Summary

  • encode Hash.digest("latin1" | "binary") as one same-valued JS code point per digest byte
  • apply the same lossless conversion to Hmac and crypto digest stream output
  • add a regression fixture covering Hash and Hmac with both encoding aliases

Why

The digest paths decoded arbitrary bytes as lossy UTF-8. Bytes above 0x7f became U+FFFD and adjacent invalid sequences could collapse, corrupting binary strings and sometimes changing their length. Mapping each byte directly to U+0000 through U+00FF matches Node's latin1 contract and round-trips through Buffer.from(value, "latin1").

Fixes #10473

Test plan

  • compile and run test-files/test_gap_10473_crypto_digest_latin1.ts with source-built, provenance-matched Perry archives; all four rows match Node 26 and round-trip to the exact digest bytes
  • RUST_TEST_THREADS=1 cargo test --profile perry-dev -p perry-stdlib crypto -- --nocapture (24 passed)
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • git diff --check
  • ./scripts/check_file_size.sh

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed Hash.digest() and Hmac.digest() when using "latin1" or "binary" encoding.
    • Digest values now preserve all bytes, including values above 0x7f, without replacement characters or length changes.
    • Latin-1 and binary digest results now round-trip correctly when converted back to buffers.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The crypto digest encoding paths now map each byte directly to a Latin-1 character for "latin1" and "binary" outputs. New tests verify hash and HMAC round-tripping through Buffer.from(value, "latin1").

The hash and HMAC digest paths replace lossy UTF-8 decoding with byte-to-Latin-1 conversion. Tests cover "latin1" and "binary" outputs for SHA-256 hashes and HMACs. The changelog documents byte preservation and round-tripping.

The production fix appears correct, but the regression test may not catch future corruption or length changes until its invariants are enforced.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The fixture does not assert its digest invariants.

report only prints the round-trip boolean, length, and first six character codes. It does not compare any value or length. An implementation that returns corrupted bytes or the wrong digest length can therefore pass unless the harness compares the complete console output against expected output. The fixture must assert the round-trip result and exact digest length, or the harness must compare expected output that includes those fields.

Landed on main in merge train 257 (#11039, v0.5.1640), main 990b3eeada.

Carried at head c5cf877c56. CI on the train head passed every job except the known public-baseline lint step: all 6 gap shards, cargo-test, e2e-scoped, gc-stress, check, warnings and security-audit green.

This train was split by blast radius after an earlier 35-PR assembly hit five gap regressions: it carries only PRs touching no lowering path. Trains rebase-merge, so commits get new SHAs and GitHub cannot mark this merged. Closed as landed.
