Upstream Node bug: nodejs/node#66207

Why

The js CLI could not decrypt or inspect any TDF of 4 GiB or more (InvalidFileError: Unable to retrieve CD manifest). go and java read the same well-formed ZIP64 files without problems.

The cause is in Node, not the zip reader. fs.openAsBlob() reports a file-backed Blob's size modulo 2^32. For example, a 64 GiB TDF of 68,723,312,361 bytes reports 3,835,625 (seen on Node v24.21.0). ZipReader finds the central directory with blob.slice(-1000), which is relative to that wrong size, so it reads from the middle of the payload. Streaming is not affected, so encrypt worked and only random access was broken.

Browsers report the correct size, so the SDK's file-browser path and the web-app are unaffected.

Approach

The CLI now reads input through a positional FileHandle.read chunker, passed as a { type: 'chunker' } source for both encrypt and decrypt. This works on every Node version and leaves lib/ (isomorphic, with no node: imports) untouched.

Alternatives rejected:

Wait for src: avoid truncating Blob sizes to 32 bits nodejs/node#66207. It isn't merged, and it notes that even a correct size above uint32 trips a CHECK in blob.slice(). It would also force every user onto a new Node.
Pass an explicit size to the Blob path. It hits the same slice() CHECK.
Use a stream source. It works for encrypt, but decrypt buffers stream sources fully into memory.
Export the chunker from the SDK as a Node-only entry point. That needs new export and build plumbing plus browser-bundler risk. Possible follow-up if other Node consumers need it.

User-visible changes

TDFs of 4 GiB or more now decrypt and inspect.
If the input file changes while it is being read (size, mtime or ctime), the command fails with file changed while reading instead of silently producing a truncated or mixed TDF.
The input error now gives the reason: File is not accessible [file]: <cause> (missing file, not a regular file, too large). This replaces File is not accessable [file], which hid the cause.
A FIFO or other non-regular input is rejected immediately instead of hanging.
--assertions and --assertionVerificationKeys files may start with a UTF-8 BOM, as they could under openAsBlob.
At --log-level debug, the logged source is now {"type":"chunker"}.

Testing

cd cli && npm test: 15 passing. The key test uses a sparse 2^32 + 4096 byte file (a few KiB on disk) to check the real size, negative-offset tail reads, and a range above 2^32. A canary test asserts that openAsBlob still truncates; it will fail once Node fixes the bug, signalling the workaround can be revisited.
bats cli/bin/opentdf.bats: 11/11.
Manual, against a 64 GiB go-written TDF: the old openAsBlob path fails with Unable to retrieve CD manifest, while the new CLI inspect prints the full manifest (32768 segments).

Not verified

End-to-end decrypt of a TDF of 4 GiB or more. The local platform was down at verification time. An xtest --bench-scale or 5 GiB run with this CLI build would close the gap.
Linux and Windows. Only tested on macOS arm64 / APFS. The large-file test assumes the filesystem supports sparse files.

Out of scope

The GLOBAL_BYTE_LIMIT of 64e9 on encrypt (DSPX-4648 / feat(sdk): derive the encrypt byte ceiling instead of hardcoding 64 GB (DSPX-4652) #1022) is unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- The CLI can now read large files, including files larger than 4 GiB, and supports reading specific byte ranges.
Bug Fixes
- JSON input files with a leading UTF-8 BOM are now parsed correctly.
- File-access errors now distinguish missing paths from directories and use clearer “not accessible” wording.
- When both authentication configuration and input-file access are invalid, the CLI reports the missing OIDC endpoint first.

📝 Walkthrough

The CLI now reads input files through a file-backed chunker, closes those sources across command paths, and parses JSON files after decoding their bytes. Tests cover range reads, file changes, invalid inputs, large files, error messages, and BOM-prefixed JSON.

Changes: CLI file inputs

Layer / File(s)	Summary
File chunker and range reads `cli/src/file-chunker.ts`, `cli/tests/file-chunker.spec.ts`	Adds a file-backed chunker with normalized ranges, change detection, and idempotent closing. Tests cover range and whole-file reads, invalid files, and sparse files larger than 4 GiB.
CLI input integration and cleanup `cli/src/cli.ts`, `cli/bin/opentdf.bats`	CLI commands use chunker-backed sources and close them on success and failure paths. JSON files are decoded before parsing. CLI tests cover input validation order, inaccessible inputs, and BOM-prefixed JSON.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7ba80

The CLI test suite may fail after a Node update despite correct file reading. Scope the legacy assertion to affected runtimes; this is a bounded merge risk.

Through chunky paths it hops around.
It shuts the source when work is done,
And BOMs no longer block the run.
Then nibbles carrots in the sun.}

Node's fs.openAsBlob reports a file-backed Blob's size mod 2^32 (nodejs/node#66207), so the zip reader's tail read of any TDF >= 4 GiB landed mid-payload and decrypt/inspect failed with 'Unable to retrieve CD manifest'. Open input files with a FileHandle-backed Chunker that reads by explicit 64-bit-safe position instead, and use it for both encrypt and decrypt. Small JSON option files now use readFile.

Open the input with O_NONBLOCK so a FIFO with no writer does not hang open() before the isFile() check can reject it. Also keep a failed close() from replacing the reason the file was rejected. Signed-off-by: Dave Mihalcik <dmihalcik@virtru.com>

The logger does not print a CLIError's cause, so the 'not a regular file' and 'too large' reasons were hidden behind a generic message. Include the cause in the message, and fix the 'accessable' typo. Signed-off-by: Dave Mihalcik <dmihalcik@virtru.com>

closeSource now logs a close failure instead of throwing, so it cannot replace the real error from a finally block, and it runs before the client's close() so a throwing close() cannot skip it. The read and create option parsers also close the input file if a later option (assertions, verification keys, rewrap key type) fails to parse. Signed-off-by: Dave Mihalcik <dmihalcik@virtru.com>
