Support parsing: legacy Bun binary lockfile (bun.lockb) #361

@mstykow

Description

@mstykow

Follow-up issue for legacy Bun binary lockfile support after text bun.lock parsing lands.

Current scope already covered separately:

  • text-based bun.lock parsing
  • Bun sibling assembly with package.json
  • Bun workspace lockfile hoisting for root lockfile dependencies

Remaining work:

  • investigate whether static parsing of bun.lockb is practical without invoking Bun
  • decide whether legacy bun.lockb should be parsed directly, partially recognized, or intentionally left as migration-only input
  • preserve parity expectations with Bun's official migration guidance and any remaining real-world legacy usage
