feat(install-dynamic-plugins): add @red-hat-developer-hub/cli-module-install-dynamic-plugins#3246
Conversation
Migrates scripts/install-dynamic-plugins/ from redhat-developer/rhdh#4574 into this repo as @red-hat-developer-hub/install-dynamic-plugins so it can be published to npm and consumed by the RHDH init-container without curl-by-SHA. Runtime contract (CLI args, env vars, plugin-hash format, on-disk layout, tar/OCI security guards) preserved verbatim. Build remains a single self-contained .cjs via esbuild. Tests migrated from vitest to jest to align with the repo's backstage-cli pipeline (14 suites / 166 tests pass). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Review Summary by QodoAdd @red-hat-developer-hub/install-dynamic-plugins workspace with TypeScript/Node.js port
WalkthroughsDescription• Imports scripts/install-dynamic-plugins/ from redhat-developer/rhdh as a new workspace package @red-hat-developer-hub/install-dynamic-plugins for npm publication • Implements TypeScript/Node.js port of the original Python init-container CLI with byte-compatible behavior • Core functionality: materializes plugins on disk from dynamic-plugins.yaml config, supporting OCI (via skopeo) and NPM sources • Preserves runtime contract unchanged — same CLI surface, environment variables, and plugin hash values for in-place upgrades • Implements comprehensive security guards: path-traversal rejection, zip-bomb detection, link-target containment, and allowed-type whitelisting in tar-extract.ts and catalog-index.ts • Migrated test suite from vitest to jest with 14 test suites and 166 passing tests • Configured single bundled .cjs via esbuild for init-container image compatibility • Nested workspace layout (workspaces/install-dynamic-plugins/packages/install-dynamic-plugins/) matches monorepo structure and release pipeline • Implements concurrency control with semaphore-based worker management for OCI and NPM installations • Includes OCI image caching, manifest handling, pull policy support (IfNotPresent/Always), and registry fallback logic • Provides SRI integrity verification for NPM packages with streaming hash computation • Implements lock file management with signal cleanup to prevent concurrent installs Diagramflowchart LR

- Add bin/install-dynamic-plugins shim and have package.json bin point at it (matches the convention used by extensions-cli, translations-cli, and rhdh-repo-tools). Split src/cli.ts as the esbuild entry so the bundle no longer needs the require.main guard or a shebang banner. - Stop committing dist/install-dynamic-plugins.cjs; the release pipeline rebuilds via the customBuild path, and a new prepack script makes yarn npm publish self-healing for local runs. - Drop the .js suffix from relative imports across src/ so the package matches the rest of the repo and the jest moduleNameMapper workaround is no longer needed. - Consolidate the tsconfigs: the inner package extends the workspace tsconfig and only declares what differs. - Add why-it's-intentional comments to the two eslint-disable lines (PullPolicy const+type pair, tar.x filter inside a sequential loop). - README now leads with the npm/npx usage path; the RHDH init-container section is below. tar/yaml stay in dependencies (not devDependencies as the review suggested) — @backstage/no-undeclared-imports flagged the source imports, and the repo convention treats bundling as opaque. 166/166 tests pass, tsc/lint/prettier clean, bin shim and bundle both exit 0 on the empty-config smoke run.

The CI step "check api reports and generate API reference" runs
`backstage-repo-tools api-reports --ci` before the build, and that tool
requires the bin file to introspect the CLI. The previous shim did a
plain `require('../dist/install-dynamic-plugins.cjs')`, which failed
under CI because dist/ is no longer committed and the build hasn't run
yet.
- Switch the bin shim to the local-vs-installed pattern used by every
other CLI in the repo (extensions-cli, translations-cli,
rhdh-repo-tools): when `src/` exists (monorepo), load TS directly via
`@backstage/cli/config/nodeTransform`; otherwise require the built
bundle (npm-installed scenario).
- Add `--help` / `-h` handling to main() so the api-reports tool can
introspect the CLI usage without creating a stray `--help/` directory.
- Commit the generated `cli-report.md`.

🚀 New features to boost your workflow:
|
- Use String.raw for strings containing backslash literals so the source
reads with one '\' instead of '\\\\' (catalog-index.ts log message,
extra-catalog-index.test.ts subdirectory fixtures, skopeo.test.ts shell
escape).
- Switch the OCI regex builder to a joined string array — eliminates the
nested template literals SonarCloud was flagging on oci-key.ts (and
reads much better).
- Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call -> Object.hasOwn in
merger.test.ts (ES2022, available since Node 16.9).
- String#replace(/'/g, ...) -> String#replaceAll("'", ...) in
skopeo.test.ts (ES2021).
- Hoist test helpers (stageLayer, fakeImageCache) out of their describe
blocks so they aren't re-defined on every test.
- Drop the redundant parseMaxEntrySize(undefined) call in types.test.ts —
the parameter already defaults to process.env.MAX_ENTRY_SIZE.
166/166 tests still pass.

Switches the hand-rolled `process.argv` + USAGE-string handling in main() to `cleye` — the same parser every `@backstage/cli-module-*` package uses (already in our transitive deps). Aligns with the Backstage CLI convention requested during PR review. Existing surface preserved: - positional `<dynamic-plugins-root>` (required, exit 1 if absent) - `--help` / `-h` prints usage and exits 0 - normal run still exits with the installer's status code Bundle grew from 226 kB -> 267 kB (cleye + type-flag minified).

…keeping the bundled bin Aligns with the @backstage/cli-module-* convention without losing the self-contained bundled artifact: - Rename to @red-hat-developer-hub/cli-module-install-dynamic-plugins, backstage.role: cli-module. - src/installer.ts holds the install pipeline and main() (formerly src/index.ts). - New src/index.ts default-exports `createCliModule(...)` registering an `install` command whose loader is src/command.ts. Exposes the package through backstage-cli discovery — `backstage-cli install <dir>` works when the package is a dependency. - src/cli.ts (the esbuild entry) keeps invoking installer.main() directly, so the bundled .cjs stays self-contained: no @backstage/cli-node and no keytar gymnastics in the bin path. - Build is dual now — `backstage-cli package build && node esbuild.config.mjs`. backstage-cli emits dist/index.cjs.js (the cli-module export) and the unbundled supporting modules; esbuild emits dist/install-dynamic-plugins.cjs (the standalone bin). Both are published. - bin shim's installed branch now requires the bundled .cjs explicitly rather than going through `main` — that keeps direct/npx/init-container invocations at ~60 ms cold start instead of paying the cli-module dispatch cost. - main() now takes optional `args` and `programName` so the cli-module loader can pass the command's argv slice and have `--help` print the real invocation (`install-dynamic-plugins install …`). - @backstage/cli-node added as a runtime dependency. It is only loaded by the cli-module discovery path; the bundled bin never imports it. 166/166 tests pass; tsc/lint/prettier/api-reports clean. Bundle size unchanged at ~267 KB.

…nbundled cli-module Replaces the dual build (esbuild bundle + backstage-cli) with plain `backstage-cli package build` — the standard Backstage cli-module pattern. The bundle and the keytar gymnastics only existed to satisfy RHDH's init-container `COPY` of a single self-contained `.cjs`; that consumption model is moving to `npm install` (redhat-developer/rhdh#4908), so the single-file requirement is going away. What's left in the package: - `src/installer.ts`: install pipeline + `main(args, programName)`. - `src/index.ts`: `createCliModule(...)` default export, registers the `install` command. Discovered by `backstage-cli` when this package is a dependency of a host project. - `src/command.ts`: thin loader that calls `installer.main`. - `bin/install-dynamic-plugins`: fast-path shim that loads `dist/installer.cjs.js` directly and runs `main(process.argv.slice(2))`, bypassing `@backstage/cli-node`'s `runCliModule` dispatch — saves ~80 ms of cold start for direct/`npx`/init-container invocations. The cli-module discovery path still goes through `runCliModule` and pays the dispatch cost where it belongs. Removed: - `esbuild.config.mjs` (the custom bundle config) - `src/cli.ts` (the esbuild entry) - `dist/install-dynamic-plugins.cjs` from `files` (no longer produced) - `esbuild` devDependency 166/166 tests pass; tsc/lint/prettier/api-reports clean.

…undle The README and the createCliModule docstring still referenced the self-contained bundle that the package no longer ships: - `npm run build` description and committed-bundle CI-check section. - `node install-dynamic-plugins.cjs "$1"` wrapper line in "How RHDH consumes it" — replaced with a pointer to redhat-developer/rhdh#4908. - `src/index.ts` describing the bin path as the bundle. - Source layout was missing `index.ts` / `command.ts` / `installer.ts`.

Summary
Imports
scripts/install-dynamic-plugins/from redhat-developer/rhdh#4574 into this repo and packages it as a Backstage CLI module —@red-hat-developer-hub/cli-module-install-dynamic-plugins— so the overlay repo (and any other RHDH consumer) cannpm installit instead of vendoring the script.Builds with the standard
backstage-cli package buildand follows the@backstage/cli-module-*convention. No custom esbuild config, no keytar stub.Architecture

Bypasses@backstage/cli-node'srunCliModuledispatch for direct/npxinvocations — saves ~80 ms cold start (commander, zod, @manypkg/get-packages, @yarnpkg/lockfile, proper-lockfile, fs-extra, …).

This package is built to be consumed two ways, both running the same install pipeline:
npx:npx @red-hat-developer-hub/cli-module-install-dynamic-plugins ./dynamic-plugins-root. Runs the fast-path bin.backstage-clihost: when listed as a dependency of a project that usesbackstage-cli, the command is registered automatically.backstage-cli install ./dynamic-plugins-rootworks out of the box.The follow-up RHDH PR (redhat-developer/rhdh#4908) switches RHDH's init-container from
COPY scripts/install-dynamic-plugins/dist/install-dynamic-plugins.cjsto consuming this package throughdynamic-plugins/package.json(yarn). After both PRs land,scripts/install-dynamic-plugins/can be deleted from RHDH in a subsequent cleanup.Test plan
