Re-checks older standalone tests with minimal test_deps (batch 5 of 6, nspr–sops): 25 packages, 57 tests.

These tests were written with test_deps = [base]. base brings in bash, coreutils, grep, sed, gawk, diffutils, findutils, tar, gzip, xz, bzip2, file and tzdata, and through them zlib, zstd, libmagic, libstdc++ and more. That masks missing runtime libraries: a binary that needs an undeclared library still loads, because base put the library in the test closure. The smoke-test batches of 11-06/07 (#1364–#1368, #1372, #1373) used minimal deps and found several real missing runtime_deps this way.

What changed

Mostly test_deps. Exceptions: pnpm and python (see the update below).

  • base is removed from every test's test_deps.
  • bash-bootstrap is added where a command runs /bin/bash or /bin/sh (its only runtime_dep is glibc).
  • The base tools a script actually calls are added explicitly: coreutils, grep, diffutils, findutils, gawk, tar, gzip. They were found by scanning each script's command positions, including multi-line m%"…"% scripts and #!/usr/bin/env shebangs.
  • Other non-base deps (toolchain, jdk, ocaml, git, and so on) are kept as they were.
  • let base = import … stays wherever base is still a build dep.

tests are not part of the spec hash, so the test_deps changes rebuild nothing. pnpm and python are the exceptions, because their dependencies change. python gains bzip2 as a build dep, and python sits under most of the tree, so this is effectively a world rebuild: 599 spec hashes change against main 103b8ba (mip dump --packages, amd64). Queue it on its own, not behind or ahead of another world rebuild such as #1403.

Expected failures

Some of these tests are expected to fail. That is the point of the PR. A failure with the minimal closure, typically exit 127 with empty stderr (a loader failure) or a missing shared library, shows a package with an UNDECLARED runtime_dep that base was hiding. Each one gets fixed in a follow-up commit on this branch by adding the missing runtime_deps (which does rebuild that package). A failure can also come from a script calling a tool the scan missed. Those get fixed by adding that tool to test_deps, never by adding base back.

The failures were deliberately not predicted ahead of time. This PR exists so the build-bot runs every test under the minimal closure.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated test environments across numerous packages to explicitly include shell and command-line utilities.
    • Added bzip2 to Python’s runtime dependencies; its archive check now covers both bzip2 and lzma support.
    • Added runtime dependencies for pnpm’s command-line tools.
    • Test commands and package behavior remain unchanged, except for the expanded Python archive check.

Update: pnpm and python change their packages

Review (CodeRabbit, agent-137) found two real runtime gaps that base had been hiding, so this PR is no longer test-only for these two:

  • pnpm: runtime_deps += sed. The gbin shim pnpm generates for globally installed bins runs sed wherever pnpm is deployed. global_install no longer lists sed in test_deps. (Commit 454c3d3's message mentions sed in test_deps; 3b9277b superseded that.)
  • python: runtime_deps += bzip2. _bz2 links libbz2, and bzip2 reaches python's build through base. The zipfile_read_bounds_decompression test now FAILS when the bz2 module is missing instead of skipping it, which is how the gap stayed hidden.
  • python: tarfile_filter_stays_in_destination drops file from test_deps (unused; it only put libmagic in the closure).

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

…pr–sops)

Replace `base` in test_deps with bash-bootstrap plus the tools each script
actually calls, so the test closure no longer masks undeclared runtime libraries.
Test commands are unchanged; tests are not in the spec hash.

Walkthrough

The build specifications for 25 packages update test dependencies. Tests that used base now declare bash-bootstrap and, where specified, utility or data packages. Python and pnpm also change runtime dependencies. Python’s ZIP decompression test adds a bzip2 module check.

- python: smoketest_zoneinfo test_deps += tzdata. zoneinfo reads the system
  tz database (/usr/share/zoneinfo); with test_deps = [] it raised
  ZoneInfoNotFoundError for Europe/Paris. The test's comment said it relied
  on base carrying tzdata.
- pnpm: global_install test_deps += sed. The bin shim `pnpm add -g` writes
  (~/.local/bin/gbin) runs sed to find its basedir: "sed: command not found",
  then "cd: null directory".

… test requires bz2

CodeRabbit on #1408, agreed: the gbin shim pnpm generates runs sed
wherever pnpm is deployed, and python's _bz2 links libbz2 (bzip2 reaches
the build through base), so both belong in the runtime closure, not only
in a test's deps. The zipfile test skipped a missing bz2, which is how
the gap stayed hidden; it now fails on it.

Review on Karl's behalf. This is a comment, not an approval. Nothing was built for it. The findings come from reading the declarations and fetching upstream sources, and each one says how it was checked. The CI rollup on this head is now PENDING.

CI: 13 checks pass and CodeRabbit SUCCESS. No minimal build result on the head commit (3b9277b). That head adds runtime_deps to pnpm (sed) and python (bzip2), so both rebuild, and that build hasn't been reported.

  • CodeRabbit's pnpm finding (sed belongs in runtime_deps) was applied in 3b9277b.
  • Its python finding is resolved by the bzip2 runtime dep.

Should-fix

  • None.

Nit

  • packages/python/build.ncl:171 (tarfile_filter_stays_in_destination): file in test_deps isn't needed. The script is cat > poc.py plus python3 poc.py, and "file" appears only inside Python strings ('…/sub/file'). It also adds libmagic and its libraries to the closure, which is the kind of masking this series is removing. Checked by reading the whole test. pnpm:cli keeps file correctly, because it runs file -L.
  • PR body: still says only test_deps change. It now changes pnpm and python runtime_deps, and the python zipfile test command (it asserts bzip2 as well as lzma). Commit 454c3d3's message says "global_install test_deps += sed", but 3b9277b superseded that by moving sed into runtime_deps. The final tree is right; only the history reads oddly.
  • Checked and fine: postgres server_test sets listen_addresses= (Unix socket only, no localhost lookup), and the python zoneinfo test gained tzdata.

Verdict: ready to approve once the build-bot reports on the head commit (drop the stray file optionally).

The test only writes and runs poc.py; "file" appears only inside Python
strings. libmagic in the test closure is the kind of masking this series
removes (agent-137 on #1408).

Scope matches the title and the update section of the body. 25 files change. Every hunk is a test_deps swap from base to bash-bootstrap plus named tools, or the import that it needs. The two exceptions are in the body: sed in the pnpm runtime_deps and bzip2 in the python runtime_deps, with the stricter zipfile check. Clobber none. git log on python and pnpm shows only this branch's commits on top of the last version bumps. Correctness I read each changed test's commands against its new test_deps. Each external tool that a s 8BD0 cript calls has a matching dep: mkdir/cat/tee/sha256sum/od/uname/env come from coreutils, cmp/diff from diffutils, find from findutils, grep, file, setarch from util-linux, readelf from binutils, and /bin/sh from bash-bootstrap. Each new let import is used, and no import duplicates an existing binding. bash-bootstrap next to a full bash runtime dep (python, pnpm) follows a pattern that the earlier merged batches already use in 60+ files. The two findings are comment-level only, in python. Note that the PR body table lists smoketest_zoneinfo as (none), but the diff gives it tzdata. The diff is correct and the table is stale. Not checked: whether the tests pass under the minimal closure. That needs a build and test run, and the PR expects the build-bot to show it.

Approving at 4da0223. My earlier findings are addressed and CI is green.

The zipfile test fails when bz2 is missing, so its header no longer calls
bzip2 optional and the import message no longer says skip. The bzip2 and
tzdata comments keep what the code needs and drop how the gap was found.

No spec hash changes (662/662 identical).
