The npm launcher's native-runtime downloader writes response chunks until the response ends. A missing or incorrect Content-Length can let one compressed archive fill the disk before checksum verification.
Change
Bound each archive download to 256 MiB (268,435,456 bytes). Reject an oversized declared length before creating the destination, and check actual chunks against the remaining allowance before writing. Complete short writes, count written bytes, abort on failure and close the file. Partial-file cleanup keeps the existing nonfollowing BigInt device/inode check; this is not atomic and still requires the installer's private staging directory. Checksum verification, transient HTTP retries, runtime validation, caching and atomic publication remain intact.
The full contribution is two files: launcher and its existing real-HTTP installer test. This bounds compressed archive-file bytes only. Expanded archives, metadata, concurrent installs, retained runtimes and other installer costs remain outside this limit.
Size policy and maintainer decision
The old 128 MiB proposal is already below supported release assets. Stable v0.1.9 Linux x64 is 149,119,656 bytes; the latest nightly inspected by review is 182,914,935 bytes. A 256 MiB ceiling leaves roughly 85.5 MB (81.6 MiB) above that nightly. Recent Linux x64 archives grew from about 96.7 MB to 182.9 MB in 17 days, so that headroom is not a long-term guarantee.
A future release above the cap needs an explicit limit change or fresh npm installs of that version will fail. The release pipeline does not currently compare real asset sizes with this cap. Maintainers still need to approve the fixed ceiling and decide whether a release-size gate belongs in separate work. This PR adds no configuration or release framework.
Verification
Node 26.12.1 on Linux in an isolated Boat sandbox, using the actual launcher against the existing local HTTP release fixture:
vp test run scripts/build-npm-launcher.test.ts: 2 tests pass. The installer test now accepts a valid gzip archive padded to 183 MiB, rejects declared size over 256 MiB, and rejects a headerless stream over 256 MiB. Both overflow cases assert the size-limit error and no published runtime. Existing checksum/cache/retry/IPC/runtime-validation assertions remain.
Before the cap repair, the current-size case fails under the old 128 MiB cap; after repair it installs successfully.
Negative control removing only the cumulative check fails the streamed-overflow assertion: it reaches a later checksum mismatch instead of the required size-limit error. The cumulative check was restored afterwards.
CI=true vp run check:changed ff045198dcea081ede43683d4e20e7fdbffa79b3: format, lint, both knip passes, affected package typecheck and the two tests pass.
The sandbox uses a synthetic Git anchor for changed-file selection. SHA-256 checks of both restored source files match the frozen reviewed candidate. No real release archive download, Windows zip-path, macOS, ARM or minimum-supported-Node execution is claimed. Hosted required checks on 2f18244 are satisfied: six passed and two skipped.
Fresh independent review by Claude Opus 5.5/high in Claude Code through T3 completed on frozen tree 0898d8e5616025f541b79bc4d78965561c2ec1e8: no blocking source findings. The review's stale-description finding is addressed here; the cap/release-policy decision remains with maintainers. The reviewer inspected supplied test logs without rerunning them.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The launcher adds a fixed 256 MiB runtime-download ceiling and safer failure cleanup. Human confirmation is needed for this new default installation limit, which rejects larger archives.

Walkthrough
The npm launcher now limits downloads to 256 MiB, creates destination files exclusively, handles partial writes, and removes incomplete files only when their identity matches the created file. Tests cover a successful 183 MiB archive and declared-length and streamed overflows.
Changes: npm launcher downloads
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Bounded download and cleanup scripts/npm-launcher/t3.mjs, scripts/build-npm-launcher.test.ts
get forwards request options to fetch. download checks declared and received data against the 256 MiB limit, creates the destination exclusively, handles partial writes, and returns the digest on success. On failure, it aborts the request and removes the destination only if its identity still matches the created file. Tests verify that a 183 MiB archive succeeds and both declared-length and streamed overflows fail without creating a version directory.
The change bounds npm launcher archive downloads and cleans up partial files. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains from the supplied review evidence.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title "fix(cli): stop unbounded runtime archive downloads" matches the main change: the npm launcher's native-runtime downloader now caps compressed archive downloads and removes partial files on failure. It is a conventional commit title in plain language. The objectives note that the commit messages mention a 256 MiB limit while the PR description and review comment specify 128 MiB. That mismatch concerns the limit value, not the title's accuracy.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description covers the problem, change, scope, verification, size cap, partial-file cleanup, and maintainer decision. It also names the agent model and harness. However, the scope does not link the issue, and the description conflicts with the PR objectives about whether the cap is 128 MiB or 256 MiB.

Verified bdc1dfb8e2906d84dc22c2aa534a0d9bda059bc3 on Linux with the actual npm launcher entry point and real release archive, plus the running dev web client and Codex gpt-6.1-sol.
Reproduced on github/main (575579d68a): a chunked HTTP response containing two copies of the actual v0.1.6 Linux x64 archive transferred 246,305,096 bytes before checksum rejection.
The PR rejects both oversized declared length and chunked overflow with download exceeds 134217728-byte limit. Syscall tracing recorded 134,133,632 archive bytes written for chunked overflow, below the ceiling. The partial archive was unlinked and neither failure published a runtime.
The normal 123,152,548-byte GitHub release passed its published checksum, extracted, and executed the real native binary: t3 v0.1.6, exit 0. Cached startup worked with the release endpoint unavailable. A fresh install retained the missing-release error.
Started the exact PR source with explicit isolated dev state. Used repository Playwright and /usr/bin/google-chrome to add a real git project, choose gpt-6.1-sol, and send a real provider turn. The client displayed the provider reading the exact PR HEAD and completing successfully.
Blacksmith passed the existing launcher test and check:changed against the PR base: formatting, lint, knip, affected typecheck and launcher test. Hosted checks were green at this head. No source changes or pushes were needed.
The overflow input was fault injection through a real HTTP release relay serving the actual archive bytes, with unchanged production limits and launcher source. Normal download verification used the real release and executable. Source dev startup and npm download verification are separate paths; starting dev alone would not exercise this fix.
Native macOS, Windows, ARM64, desktop shell and iOS/Android clients were not exercised on this Linux x64 VM. Short filesystem writes, replacement-path races and hostile shared staging directories were not runtime-injected. No UI behavior changed, so the downloader proof is the command transcript rather than visual before/after captures.
This case has an oversized Content-Length, so download rejects it before reaching the chunk-size check. If that check is removed, this case still passes. Extend the existing fixture with a response that has no Content-Length and streams more than 128 MiB. Assert the size-limit error so the test detects that regression. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Problem
The npm launcher's native-runtime downloader writes response chunks until the response ends. A missing or incorrect Content-Length can let one compressed archive fill the disk before checksum verification.
Change
Bound each archive download to 256 MiB (268,435,456 bytes). Reject an oversized declared length before creating the destination, and check actual chunks against the remaining allowance before writing. Complete short writes, count written bytes, abort on failure and close the file. Partial-file cleanup keeps the existing nonfollowing BigInt device/inode check; this is not atomic and still requires the installer's private staging directory. Checksum verification, transient HTTP retries, runtime validation, caching and atomic publication remain intact.
The full contribution is two files: launcher and its existing real-HTTP installer test. This bounds compressed archive-file bytes only. Expanded archives, metadata, concurrent installs, retained runtimes and other installer costs remain outside this limit.
Size policy and maintainer decision
The old 128 MiB proposal is already below supported release assets. Stable v0.1.9 Linux x64 is 149,119,656 bytes; the latest nightly inspected by review is 182,914,935 bytes. A 256 MiB ceiling leaves roughly 85.5 MB (81.6 MiB) above that nightly. Recent Linux x64 archives grew from about 96.7 MB to 182.9 MB in 17 days, so that headroom is not a long-term guarantee.
A future release above the cap needs an explicit limit change or fresh npm installs of that version will fail. The release pipeline does not currently compare real asset sizes with this cap. Maintainers still need to approve the fixed ceiling and decide whether a release-size gate belongs in separate work. This PR adds no configuration or release framework.
