Closes LAB-413.

Problem

encodeMapEntries materialised every utf8Strict key encoding (N Uint8Array allocations) and ran the full byte-order sort before encodeMapHeader's collection-size cap fired — and the key-encoding phase never passes through pushChunk, so the byte budget gave no backstop during that phase either. CWE-770/CWE-400, availability-only, args-profile reachable when a @cache-wrapped function takes a request-derived map/object argument. Filed by the LAB-375 panel as the map/object twin of the Set fix in #72.

Fix

  • checkCollectionSize(entries.length, 'map') as the first statement of encodeMapEntries — before any key is UTF-8-encoded or sorted. Map keys are unique by construction (unlike Sets, no dedupe can shrink the count), so the up-front check has identical accept/reject semantics to the old post-sort check.
  • The Map branch additionally pre-checks the O(1) .size so an over-cap Map is rejected before its entry tuples are even built.
  • encodeMapHeader's own check stays as the emitter backstop, symmetric with encodeArrayHeader.

Byte invariance

Canonical output is unchanged for every accepted input — the new checks are throw-only. All interop/v1 protocol vectors pass byte-for-byte (test/protocol/ interop-mode, key-generation, serialization, cross-sdk suites green).

Regression tests (mirroring the #72 spy pattern)

  • Iterator spy proves an over-cap Map is never iterated (iterated === 0).
  • Lone-surrogate first key proves the cap wins against utf8Strict on plain objects (ValueTooLargeError, not the well-formedness SerializationError), with an under-cap control proving the spy key is live.
  • At-cap (10,000) Map accepted with Map/object byte-identity.

Both timing tests fail on the parent commit and pass with the fix.

Expert panel (mandatory crypto/protocol gate)

Ran pre-PR at high stakes: bug-hunter, security-specialist, code-craftsman — no findings (byte-invariance, error-precedence, and test validity each independently verified; must-error vectors are error-class-agnostic, so the precedence flip on pathological over-cap inputs changes no control flow). catchphrase-agent proposed cutting the Map-branch .size pre-check + its spy test — rejected with craftsman/security backing (O(1) rejection before 10k+ tuple materialisation; mirrors the established pre-check + emitter-backstop layering). Its uncontested cut (a redundant smoke assertion subsumed by the byte-identity check) was applied.

Note: local full-suite has 16 pre-existing failures from the stale 0.1.2 NAPI prebuilt vs 0.1.3 crate source (keyring-rotation/wire pack paths) — verified identical on the parent commit; CI builds the crate and is unaffected.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved collection-size limit enforcement during serialization.
    • Oversized maps and objects are now rejected before unnecessary processing.
    • Preserved validation for invalid text values within supported collection limits.
    • Confirmed equivalent output for maps and objects at the maximum allowed size.

…lisation (LAB-413)

encodeMapEntries materialised every utf8Strict key encoding and ran the
full byte-order sort before encodeMapHeader's collection-size cap fired,
and the key-encoding phase never passes through pushChunk, so the byte
budget gave no backstop either (CWE-770/CWE-400, availability-only,
args-profile reachable via request-derived map/object arguments).

Map keys are unique by construction — unlike Sets (PR #72), no dedupe
can shrink the count — so a single up-front checkCollectionSize on
entries.length has identical accept/reject semantics and unchanged
canonical bytes for every accepted input. The Map branch additionally
pre-checks the O(1) .size so an over-cap Map is rejected before its
entry tuples are built at all.

Regression tests pin the ordering: an iterator spy proves an over-cap
Map is never iterated, and a lone-surrogate first key proves the cap
wins against utf8Strict on plain objects.

Walkthrough

encodeMapEntries now checks collection size before processing map or object entries. Tests cover over-cap rejection, bounded property access, under-cap key validation, and exact-cap encoding equivalence.

Changes

Collection-cap enforcement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pre-flight collection validation and coverage
packages/cachekit/src/serialization/interop.ts, packages/cachekit/src/serialization/interop.test.ts
encodeMapEntries rejects over-cap collections before key encoding, allocation, sorting, iteration, or property access beyond the cap. Tests cover Map and object limits, under-cap validation, bounded getter access, and byte equivalence at the cap.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 48204

The change correctly rejects ordinary over-limit maps and objects early, but custom Map subclasses or Proxy-backed objects can still bypass that protection and consume excessive resources during serialization. This should be resolved before merge.

…ies (LAB-413)

CodeRabbit on #113: the plain-object branch handed Object.entries(v) to
encodeMapEntries, so an over-cap object still allocated one [key, value]
tuple per property before the collection cap fired. The Map branch got
an O(1) .size pre-check in the same PR; plain objects had nothing
equivalent.

Pre-check checkCollectionSize(Object.keys(v).length, 'map') before the
emitter call. Object.keys is the cheapest own-enumerable count V8 offers
(one pointer array); a bounded for...in is no better because
ForInPrepare snapshots the same key list up front. Measured on a 2M-key
object: transient allocation drops ~7x and the reject path is ~4x
faster, with no value read or tuple built past the cap. Throw-only: the
Object.entries emitter call is unchanged, so canonical bytes for every
accepted input are unchanged by construction.

Regression test: a getter spy as the (cap+1)th key proves nothing past
the cap is read (fails on the parent, where Object.entries invokes it),
with an at-cap control proving the spy is live.

466-466: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the collection-size check coupled to the entries that encodeCanonical consumes.

The v instanceof Map branch accepts subclasses. A subclass can report an in-limit size but override [Symbol.iterator] to yield more than DEFAULT_MAX_COLLECTION_SIZE entries. The branch materialises those entries before encodeMapEntries checks them. An unbounded iterator can prevent that check from running. Read the intrinsic Map.prototype.size getter and iterate with Map.prototype.entries.call(v), or reject non-native Map instances.

isPlainObject(v) accepts a Proxy that reports Object.prototype. Separate Object.keys(v) and Object.entries(v) calls can observe different key sets. The second call can therefore materialise and read an over-cap object before encodeMapEntries rejects it. Reuse one Object.keys(v) snapshot when building the entries.

Add regression tests for both cases.

The encodeMapHeader emitter backstop and the encodeMapEntries shared
