Stack 2 of 2, based on #942 (perf/1.10.x-protocol-client-subpath). Merge in order.

Closes #885.

What and why

#885 asked for @enclave-vm/ast's JavaScript parser to stay out of browser bundles. #921 did that: @frontmcp/utils imports @enclave-vm/ast/redos, which loads none of the parser, and the bundle of create() + one tool has no acorn, acorn-walk or astring file, only @enclave-vm/ast/esm/redos.mjs (7 KB). What was left was the issue's acceptance criteria, which this PR covers in apps/e2e/demo-e2e-bundle-size/e2e/browser-bundle-size.e2e.spec.ts:

Results

Apple M4 Pro (14 cores, 48 GiB), macOS 15.6.1, Node.js 24.18.1. The sizes are the suite's own output, from the packages built from this branch. Bytes are exact, so no load average applies.

Size Old budget New budget
create() + one tool, esbuild, minified 1,300,483 bytes 1,560,000 1,315,000
create() + WebMcpPlugin + one tool, esbuild, minified 1,307,783 bytes 1,570,000 1,322,000
create() + one tool, Vite, initial chunk 948,317 bytes 1,180,000 960,000

Tests

  • nx run demo-e2e-bundle-size:test: 10 tests pass (8 before, plus the new test for each of the two bundles), and typecheck-e2e passes.
  • With @frontmcp/protocol's root re-export of the client put back into libs/protocol/dist/esm/index.mjs, the state before perf(protocol): serve the MCP client and its transports from @frontmcp/protocol/client #942, the new test fails for both bundles and names the MCP client modules, so it catches that regression.
  • The new patterns match node_modules/acorn/dist/acorn.mjs, node_modules/acorn-walk/dist/walk.mjs, astring under @enclave-vm/ast, the MCP SDK's dist/esm/client/*.js and libs/protocol/dist/esm/client.mjs and clients.mjs, and don't match @enclave-vm/ast/esm/redos.mjs or the MCP SDK's server modules.
  • Prettier on the changed file passes.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Tightened browser bundle-size budgets to help keep application downloads smaller.
    • Added checks to detect unintended inclusion of parser and MCP client code in browser bundles.
    • Improved reporting for identifying the source of unexpected bundle inclusions.
    • Expanded path handling to improve accuracy when validating excluded modules.

📝 Walkthrough

The browser bundle size test lowers browser-entry and Vite initial-chunk budgets. It adds checks for JavaScript parser and MCP client leaks, reports import chains, and expands skill dependency path matching.

Changes: Browser bundle size checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Bundle budgets and exclusions
apps/e2e/demo-e2e-bundle-size/e2e/browser-bundle-size.e2e.spec.ts
The test lowers browser-entry budgets to 1,315,000 and 1,322,000 bytes and the Vite initial-chunk budget to 960,000 bytes. It adds exclusion patterns for JavaScript parser and MCP client modules. The skill dependency pattern matches root-relative and nested node_modules paths. A parameterized test checks each configured bundle and asserts empty leak and import-chain results.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description includes the required What and why and Tests sections. It explains the budget changes, exclusion checks, results, regression coverage, and formatting checks. The User-facing change section is not needed for this test-only change.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #885 requires acorn and astring to remain out of the create() bundle and requires a lower matching budget. The PR lowers the budgets and adds NEVER_BUNDLED checks for acorn, acorn-walk, and astring in both browser bundles. The supplied change summary states that the whole PR changes only the bundle-size E2E test, so safe-regex behavior and its tests remain unchanged.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain in browser-bundle-size.e2e.spec.ts. The MCP client checks extend browser bundle dependency validation, and the js-yaml and vectoriadb pattern correction fixes the existing feature-leak check. These changes support bundle-size and dependency-exclusion validation and show no unrelated product behavior.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 1 files.

… parser and the MCP client out

#921 took @enclave-vm/ast's parser (acorn, acorn-walk, astring) out of every
browser bundle, and #886 the MCP client, but the suite's budgets still allowed
1.56 MB and 1.57 MB for create() + one tool (+ WebMcpPlugin) and 1.18 MB for a
Vite app's initial chunk.

The budgets now sit about 1% above the current sizes (1,300,483, 1,307,783 and
948,317 bytes), and a new test fails when the parser or the MCP client's
modules contribute any bytes to either bundle, naming the import chain. The
skills pattern's node_modules alternative is anchored like the inputs it
matches, which are relative to the workspace root.

…lient, and tighter bundle-size budgets (#942, #943) (#947)

* perf(protocol): serve the MCP client and its transports from @frontmcp/protocol/client (#942)

The package root re-exported #client, so every importer of @frontmcp/protocol
pulled in the MCP SDK's client modules: a browser or Worker bundle of a server
kept shared/auth.js's OAuth schemas and the client modules' side effects even
though an in-process server never builds a client.

The client, its Streamable HTTP and SSE transports and the stdio client now
come from the @frontmcp/protocol/client subpath, which re-exports #client and
so keeps its lazy require() variant. The direct client, the remote-MCP client
service, @frontmcp/testing's raw client and the tests import them from there.

@frontmcp/protocol/client resolves to libs/protocol/dist/esm/clients.mjs, so
the never-bundled pattern matches it as well as #client's client.mjs.
