Fixes #11720.

Nightlies ≥ 1700 exit with code 1 before a window appears on Linux Wayland: #11410 inlined dbus-next into the main-process bundle, the bundler hoists its sax import into the entry chunk, and the lazy PortalCaptureShortcut/NiriCaptureShortcut chunk ends up with require("./main.cjs"). That chunk loads after Electron is ready on portal sessions, the entry re-evaluates top-level runMain, and protocol.registerSchemesAsPrivileged throws.

What changed:

  • dbus-next is back on DESKTOP_RUNTIME_EXTERNAL_PREFIXES, so it loads from node_modules like it did in 1687. The staged prod install carries it (plus its transitive closure) through the existing selectDesktopRuntimeExternalDependencies path, and the repo already patches out its usocket native dep.
  • The artifact build now also scans dist-electron/*.cjs with a desktop-externals predicate (new findInlinedDesktopExternalPackages) and fails the build on violations. The existing serverDist scan uses the CLI list, which does not know dbus-next, so this passed packaging silently.

Verification:

Muse Spark via opencode.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved desktop packaging to preserve required runtime components, including Linux desktop integration support.
    • Added validation to detect incorrectly bundled desktop dependencies during builds, helping prevent launch failures in Linux Wayland environments.
    • Desktop artifacts now fail early with clearer diagnostics when external packages are packaged incorrectly or cannot be validated.

🟡 Medium scripts/build-desktop-artifact.ts:3530

The assertion skips .cjs bundles in subdirectories, so an inline desktop-runtime external in workers such as electron/WindowsForegroundFocusWorker.cjs or snapShot/*.cjs passes validation and a broken packaged worker can ship. fs.readDirectory(distDirs.desktopDist) only returns direct entries; traverse dist-electron recursively or otherwise scan every emitted bundle file.

Approvability

Verdict: Would Approve

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a focused packaging regression fix that keeps dbus-next external and staged, with targeted tests and build-time validation for the existing Linux Wayland launch path. A medium-severity finding remains about validation not traversing nested bundles, but the change itself is otherwise limited and does not introduce new product capability or sensitive behavior.

Not approved because:

  • 1 blocking correctness issue found at or above your repo's Minimum Blocking Severity

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The desktop build now keeps dbus-next external, scans emitted desktop chunks for incorrectly inlined external packages, and fails when validation detects inlining or missing scan markers. Tests cover dependency selection, scanning, and staged macOS dependencies.

Changes

Desktop external dependency validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
External package rules and bundle scanning
scripts/lib/desktop-external-packages.ts, scripts/lib/desktop-external-packages.test.ts
dbus-next is classified as a desktop runtime external. findInlinedDesktopExternalPackages scans bundle region markers, reports package names, and returns sorted results and region counts. Tests cover package classification and scan behavior.
Artifact build enforcement and dependency staging
scripts/build-desktop-artifact.ts, scripts/build-desktop-artifact.test.ts
Desktop artifact builds validate emitted .cjs chunks. They report inlined external packages and reject bundles without scan regions. Tests verify dbus-next runtime selection and staged macOS dependencies.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a7dde

An unrelated dependency such as dbus-next-tools can make the desktop artifact build fail despite not being a prohibited bundled external. Add package-name boundary matching before merge.

🟡 Minor · Require a package-name boundary for exact package prefixes. · scripts/lib/desktop-external-packages.ts:36-36

36-36: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Require a package-name boundary for exact package prefixes.

Adding "dbus-next" makes isDesktopRuntimeExternalDependency("dbus-next-tools") return true. The scanner will then report an unrelated inlined package as a violation and fail the desktop artifact build. Match prefix exactly or as ${prefix}/; retain startsWith only for namespace prefixes such as "@yuuang/". Add a near-match test.

Proposed fix
 export function isDesktopRuntimeExternalDependency(id: string): boolean {
-  return DESKTOP_RUNTIME_EXTERNAL_PREFIXES.some((prefix) => id.startsWith(prefix));
+  return DESKTOP_RUNTIME_EXTERNAL_PREFIXES.some((prefix) =>
+    prefix.endsWith("/")
+      ? id.startsWith(prefix)
+      : id === prefix || id.startsWith(`${prefix}/`),
+  );
