Summary

  • Add comprehensive stress tests validating performance with large files (1MB+, 100K lines), pathological wildcard patterns, and bulk URL checking (10K URLs)
  • Document production usage guidance including file size limits (500 KiB per RFC 9309) and timeout recommendations
  • Document Google-specific behaviors vs RFC 9309 standard (line length limits, typo tolerance, index.html normalization)
  • Add prettier with tabs configuration and format script
  • Improve JSDoc documentation for URL handling methods with graceful error handling notes
  • Remove unused index.ts hello world file

Test plan

  • Run bun test to verify all tests pass including new stress tests
  • Verify stress tests complete within time limits
  • Run bun run format to verify prettier works

- Add stress tests for large files, pathological patterns, and bulk URL checking
- Document production usage guidance (file size limits, timeouts)
- Document Google-specific behaviors vs RFC 9309
- Add prettier with tabs configuration
- Improve JSDoc for URL handling methods
- Update test documentation with new test counts
- Remove unused index.ts

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR enhances the robots.txt parser library with production-ready features and comprehensive testing. The changes add stress tests validating performance under extreme conditions (1MB+ files, 100K lines, pathological wildcard patterns), document production safeguards (file size limits per RFC 9309, timeout recommendations), and clarify Google-specific behaviors vs RFC 9309 standard.

Key improvements:

  • 10 new stress tests covering large file handling, pathological pattern matching, and bulk URL checking (10K URLs)
  • Production usage documentation with code examples for file size validation (500 KiB limit per RFC 9309)
  • Google-specific behavior comparison table (line length limits, typo tolerance, index.html normalization)
  • Enhanced JSDoc comments explaining graceful error handling for malformed URLs
  • Prettier configuration with tabs formatting
  • Removed unused index.ts hello world file

All tests pass successfully and the code maintains the existing architecture while improving documentation and testing coverage.

Confidence Score: 5/5

  • This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
  • All changes are additive (tests, documentation, tooling) with no modifications to core parsing logic. Stress tests validate performance characteristics, JSDoc improvements clarify existing behavior, and the production documentation helps users implement proper safeguards. All tests pass successfully.
  • No files require special attention

style: String concatenation in a tight loop - inefficient for building large strings

Suggested change
const rule = "Disallow: /path/to/some/resource/\n";
while (content.length < 1_000_000) {
content += rule;
}
// Generate ~1MB of valid robots.txt content
const rule = "Disallow: /path/to/some/resource/\n";
const rulesNeeded = Math.ceil(1_000_000 / rule.length);
const content = "User-agent: *\n" + rule.repeat(rulesNeeded);
