Jira: https://virtru.atlassian.net/browse/DSPX-4651 (epic DSPX-4502)

Stacked on #1079. It relies on #1079's readRange for its safety argument. Retarget to main once #1079 and #1017 merge.

What / why

This removes the fixed 10 MB manifestMaxSize check in ZipReader.getManifest, so there
is no manifest size cap by default. 50 TiB payloads (DSPX-4502 / DSPX-4651) produce
manifests far beyond 10 MB, so a fixed ceiling rejects legitimate TDFs.

A declared manifest size that the archive can't back is still rejected:

#1017's 16 MiB central directory bound stays, because it bounds the central directory,
not the manifest.

Errors for very large manifests are now clearer:

  • A manifest too large to decode (the JS engine's string limit, about 512 MiB) is reported
    as InvalidFileError: … too large to decode instead of "not valid JSON".
  • An allocation RangeError from the chunker becomes
    InvalidFileError: … unable to allocate [N] bytes.

No option, CLI flag or tdf.ts setting referenced the cap, so this changes no API.

This replaces the read-side cap that the DSPX-4651 draft stack (#1019 / #1021) raises to
256 MiB and checks on write. Those PRs will be updated to drop the cap.

Risk / known limits

This touches untrusted-input parsing on the decrypt path. Without the cap, two limits are
left open and are tracked as follow-ups:

  • DSPX-5201: for fromUrl sources, a hostile server controls both the reported
    length and the central directory offset. It can therefore make the client buffer an
    arbitrarily large manifest response before authorization.
  • DSPX-5202: manifests over about 512 MiB still can't be parsed, because decoding
    needs a single JS string. This PR makes that failure report clearly; it doesn't lift
    the limit.

Large-file end-to-end coverage is being added separately in opentdf/tests xtest.

Tests

The old 10 MB rejection tests in lib/tests/mocha/unit/zip.spec.ts (including #1017's
"reports oversized manifests without 32 bit wraparound") are replaced by:

  • a manifest declared larger than the archive is rejected because it extends past the
    central directory
  • a declared size the source can't supply gives a truncated-read InvalidFileError
  • an allocation failure while reading the manifest gives InvalidFileError
  • a manifest too large to decode is reported as too large, not as invalid JSON (the test
    stubs TextDecoder.decode, so it doesn't allocate 512 MiB)
  • a manifest just over 10 MiB that fits in the archive now reads successfully

Checks run

  • cd lib && npx mocha 'dist/web/tests/mocha/**/*.spec.js' with the test server running:
    578 passing, 6 pending.
  • prettier and eslint pass on the changed files.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Manifests larger than 10 MiB can now be read, while invalid or unavailable data is still rejected.

📝 Walkthrough

getManifest no longer rejects manifests above 10 MiB. It continues to validate requested ranges and short reads. Tests cover manifests larger than 10 MiB and invalid or unavailable data.

Changes: Manifest reading

Layer / File(s) Summary
Manifest size handling
lib/tdf3/src/utils/zip-reader.ts, lib/tests/mocha/unit/zip.spec.ts
getManifest reads the declared size without a fixed cap. Tests verify that large manifests can be read and that out-of-range or unavailable data is rejected.

Reading a sufficiently large manifest can exhaust process memory. Bound memory use while preserving support for large manifests before merging.

A rabbit reads a manifest wide,
Past ten megs, with room to spare.
Short reads stop the page mid-hop,
Bad ranges meet a careful check.
The rabbit thumps: all bytes are there!

Payloads of up to 50 TiB (DSPX-4502, DSPX-4651) need manifests well
over 10 MB, so the fixed cap rejected legitimate TDFs. A declared
manifest size the archive cannot back is still rejected: adjustHeaders
and readRange require the manifest to end before the central directory,
and short reads fail with InvalidFileError.

A manifest too large to decode (engine string limit, about 512 MiB) is
now reported as too large rather than invalid JSON, and allocation
RangeErrors from the chunker become InvalidFileError. The remaining
limits are tracked in DSPX-5201 (hostile remote server) and DSPX-5202
(512 MiB decode ceiling).
