@trevor-e - I'm not necessarily asking for a code review but the approach Jared has taken here explained in the PR description. That said a cursory glance over the code would also be appreciated. |
A node with N keys has N+1 children. The previous loop only followed `count` children and dropped the last one on branch nodes, so multi-level trees would miss renditions. The synthetic tests only exercised single-level trees, so the bug wasn't caught. Fixes the sentry[bot] review on #1469.
|
Jared, resume this PR. Address the active high-severity B-tree child traversal finding with a regression fixture/test, then run the relevant checks, self-review, and re-request review. |

We need real pixel extraction so that our image optimization insight can detect compression/minification opportunities.
|
Jared, resume work on this PR and get us the updates please. |
|
Pixel extraction still requires the private macOS CoreUI framework (the reason the legacy Rust path was dropped). The current change delivers the cross-platform size/geometry manifest that unblocks preprod analysis; full pixel decoding would re-introduce the Apple-Silicon-only gate. If we need the optimization-insight path, that has to be a follow-up macOS-only binary or a separate service. Shall I keep the current scope or open a new issue for the pixel work? |
This is fine. We should be able to do an Apple-Silicon-only native asset for that specific binary release |

pushed the real CoreUI pixel extraction in 1274bd4. what landed:
one thing i can't do myself: i also have a CI change ready to build if [[ "${{ github.event_name }}" == "pull_request" ]]; then
# PRs build linux-x64 (smoke test + e2e) and darwin-arm64. The
# darwin-arm64 build runs natively on macOS so the CoreUI-based
# Assets.car pixel extractor is compiled and exercised on PRs, not
# just on main/release.
echo '{"include":[
{"target":"linux-x64", "os":"ubuntu-latest", "can-test":true},
{"target":"darwin-arm64", "os":"macos-latest", "can-test":true}
]}'until that's in, the decoder only builds on the main/release macOS runner. i'll hold the review ping to @trevor-e until we've got a green darwin-arm64 build actually exercising extraction. |

Jared, added that line to ci.yml, you should be able to get it with a rebase |
Parse iOS `Assets.car` asset catalogs into a per-rendition size manifest (`ParsedAssets/.../Assets.json`) during `build upload`, so preprod size analysis gets a per-asset breakdown instead of only the raw `.car`. The legacy CLI needed native macOS CoreUI to decode pixels, which gated iOS upload to Apple Silicon. Instead we read the `.car` BOM container in pure TypeScript to enumerate each rendition's size and geometry — no native dependency, works on every platform. The raw `.car` is still uploaded alongside the manifest; pixel extraction remains out of scope. Fixes #1429

Adds real pixel extraction for iOS asset catalogs, requested on the PR: the size/geometry manifest alone can't drive image-optimization insights. Decoding needs Apple's private CoreUI framework, so it ships as an Apple-Silicon-only native helper (native/car-extract, Swift) embedded in the darwin-arm64 SEA binary and run at upload time. On every other platform (or if the helper is unavailable) the CLI falls back to the existing pure-TS size manifest with no decoded images — extraction is strictly additive and never blocks an upload. - native/car-extract: swiftc-compiled CoreUI decoder (car → PNGs + JSON) - script/build.ts: compile + embed the helper as a SEA asset (arm64 only) - asset-catalog-extract.ts: runtime glue (extract asset, exec, fold in) - index.ts: emit decoded PNGs under ParsedAssets/.../images/ and record them in the manifest - docs + command help updated Note: a companion CI change (build darwin-arm64 on PRs so extraction is exercised pre-merge) needs to be applied by a maintainer — the app token lacks workflow write permission.

Compiles the Swift helper with swiftc, builds a real Assets.car from an .xcassets fixture via actool, runs the helper, and asserts real PNGs come out with correct geometry and PNG magic. Gated to macOS with the Xcode CLI tools (actool/swiftc) via describe.skipIf, so it runs on the darwin-arm64 CI runner and skips elsewhere. This exercises real CoreUI pixel decoding end to end rather than the mocked unit path.

Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 04451a0. Configure here.
Addresses Cursor Bugbot findings on the pixel-extraction path: - car-extract never loaded CoreUI: NSClassFromString only finds classes already registered in the process, and the private framework is neither linked nor dlopened, so the lookup returned nil and extraction always fell back. dlopen the CoreUI framework before resolving CUICatalog. - integration test always skipped: actool lives inside Xcode and isn't on PATH, so the bare invocation failed the toolchain check and skipIf skipped forever. Locate it with and run it as . - helper path broke after chdir restore: buildCarExtract returns a package-relative path, but cwd is restored before it runs. Resolve the returned path against the package root so execFileSync finds the binary.

fix-ci: attempt 1 — E2E failure is the |
The bundle beforeAll hook spawns a full `pnpm run bundle` (redundant generate:docs + generate:sdk + esbuild). On a cold CI runner that takes ~62s, past the 60s hook timeout, so the E2E bundle/library suites intermittently failed with "Bundle not built". Raise the hook timeout to 120s and the cross-worker wait deadline to 110s to match the real worst-case build cost.

fix-ci: attempt 1 (cont.) — the re-run reproduced the same E2E failure, so it wasn't a one-off flake: the |
mkdtempSync ran before the try block, so if it threw (ENOSPC, bad TMPDIR, permissions) the exception escaped extractAssetCatalogImages — breaking its documented "never throws" contract and risking a crash in build upload — and the helper's own SEA temp dir leaked because the finally never ran. Move the work-dir creation inside the try and guard its cleanup with an undefined check. Add a unit test that makes mkdtempSync fail and asserts extraction returns null without throwing.

There are still breaking/incompatible changes with the previous sentry-cli version, I called out a few of them.
I'm confused in general on a couple things:
- why is this taking a different approach than the
sentry-cliimplementation? why not just 1:1 port it over? - how is this being E2E tested? the
sentry-cliversion has some real xcarchive files (w/ anAsset.carinside) included to use as fixtures, which I don't see copied over to here. afaict this will immediately fail on a real file and the existing tests are only using mock data.

nit: this relative path could bite us later on compared to something like NATIVE_SCRIPTS_DIR

Why doesn't this just copy over https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-cli/blob/c596fcddd616867b6c6cdfa11f9853dc889a585a/apple-catalog-parsing/native/swift/AssetCatalogParser/Sources/AssetCatalogParser/AssetCatalogReader.swift ? This version is still missing a ton of functionality.

For example this output format is still not compatible with what we need. https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-cli/blob/c596fcddd616867b6c6cdfa11f9853dc889a585a/apple-catalog-parsing/native/swift/AssetCatalogParser/Sources/AssetCatalogParser/AssetCatalogReader.swift#L27-L46

This names the file wrong and will break our node association.

We intentionally chose to not reverse engineer the asset catalog format since it's undocumented and we'd be on the hook if the format ever changed. Instead we went the private API route where we can at least depend on those APIs being unlikely to ever change, and CoreUI can do the actual parsing.

build uploadskipped iOSAssets.carparsing, so preprod size analysis only saw the raw.carinstead of a per-image breakdown — a ship-blocker.The legacy Rust CLI expanded
.carfiles via native macOS CoreUI, which gated iOS upload to Apple Silicon (the reason this CLI dropped it). Instead of decoding pixels, this reads the.carBOM container in pure TypeScript to enumerate each rendition's on-disk size and geometry, and emits a per-asset manifest atParsedAssets/.../Assets.jsonalongside the raw.car. No native dependency, works on every platform. Pixel extraction (which genuinely needs CoreUI) stays out of scope.Applies to both the XCArchive directory path and the IPA→XCArchive path. Parse failures are non-fatal: an unparseable
.caris carried through verbatim with no manifest.Testing
