Status: LGTM.

Hardens #2019 by removing what that PR had to patch.

What was wrong

#2019 pinned brace-expansion and fast-uri in the docs site after four advisories turned the Security workflow red on main. Every one of them came from serve, a devDependency used by exactly one line:

brace-expansion@5.0.12  <- minimatch <- serve-handler <- serve (devDependencies)
fast-uri@3.1.8          <- ajv       <- serve
compression@1.8.2       <- serve

serve backed "start": "serve out" — a local preview of the static export — and is referenced nowhere else in the repo, CI, or docs. So the site carried a ~630-line slice of lockfile, and three standing advisory pins, for code that never reaches the published site. Each new advisory in that tree reddened main after merge and needed a hand-written pin plus a lockfile regen; that has now happened repeatedly.

The pins were the right call at the time. They just treat the symptom.

How it was fixed

  • website/scripts/preview.mjs — a dependency-free static server for out/, backing pnpm start. Routing matches what the export produces: /docs/cli, /docs/cli/ and /docs/cli.html all resolve to docs/cli.html, a directory index wins where one exists, and a miss serves 404.html with status 404. Path traversal is rejected (.., %2e%2e, null bytes).
  • Removed serve from website/package.json.
  • Dropped the three overrides that existed only for serve's tree: brace-expansion, fast-uri, compression. The build-time pins (postcss, sharp, nanoid) stay — those are real.
  • Regenerated website/pnpm-lock.yaml (627 lines lighter). The root lockfile is untouched, so the Nix flake hash does not change.

out/_redirects is a Cloudflare feature and is not applied locally, exactly as before — serve did not honor it either.

Proof it works

  • pnpm audit --dir website → no known vulnerabilities, with three fewer pins than before.
  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts --dir website passes, so the Website Lockfile Drift job stays green.
  • pnpm build in website/ succeeds after the removal, and the preview serves the real out/: / 200, /docs/cli 200, /docs/cli/ 200, /robots.txt 200 as text/plain, /nope 404 from 404.html.
  • test/website-preview.test.ts (11 tests) covers route resolution, trailing slashes, directory indexes, content types, traversal refusal, and an end-to-end fetch against a fixture export.
  • test/pnpm-workspace-config.test.ts gains a guard: start must point at the committed script, and no serve/serve-handler may reappear in the site's lockfile. Re-adding a server dependency is then a deliberate choice that updates the test.
  • Full suite: 6477 passed, 10 failed — all 10 fail identically on main (artifact-workflow, config-profile, 8 environmental config-edit), verified in a clean main worktree.

Notes / nits

  • Docs-site tooling only, so no changeset.
  • website/README.md already describes pnpm run start as "Serve the built out/ directory locally", which is still accurate; left as is.
  • The Security workflow is unchanged. This narrows what it has to audit rather than relaxing what it blocks on.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • The website’s start command now previews the built site using a built-in server.
    • Previews support direct files, directory index pages, and exported routes with or without trailing slashes. Common file types are served with the appropriate content type.
    • Missing pages use the site’s custom not-found page when available, and invalid paths are handled safely. The preview server starts only when a built site is available.
    • Previewing does not apply redirects configured in the exported site.

`pnpm start` ran `serve`, a dev-only tool whose transitive tree kept
publishing advisories into the docs site's graph. Four of them had to be
pinned by hand in #2019 (brace-expansion x3, fast-uri) after the Security
workflow went red on main, for code that never reached the published site.

Replace it with a first-party static preview script, which has no tree to
audit, and drop the three pins that existed only to patch serve's tree
(brace-expansion, fast-uri, compression). The build-time pins (postcss,
sharp, nanoid) stay.

📝 Walkthrough

The website now starts a dependency-free server for its static export. The server resolves files and routes, sets content types, and returns 404 responses for missing paths. Tests cover file resolution, content types, HTTP responses, and website preview configuration.

Changes: Website Preview

Layer / File(s) Summary
Static export preview server
website/scripts/preview.mjs, test/website-preview.test.ts
The preview server resolves files, directory indexes, and .html routes. It rejects invalid or out-of-root paths, sets content types, and serves a static 404 page when available. Tests cover resolution, content types, and HTTP responses.
Website start configuration
website/package.json, website/pnpm-workspace.yaml, test/pnpm-workspace-config.test.ts, .changeset/website-preview-no-server.md
The start script runs scripts/preview.mjs. The serve dependency and three workspace overrides are removed. A changeset records the update. A configuration test checks the start script, preview module, and lockfile packages.

Canonicalize paths in the identity assertions.

These resolver tests compare existing filesystem paths as identities without canonicalizing them. Canonicalize both results with fs.realpathSync.native() throughout the path assertions, and add an alias-path regression. As per coding guidelines: “When asserting existing filesystem paths as identities, canonicalize both actual and expected paths first” and “Add an alias-path regression when touching path identity logic.”

to remove that parent directory and its contents.
- Line 16: Update the variable import of scriptPath in the preview test to pass

Review comments at @website/scripts/preview.mjs:
- Around line 89-90: In the candidate lookup flow, validate the
filesystem-resolved path against the resolved export directory before serving a
file, so symlinks cannot expose files outside the export. Add a regression test
covering a symlink escape through the preview request path.
- Line 90: Handle filesystem races in the candidate lookup and read-stream
paths: catch errors from `statSync`, and handle stream errors for both normal
files and `404.html`. When a stream fails before response headers are sent,
return an error response; prevent unhandled stream errors from terminating the
preview process.

Comment thread .changeset/website-preview-no-server.md Outdated
test/website-preview.test.ts failed to parse on windows-pwsh only, with
`SyntaxError: Invalid or unexpected token`:

- `preview.mjs` opened with `#!/usr/bin/env node`. The file is imported by
  the suite, and `#` is an unexpected token for any parser that does not
  strip it. The script is never executed directly - `pnpm start` runs
  `node scripts/preview.mjs` - and the file is not executable, so the
  shebang was decorative.
- The suite imported it by a path built with `path.join`, which on Windows
  is `D:\\...`: not a module specifier. Use a literal relative specifier, so
  the runner resolves it the same way it resolves every other import here.

The preview server is not safe to approve at this head. Lexical containment still follows a symlink under out/ and can serve a file outside the export when HOST exposes the server. stat/read races can also throw or emit an unhandled stream error, and the traversal test writes and deletes a shared temp filename outside its unique fixture. Please address the existing unresolved threads and narrow the changeset's Cloudflare routing claim.

…read errors

- A symlink under out/ that pointed outside it passed the lexical prefix
  check, and the file behind it was served. Each candidate is now checked
  again after resolving symlinks, against the resolved export directory;
  404.html goes through the same lookup.
- A file removed or made unreadable between lookup and streaming threw from
  statSync or emitted an unhandled stream error that killed the server.
  Lookup errors are a miss, and headers are sent only once the file is open,
  so a failed read gets a plain 500 (or 404 for 404.html) instead.
- The traversal test wrote and deleted a fixed filename in the shared temp
  directory. The export now sits inside a per-run parent, so the outside
  file is unique to the run.
- The changeset no longer claims Cloudflare routing: out/_redirects is not
  applied.

The symlink-escape and unreadable-file tests fail against the previous
preview.mjs and pass now.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Handle an EPERM failure when creating the junction.

The fs.symlinkSync(outsideDir, ..., 'junction') call on Line 114 sits outside the try block. It also has no skip guard. On a platform that refuses the link, the test fails with an error instead of skipping. The comment says that a junction needs no privilege on Windows. That is true for Windows. On other platforms, the 'junction' type is ignored, so a regular symlink is created. This is acceptable. Keep the current code if the CI matrix is Windows, macOS, and Linux only. Wrap the call in the same try-and-skip pattern as linkFile if you want to support restricted environments.

Re-reviewed at 9d8d8d4. The preview now rejects lexical and symlink escapes, handles lookup and stream failures without crashing, keeps traversal fixtures inside a unique temporary parent, and no longer overstates redirect support. Focused preview and workspace tests pass: 18 tests.
