Waleed 10878fbde5 fix(utils): drop the .js specifiers Turbopack cannot resolve (#6351)
* fix(utils): drop the .js specifiers Turbopack cannot resolve

Every dev server on staging is currently returning 500 from any route whose module
graph reaches the `@sim/utils` barrel:

  Module not found: Can't resolve './errors.js'
  > 1 | export { getErrorMessage, getPostgresErrorCode, toError } from './errors.js'

  Import trace:
    ./packages/utils/src/index.ts
    ./apps/sim/lib/embeddings/client.ts
    ./apps/sim/lib/knowledge/embeddings.ts
    ./apps/sim/app/api/knowledge/route.ts

`packages/utils/src/index.ts` addresses its siblings as `./errors.js` while the files
are `./errors.ts`. webpack rewrites that through `resolve.extensionAlias`; Turbopack has
no equivalent (vercel/next.js#82945). `next build` is webpack and `next dev` is
Turbopack, so this passes CI and breaks every local dev server — #6317 went green.

Nothing required the extensions: the repo is on `moduleResolution: "bundler"`, and no
other package barrel uses them.

Two changes, either of which fixes the symptom; both are here because they fail
differently:

- `packages/utils/src/index.ts` drops all 12 `.js` specifiers. Fixes the barrel for
  every current and future consumer.
- `apps/sim/lib/embeddings/client.ts` imports `chunkArray` from `@sim/utils/helpers`
  rather than the barrel. #6317 added the only bare-barrel `@sim/utils` import in the
  monorepo; the subpath form is the documented convention (CLAUDE.md, "Common
  Utilities") and resolves to one module instead of pulling twelve.

`scripts/check-import-specifiers.ts` fails the build on either shape and runs in CI.
Verified it goes red by restoring both halves of the bug. It scans only bundler-compiled
source — vitest and standalone `bun run` scripts resolve `.js` -> `.ts` themselves, so
flagging their specifiers would be noise.

Verified against a real dev server with production env: `/api/knowledge`,
`/api/tools/embeddings` and `/api/workflows/[id]/deploy` all go 500 -> 401, `/workspace`
renders, and the Turbopack log is free of resolution errors. `tsc --noEmit` clean,
`packages/utils` 147/147.

* refactor(scripts): resolve specifiers instead of pattern-matching one mistake

The first version banned `.js` specifiers by regex, which catches the bug that happened
and nothing adjacent to it. This runs the actual resolution algorithm with Turbopack's
rules — extensionAlias deliberately absent — and fails on anything that does not land on
a real file.

That covers the whole "Module not found" class rather than one shape of it: `.js`
specifiers, typo'd paths, files moved or deleted with a stale importer left behind, `@/`
aliases pointing nowhere, and `@sim/*` subpaths a package does not export. Verified
against three synthetic breakages the regex version passed clean:

    '@/lib/webhooks/providerz'  — '@/' alias matches a tsconfig path but nothing is there
    './does-not-exist'          — no file at that path
    '@sim/utils/chunking'       — @sim/utils does not export './chunking'

Getting to zero false positives on 37,307 specifiers needed three things the naive
version got wrong:

- tsconfig `paths` are per-workspace. `@/*` is `apps/sim/*` inside apps/sim but
  `apps/realtime/src/*` inside apps/realtime, and apps/sim maps `@sim/db/*` straight at
  the package directory, legitimately bypassing that package's exports map. One
  hardcoded alias produced ~30 false positives in apps/realtime alone.
- `exports` maps have wildcards. `@sim/emcn` publishes `"./*": "./src/*"`, so
  `@sim/emcn/components/code/code.css` is valid despite no literal entry.
- TSDoc contains example imports. `packages/db/triggers.ts` documents
  `import { ensureRowCountTriggers } from '@sim/db/triggers'` — a subpath the package
  deliberately does not export. Comments are now blanked in place, preserving byte
  offsets so reported line numbers stay exact.

* fix(scripts): close three coverage gaps in the specifier audit

Review round 1 on #6351. All three findings were real and all three let the exact
regression this guard exists for slip through.

- Reported line numbers were one early. `SPECIFIER_RE` opens with `(?:^|\n)`, so
  `m.index` is the newline ENDING the previous line, not the start of the statement.
  `./helpers.js` on line 13 was reported as line 12. Anchoring to the specifier's own
  offset is exact, and for a multi-line import it points at the `from '...'` line —
  where the reader needs to look anyway.

- `require()` was not scanned. This repo uses lazy requires deliberately to break import
  cycles: `tools/params.ts` reaches `@/blocks` that way and `blocks/blocks/agent.ts`
  reaches `@/blocks/registry`, 22 first-party call sites in total. Those edges resolve
  exactly like static ones, so a bad specifier in one fails identically. Verified by
  pointing `tools/params.ts` at a non-existent module and watching the audit catch it.

- `apps/docs` was not scanned, despite being a second Next.js app with its own
  `next.config.ts` — so it carries identical Turbopack exposure. Now covered, and clean.

Side-effect imports and dynamic `import()` were called out in the same round but are
already covered: the optional `from` group in `SPECIFIER_RE` matches bare `import '...'`,
and `DYNAMIC_RE` handles `import('...')`. That review ran against 1c6073e0, before the
resolver rewrite.

Coverage goes from 37,307 specifiers across 11,182 files to 37,438 across 11,243, still
with zero violations.

* chore(tools): regenerate the stale tool metadata

`bun run tool-metadata:check` has been failing on staging since #6317, so every PR
branched off it inherits a red CI regardless of its own contents. Reproduced against a
clean `origin/staging` to confirm it is not this branch's doing.

#6317 rewrote the embeddings tools' `apiKey` descriptions from provider-specific strings
to one generic string in `tools/embeddings/factory.ts`, but did not regenerate
`tools/generated/tool-metadata.ts`. The whole delta is 89 bytes of description text — the
tool set is unchanged at 4380 ids, none added, none removed:

    - "description":"Cohere Embeddings API key"
    + "description":"API key for the selected embedding provider"

The old strings no longer exist anywhere in source, so the generated file was the stale
side. `tool-metadata:check` passes after regenerating, and the generator's own resolver
cross-check agrees.

`mship:check` and `mship-tools:check` also fail locally, but neither is a CI gate and both
fail only because they read contracts from the sibling copilot repo, which is not checked
out here. Left alone.

* fix(scripts): substitute every wildcard in a resolved target

CodeQL js/incomplete-sanitization, two instances, both correct.

`String.replace('*', x)` fills only the first occurrence. Node's `exports`
resolver uses a global regex, so a target carrying more than one `*` — e.g.
`"./src/*/index-*.ts"` — gets every occurrence substituted. Replacing only the
first leaves a literal `*` in the path, so `probe()` finds nothing and the audit
reports a perfectly valid subpath as missing.

TypeScript `paths` allows at most one `*`, so the tsconfig branch was already
correct in practice; it changes for consistency and because nothing enforces that
assumption.

Not a suppression — the resolver now matches Node's behaviour. 37,438 specifiers
still resolve clean.

* fix(scripts): do not assert on generated output in the specifier audit

CI red on a fresh checkout, green locally — the tell that the audit was
depending on build state rather than on source.

apps/docs/lib/source.ts imports '@/.source/server'. apps/docs maps '@/.source/*'
at './.source/*', which fumadocs-mdx generates and apps/docs/.gitignore excludes.
It exists on any machine that has built the docs and is absent from CI's
checkout, so the audit reported a valid import as unresolvable.

A path landing in output the scanner itself refuses to read as source —
node_modules, a build directory, any dot-directory — is now treated as
unverifiable rather than missing. That is the consistent rule: if we do not scan
it as source, we cannot assert on its presence, and asserting anyway makes the
verdict depend on build order. Applied to all three resolution paths (relative,
tsconfig paths, exports map), with a GENERATED sentinel keeping 'matched but
generated' distinct from 'matched and genuinely missing'.

Only the repo-relative portion is inspected. Checking the absolute path would
match the '.claude/worktrees/...' a git worktree lives under and silently skip
every specifier in the repo.

Verified both directions: passes with apps/docs/.source moved away (CI's state),
and still catches a require('@/blocks/still-not-real') planted in tools/params.ts.

* refactor(scripts): trim the specifier audit's comments

The audit shipped at 24% comment lines — the header alone retold the whole
incident. Cut to 15% (452 -> 401 lines) by collapsing the narrative and keeping
only what the code cannot say: the webpack/Turbopack extensionAlias divergence,
why '.js' is a probed extension but not a fallback, why paths resolve
per-workspace, why targets substitute with replaceAll, why generated output is
unverifiable, and the '.claude/' worktree trap in the relative-path check.

No behaviour change: 37,437 specifiers still resolve clean.

Sim.ai Documentation Slack X

Ask DeepWiki Set Up with Cursor

Sim — Integrate, Context, Build, and Monitor AI agents

A workspace to build, deploy and manage AI agents and workflows.

Quickstart

Cloud-hosted: sim.ai

Open sim.ai

Self-hosted

git clone https://github.com/simstudioai/sim.git && cd sim
bun install
bun run setup

Open http://localhost:3000

The Sim platform — chat on the left, the visual workflow builder on the right

Capabilities

  • Connect 1,000+ integrations and every major LLM
  • Add Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, databases, and more
  • Build agents visually, conversationally, or with code
  • Ingest files, knowledge bases, and structured table data
  • Monitor runs, logs, schedules, and workflow activity

One workspace, every surface

Chat and workflows are just the start — tables, files, and knowledge all live in the same workspace.

Tables in Sim — structured data your agents can query

Tables — a database, built in

Files in Sim — documents for your team and every agent

Files — one store for your team and every agent

Knowledge bases in Sim — synced docs your agents can search

Knowledge — your agents' memory

Self-hosting

Requirements: Bun and Docker.

bun run setup is an interactive wizard: it provisions the database, generates secrets, writes your .env files, connects a Chat API key, and starts Sim the way you choose:

  • Local dev — run from source to contribute or hack on Sim
  • Docker Compose — a self-contained instance for testing self-hosting
  • Kubernetes (Helm) — deploy to a local cluster

When it finishes, open http://localhost:3000.

Reconfigure an optional capability without rerunning the full wizard:

bun run setup status
bun run setup email
bun run setup storage
bun run setup sandbox
bun run setup jobs
bun run setup cache
bun run setup knowledge
bun run setup llm
bun run setup integration slack

bun run setup status detects the effective local-dev, Docker Compose, or current-context Helm configuration and reports configured, missing, or invalid capabilities and OAuth integrations without printing credential values. This is separate from bun run sim status, which reports whether installed services are running and healthy.

Manage your install with bun run sim:

bun run sim start | stop | restart   # bring your install up / down / cycle
bun run sim status                    # what's installed and healthy
bun run sim logs                      # follow logs
bun run sim doctor                    # diagnose configuration problems
bun run sim down                      # remove containers (data kept)
bun run sim reset                     # archive .env and wipe managed data

sim detects how you're running (Docker Compose, local dev, or Kubernetes) and acts accordingly.

Prefer a bare sim? Run bun link once — but note sim lands in ~/.bun/bin, which Homebrew's bun doesn't add to your PATH, so you may need export PATH="$HOME/.bun/bin:$PATH" in your shell profile.

Sim also supports local models via Ollama and vLLM. See the self-hosting docs for details.

Chat API Keys

Chat is a Sim-managed service. bun run setup connects a Chat API key for you — sign in when it opens your browser and the key is stored automatically. To view, create, or revoke keys later, go to sim.ai/selfhost/settings/chat-keys.

Environment Variables

See the environment variables reference for the full list, or apps/sim/.env.example for defaults.
