refactor(worker): author the Worker in TypeScript - #57
Merged
Conversation
Cloudflare treats TypeScript as first-class for Workers and Wrangler
transpiles the entrypoint itself, so maintaining .js by hand bought
nothing.
The objection I expected to raise did not survive contact with evidence.
"The source you review is the bytes that run" was already false: wrangler
deploy --dry-run on the old JavaScript emits 13,090 bytes from a 20,955
byte source, comments stripped. The build step this change was supposed
to introduce already existed.
Be clear about what types do and do not buy here. NEITHER production
outage would have been caught by the compiler:
- `caches is not defined` typechecks fine — workers-types declares it
- `redirect: "error"` is valid RequestInit — only workerd rejects it
Both were runtime divergences from the type definitions. Comments at
both sites now say so, to stop a future reader trusting the compiler
where it has already failed. Types are a maintainability win, not a
security control.
Verified by execution rather than inspection:
- the 48-test suite passes against index.js AND index.ts
- tsc --noEmit clean under strict + noUncheckedIndexedAccess +
exactOptionalPropertyTypes
- bundle diff vs the JS baseline is only the changes made deliberately
Two of those bundle changes are behavioural, both strictly narrowing:
pins() now rejects a non-string `latest` outright, and readCapped()
skips an undefined chunk instead of throwing on it.
Couplings that a rename alone would have broken:
- gen-pins.sh rewrites PINS by text surgery, matching `^const PINS = {`
and `^};`. So PINS stays unannotated and DEFAULT_PINS on the next
line carries the type — the generator never touches it, and the
generated JSON is still checked against PinConfig at compile time.
- gen-pins.sh validated its rewrite with `node --check`, which does NOT
strip types on any extension (.mjs, .mts and .ts all reject it), so
that check would have failed every correct regeneration. Replaced
with a dynamic import, which strips types and is stronger anyway: it
proves the module parses AND evaluates.
- release.yml's `git add worker/src/index.js` would have staged nothing
on a deleted path, silently shipping a release bump PR with no pin
change at all.
- worker-live.yml imports the Worker in-process with no build step.
Node strips types natively from 23.6, so it still works — but Node is
now pinned via setup-node in both workflows rather than inherited
from the runner image.
worker-configuration.d.ts is deliberately not committed: this Worker has
no bindings, and typecheck plus dry-run both pass without its 555 KB of
declarations describing nothing.
devDependencies only, at exact versions. The deployed bundle is still
src/index.ts and nothing else — no third-party code reaches the endpoint
that serves install scripts.

zizmor flagged cache-poisoning on the setup-node steps and was right. v7 added package-manager-cache, which defaults to true and enables npm caching automatically when package.json names a package manager — so adding setup-node silently introduced a writable shared cache into the job that decides which bytes get pinned. Verified against the action.yml at the pinned SHA rather than assumed: 'Set to false to disable automatic caching. By default, caching is enabled when ... the top-level packageManager field in package.json specifies npm.' package-manager-cache: false turns it genuinely off. Not a suppression.

pins() checked only releases[latest], so a second release could ride
along in the same override with a commit nothing had verified to be a
40-hex SHA — i.e. possibly a branch or tag, which move. That contradicts
the rule stated above PINS: malformed input degrades to the known-good
inline pins, never to something less pinned.
Scope, stated precisely: content stayed verified throughout. Reverting
the fix and re-running the suite returns 502, not 200 with wrong bytes —
verifiedFetch still compared the fetched bytes against that release's
digest, so a mutable ref could not have smuggled code through. The gap
was that a half-formed override was accepted at all, one layer earlier
than the contract says it should be rejected.
Also fixed alongside it:
- releases[latest] was indexed without hasOwnProperty, so a `latest`
of "__proto__" reached Object.prototype and passed a truthiness test
- the validated config is now rebuilt from checked fields rather than
returning `parsed`, dropping unknown keys instead of carrying them
Five tests added, and verified to actually catch the regression: with
the old single-release check restored, "override with a non-SHA commit
is rejected wholesale" fails. A test that cannot fail proves nothing.
The JavaScript this file replaced had the identical gap; it was found
reviewing the TypeScript port.
Also: add resq-software/dotnet to the installer repo tables. It was
created 2026-08-14 and is public and non-fork, so repo-drift correctly
failed. Facts taken from the repo rather than guessed — .NET 9 pinned by
global.json, packages ResQ.BuildingBlocks Domain/Application/Adapters/
Testing. README's table updated too, per the sync note in both
installers.

Surveyed the org's TypeScript repo for anything reusable here.
Not reusable: its packages (@resq-systems/*) are runtime dependencies,
and this Worker deliberately ships none — the deployed bundle is
src/index.ts and nothing else. Its tsconfigs are no upgrade either; ours
is already stricter (noUncheckedIndexedAccess, exactOptionalPropertyTypes,
verbatimModuleSyntax), and there is no shared base package to extend —
the per-package copies have already drifted, with packages/security
turning strictNullChecks off.
Reusable: Biome. This repo lints shell and PowerShell but had nothing at
all for TypeScript. Pinned to 2.5.2, the same version npm's biome.json
pins, so the two repos report identical findings rather than a nearby
dialect.
It earned its place immediately — three real findings:
- three uses of Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call, now Object.hasOwn
(ES2022, and immune to a shadowed hasOwnProperty)
- two string concatenations onto template literals, in sha256sums and
manifest
Adopted WITHOUT the org's biome.json, deliberately and by measurement:
- its formatter strips the quotes from PINS keys ("latest": -> latest:).
bin/gen-pins.sh emits that block as JSON with quoted keys and rewrites
it on every --write, so formatter and generator would disagree
permanently and gen-pins --check would fail. Measured: 77 lines
rewritten, all of them that.
- its tab indentation reindents 799 of 625 lines, erasing git blame on
the trust anchor for no behavioural gain.
Biome's own defaults lint the source clean, so no config file is needed
to get the benefit — which also sidesteps both conflicts.
Verified: 53 tests pass, typecheck clean, npm run lint clean, and
gen-pins --write is still a no-op afterwards, confirming no fight between
generator and linter.

Findings 1-3 and 5 from review, each with a test verified to fail against
the original code (reintroduced all three in a scratch copy: 5 failures,
each naming its bug).
1. The top-level catch classified by request.url, not pathname. So
/install.ps1?v=1 does not end in ".ps1" and a PowerShell client was
handed a #!/bin/sh body; /install.sh?x=.json went the other way. That
catch exists precisely to keep HTML out of a pipe, so it now shares
one isShellPathname(pathname) helper with handle(). Classification
moved before the try, since the recovery path should not depend on
work that can itself throw; URL parse failure defaults to shell,
which is the harmless direction.
2. The 405 passed a hardcoded false, exempting itself from the rule that
shell routes get inert shell bodies. `curl -X POST .../install.sh|sh`
is a plausible typo. Now uses isShellPath.
3. DEFAULT_PINS was never runtime-validated: the 40-hex commit rule and
the "latest names a real release" rule applied only to the untrusted
override — backwards. Validation is now validatePinConfig(), exported
and run over the inline pins by CI.
Deliberately a test, not a module-scope assert: throwing during module
init takes the endpoint down, while a CI failure never deploys. The
risk is availability, not integrity — verifiedFetch compares bytes to
digests regardless, so a commit of "main" yields 502s, never wrong
bytes.
5. SHA256SUMS listed repo paths while routes are short names, so
`curl -O .../hooks.sh && sha256sum -c` failed on the filename for
everything except install.sh and install.ps1 — whose route and path
coincide, which is why the header example looked fine. Now keyed by
route; repo paths remain in manifest.json where they are
informational. Header recipe and README updated to match.
4 (contract): RESQ_PINS is a full, unreviewed bypass of "bumping the
installer is a deliberate, reviewable act" — anyone with a Worker
variable can supply arbitrary {commit, digest} pairs, internally
consistent and therefore passing verification against attacker-chosen
expectations. Documented as part of the trust anchor rather than left
implied. Nothing sets it today (no vars block, no workflow); it survives
only because tests use it to inject bad pins. Its original purpose is
obsolete now gen-pins.sh --write opens a PR. Removal is safe whenever
that testing use moves.
Nits: 304 now carries cache-control; If-None-Match parses weak tags,
lists and *; install-hooks.ps1 alias added; sha256sums comparator made
total; cache-read capped like the upstream read.
content-length: kept, but HEAD-only. It is genuinely useful there and a
length claim the runtime may re-encode is not worth making on GET.
Also, per review of resq-software/npm: Brand from @resq-systems/types,
imported type-only. Verified erased — zero occurrences of resq-systems
in the emitted bundle. Sha256Hex and CommitSha now make "this string was
validated" a thing the compiler tracks. The security package was
examined and rejected: crypto.ts needs node:crypto, absent in workerd,
and hash.ts is explicitly non-cryptographic. helpers pulls lodash.
77 tests (was 53), typecheck clean, biome clean, gen-pins round-trips.

9 tasks
zizmor/artipacked on release.yml. The bump job pushes, so it needs a credential — but persist-credentials writes the token into .git/config at checkout, where it then sits through gen-pins.sh --write (which runs node and sh) and through any step added later. The token outlived its purpose. Now persist-credentials: false, with the push step attaching a credentialed remote URL for exactly the fetch+push it performs. Same capability, a window measured in one step rather than the whole job. GH_TOKEN was already in that step's env. zizmor now reports no findings on this file.

Review caught a real overclaim I wrote. The text said the pinned digests 'travel with the deploy rather than with the response — so a tampering CDN cannot move them', in a section documenting how a *user* verifies a download. That conflates two different hops. The deploy-time digests defend the Worker->GitHub hop: a tampered raw.githubusercontent.com response is refused before it reaches anyone. True, and worth stating. But the documented recipe fetches SHA256SUMS and the artifact from the same origin. Anything able to alter one can serve a manifest agreeing with it, so the check detects truncation and transit corruption, not a compromised endpoint. Two files from one origin are one source. Now says exactly that, and points at #58 for the signature work that would give an anchor independent of us. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

.jsbought nothing.The objection I expected to make, and why it died
I was going to argue that TypeScript inserts a build step between the source we review (CODEOWNERS-gated) and the bytes that serve. Then I checked, and that was already false:
The build step already existed. Nothing about the trust model changes.
What types buy — and what they don't
Worth stating plainly, because it would be easy to oversell: neither production outage would have been caught by the compiler.
