lodash/lodash
Four flows matter here: library initialization, an FP conversion, the `npm test` path, and the browser-test path. Library init is entirely synchronous at require time. The Node test path is unusual because `pretest` forces a full build first, meaning `npm test` cannot run without webpack and uglify succeeding. The browser path is a three-stage `document.write` cascade that deliberately corrupts globals before loading lodash, snapshots the result as `lodashBizarro`, restores the globals, then loads the real build and the suite.
- Library startup: the outer IIFE defines constants and regexes → detects `freeGlobal`/`root`/`freeModule` → defines `runInContext` → calls `var _ = runInContext()` at line 17232 → picks one of three export branches. No async work and no I/O occurs.
- Inside `runInContext`, the sequence is: default the context from `contextProps` → alias built-ins (`Array`, `Object`, `Function`, …) → derive `maskSrcKey` from `context['__core-js_shared__']` → build `reIsNative` from `funcToString.call(hasOwnProperty)` → define all internals → attach them to `lodash` → return `lodash`.
- FP conversion of the whole library: `baseConvert(util, name, func, options)` detects `isObj`/`isLib` → builds `config` from the five option flags → snapshots `pristine` → iterates `mapping.aryMethod[1..4]` calling `wrap(key, func, _)` for each → sweeps remaining own function keys attaching only `.convert` → assigns all pairs onto `_` → sets `_.convert` and `_.placeholder` → finally assigns aliases.
- A single method's wrap: `wrap()` resolves `realName` via `aliasToReal` → applies a named special-case wrapper if one exists in `wrappers` (castArray, iteratee, mixin, nthArg, rearg, runInContext) → else applies `wrapImmutable` with the cloner chosen from `mapping.mutate` → then runs the castFixed/castRearg/castCap/castCurry chain → attaches `.convert` and `.placeholder`.
- `npm test` fires `pretest` → `npm run build` → `build:main` (copy + minify) → `build:fp` (webpack mapping, webpack fp, minify) → then `test:main` = `node test/test` and `test:fp` = `node test/test-fp`.
- `node test/test` bootstrap: resolve `filePath` from argv (defaulting to `../lodash.js`, then `fs.realpathSync` + `require.resolve`) → build the `ui` object with `isModularize`/`isStrict` flags → poison `global.root` with a throwing getter → require `qunit-extras` → load the previous stable lodash from `node_modules/lodash/lodash.js` as `lodashStable` → `interopRequire(filePath)` as `_`.
- `test.js` then reaches into internals for coverage: it derives `Hash`, `MapCache`, `ListCache` and `Stack` constructors by inspecting `_.memoize.Cache.__data__.hash.constructor` and by capturing the stack argument passed to an `_.isMatchWith` customizer.
- At the end of both Node suites the same tail runs: set `QUnit.config.asyncRetries = 10` and `hidepassed = true`, and when `document` is absent set `noglobals = true` then `QUnit.load(); QUnit.start();`.
- `test-fp.js` startup differs: it builds a `convert` shim that dispatches to either `root.fp` (browser, pre-built `dist/lodash.fp.js`) or `require('../fp/_baseConvert.js')` (Node), then produces `fp` either by `_.noConflict()` juggling or by `convert(_.runInContext())`.
- Browser test startup, stage 1: `test/index.html` loads stable lodash + QUnit + qunit-extras + platform + `test-ui.js`, calls `addBizarroMethods()` to null out `Object.create`, `Object.getOwnPropertySymbols`, `Symbol`, `Promise`, `Set`, `WeakMap` and patch `Function.prototype.toString`, then `document.write`s `ui.buildPath`.
- Stage 2 captures the sabotaged instance as `lodashBizarro`, clears `window._`, calls `removeBizarroMethods()` to restore every global, then `document.write`s either the build + `test.js` directly or the selected AMD loader.
- Stage 3 (AMD path) configures the loader with three package aliases pointing at the same files through different paths — `lodash`, `shimmed` (`./abc/../`) and `underscore` (`./xyz/../`) — loads all three, tags each with `moduleName`, optionally pulls `_baseEach`/`_isIndex`/`_isIterateeCall`, then `require(['test'])` and `QUnit.start()`.
- The Playwright flow is: workflow installs deps and browsers → `npm run build` → `npx http-server -p 9001 &` → `npx playwright test` → each spec navigates to one of four pages and asserts the text `0 failed` appears within 60s, across 6 browser projects.
- The dist-sync check trace is: checkout → `npm install` → `npm run build` → `git diff --exit-code dist/`; a non-empty diff emits a `::error::` annotation telling the contributor to rebuild and commit.
- `npm run doc` traces to `node lib/main/build-doc github` → `_.last(process.argv)` yields `'github'` → `_.defaults({}, config.base, config.github)` → `docdown(options)` → `postprocess` brackets `Symbol.*` references → write `doc/README.md` → then `markdown-doctest doc/*.md` executes every fenced example against a real lodash with `lodash-doc-globals` in scope.
