build: guard the invariant that actually held on 2026-03-06 - #375
Merged
Conversation
The rule written down after that incident was "pin @solana/kit to ^5.0.0",
and nothing enforced it. That is not the rule. What broke was two runtime
copies of @solana/signers and @solana/transactions disagreeing about the
state a signature is assembled from, and the transactions went out
malformed. A version pin is one way to avoid that; it is not the property.
smoke-dist now asserts the property directly: @solana/signers,
@solana/transactions and @solana/transaction-messages must each be
inlined exactly once. The third is in the list because it keys its address
map off a module-private Symbol("AddressMapTypeProperty"), so a second
copy silently reads the first one's messages as untyped.
Counting is by distinct install path, not by marker line: one install
emits a marker per dist entry, and "@solana/signers/node_modules/
@solana/errors/..." names errors, not signers. Both mistakes read as
duplicates. The other @solana/* packages are deliberately NOT guarded —
they are stateless, and a kit 8 tree duplicates @solana/errors twenty
times with no effect.
The check runs a fixture through itself first. A guard that has never
fired is a guard nobody has tested, and this one is meant to fire once in
three years; if the matcher rots, the build says so instead of reporting
a clean bundle.
Verified against three bundles: the committed dist (1 copy each, passes),
a locally built @solana/kit 8.2.0 tree (also 1 copy each — the duplication
kit 8 causes is confined to the stateless packages), and a synthetic
v5-vs-v6 split (2 copies of signers, correctly rejected).

Reject missing guarded packages.
Line 127 accepts count === 0. A bundle that omits one guarded package passes this check, but the stated invariant requires exactly one installed copy. Fail when count !== 1, and add a zero-copy fixture.

Summary
The rule written down after the 2026-03-06
transaction_simulation_failedincident was "pin@solana/kitto^5.0.0". Nothing enforced it, and it isn't the property that matters. What broke was two runtime copies of@solana/signersand@solana/transactionsdisagreeing about the state a signature is assembled from. A version pin is one way to avoid that; it is not the invariant.smoke-distnow asserts the invariant directly:@solana/signers,@solana/transactionsand@solana/transaction-messagesmust each be inlined exactly once. The third is on the list because it keys its address map off a module-privateSymbol("AddressMapTypeProperty"), so a second copy silently reads the first one's messages as untyped.Why the counting is fiddly
Counting marker lines is wrong twice over. One install emits a marker per dist entry it pulls in, and
@solana/signers/node_modules/@solana/errors/...names errors, not signers. Both read as duplicates. It resolves each marker to the package after the lastnode_modules/segment and counts distinct install paths.The other
@solana/*packages are deliberately not guarded — they are stateless (@solana/errorsidentifies bye.name === "SolanaError", neverinstanceof), and a kit 8 tree duplicates@solana/errorstwenty times with no effect. Guarding them would be a size check wearing a correctness costume.Self-check
The check runs a fixture through itself before trusting the real result. A guard meant to fire once in three years is a guard nobody has tested; if the matcher rots, the build says so instead of reporting a clean bundle.
Verification
Three bundles:
dist/(kit 5.5.1)The kit 8 row is the useful one: it confirms the duplication kit 8 causes is confined to the stateless packages, which is what lets #358 be judged on bundle size rather than on signing risk.
