it ever kept.
