aube doctor now flags a direct dependency that statically imports a package it never declares, using a graph-walk + classify pipeline ported from nub's nub-phantom-core/nub-phantom-scan (jdx/nub / nubjs/nub, MIT).

Full test suite passes: 35 new crate tests, plus a doctor fixture test for the undeclared-import warning.

This adds two new crates, aube-phantom-core and aube-phantom-scan, trimmed from nub's originals to the filesystem-backed walk aube doctor needs, since nub's CAS-index variant only applies to nub's own extract-time package-linking hooks. The new check_phantom_dependencies check walks each direct dependency's published entry points and warns when it finds a static import that dependency's own package.json does not declare. A reference reachable only from the .d.ts type surface always classifies as type-only, matching nub's fix for pnpm#14128, because a type-only import needs nothing at runtime regardless of where its types come from.

cargo test -p aube-phantom-core -p aube-phantom-scan passes all 35 tests. cargo test -p aube doctor:: passes too, including the new fixture test that asserts a direct dependency's undeclared import surfaces as a doctor warning. cargo build -p aube builds clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added phantom-dependency scanning for direct and optional dependencies.
    • Detects undeclared runtime imports, including hard and soft phantom dependencies.
    • Supports package exports, subpaths, type declarations, single-file components, dynamic imports, and require usage.
    • Recognizes Node built-ins and npm package specifiers.
    • aube doctor reports undeclared dependency imports during project diagnostics.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Ignores commented-out scripts, invalid manifests, asset-only exports, and unreachable modules.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds two Rust crates for phantom dependency scanning. The core crate extracts and classifies module references. The scan crate discovers package entry points, walks reachable files, assigns verdicts, and integrates hard-phantom warnings into aube doctor.

Changes

Phantom dependency scanning

Layer / File(s) Summary
Core specifier and builtin classification
Cargo.toml, crates/aube-phantom-core/Cargo.toml, crates/aube-phantom-core/src/lib.rs, crates/aube-phantom-core/src/specifier.rs, crates/aube-phantom-core/src/builtins.rs
The core crate classifies relative, internal, non-package, and bare package specifiers. It recognizes Node builtin modules and normalizes package roots.
Static reference extraction
crates/aube-phantom-core/src/extract.rs
The extractor records static imports, re-exports, dynamic imports, require, require.resolve, and direct createRequire calls. It tracks guarded and type-only references and supports Astro, Vue, Svelte, and declaration files.
Manifest and entry-point discovery
crates/aube-phantom-scan/Cargo.toml, crates/aube-phantom-scan/src/manifest.rs
Manifest parsing collects dependency classes and bundled packages. Entry discovery handles runtime, subpath, SFC, extensionless, directory, and declaration targets while filtering unsupported assets.
Reachable module graph
crates/aube-phantom-scan/src/graph.rs
The graph walker resolves reachable files with runtime and declaration rules. It tracks main, subpath, and type provenance, unresolved relative imports, recursion depth, package-root bounds, and analyzed-file limits.
Verdict classification and scan API
crates/aube-phantom-scan/src/classify.rs, crates/aube-phantom-scan/src/lib.rs
The scanner aggregates references and assigns findings for hard and soft phantoms, type-only references, declared dependencies, peers, builtins, and self-references.
Doctor reporting integration
crates/aube/Cargo.toml, crates/aube/src/commands/doctor.rs
aube doctor uses usage_rs, scans direct and optional dependencies, and reports undeclared hard-phantom imports, including subpath-only findings.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 007a1

The dependency doctor can miss undeclared imports in valid script contents and Astro client scripts, causing users to receive incomplete warnings. These bounded correctness issues should be fixed before merging.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with modules to map,
Finding phantom imports in each little gap.
Builtins hop cleanly, type paths stay light,
Graphs trace the burrows from morning to night.
Doctor reports what the scanner can see—
A tidy crate garden for you and for me.

Greptile Summary

The PR adds undeclared-import detection to aube doctor through two new phantom-dependency scanning crates.

  • Extracts static and guarded package references from JavaScript, TypeScript, declaration files, and supported single-file components.
  • Walks dependency entry-point graphs and classifies undeclared references as hard or soft phantom dependencies.
  • Reports hard phantom imports for direct project dependencies through the doctor command.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge because no blocking failure remains within the follow-up review scope.

No blocking failure remains.

Important Files Changed

Filename Overview
crates/aube-phantom-scan/src/manifest.rs Parses dependency manifests, declaration surfaces, and export targets into graph entry points; no eligible new follow-up finding remains.
crates/aube-phantom-scan/src/graph.rs Walks reachable package modules while resolving relative files and package-local import mappings.
crates/aube-phantom-scan/src/classify.rs Classifies collected external references against the dependency declarations in the scanned package manifest.
crates/aube-phantom-core/src/extract.rs Adds guard-aware extraction of runtime and relevant type-surface package references.
crates/aube/src/commands/doctor.rs Integrates phantom scanning into doctor diagnostics for direct dependencies.

Comment thread crates/aube-phantom-scan/src/manifest.rs
Port nub's nub-phantom-core/nub-phantom-scan (jdx/nub / nubjs/nub, MIT)
graph-walk + classify pipeline into two new crates, trimmed to the
filesystem-backed walk aube doctor needs (nub's CAS-index variant is
specific to its own extract-time package-linking hooks). A reference
reachable only from the .d.ts type surface classifies as type-only
unconditionally, matching nub's post-pnpm#14128 fix.

Centralize the oxc_* dependency versions. The workspace centralizes most dependency versions, but this crate declares all five oxc_* versions inline. Add them to [workspace.dependencies] and use { workspace = true } here. No lints.workspace = true entry is needed because the workspace defines no lints table.

Make scratch directories unique per test run.

scratch keys the temp directory on the test name and the process id only. Two cargo test runs in parallel on the same machine still get distinct pids, so this is safe today. However, the directory is removed only on the success path; a failing assertion leaves it behind and the next run reuses stale files after remove_dir_all. This is acceptable, but consider a Drop guard so cleanup also runs on panic.

Address two review findings on jdx#1370: require_call now accepts a
no-substitution template argument the same way import(...) already does,
and fs_resolve normalizes root before the containment check so a caller
passing a root with a lexical .  or .. component still resolves.

Address a review finding on jdx#1370: is_create_require accepted ANY object's
.createRequire method (helper.createRequire()), which could false-flag an
unrelated call as a hard require edge. Now the member form only matches
Node's own documented shape, module.createRequire(...).

Do not strip HTML comments from script contents.

strip_html_comments processes the complete SFC before script_blocks extracts scripts. A valid script string such as const marker = "<!--"; is then treated as an HTML comment. If no --> follows, the function truncates the source and misses every later import. Restrict comment removal to markup outside script blocks, or use an HTML-aware state machine. Add a regression test for this case.
