Can't run on MacOS Tahoe 26.4

[brainpt]

First of all, kudos on the tool.

I've installed it locally using brew (and I even tried it out with the npm or even npx way) and I'm getting the same error upon the start of the codeburn.

Here's the stack trace I'm getting:

[1] 23087 trace trap codeburn

[iamtoruk]

Thanks for the detailed report - the stack trace pinpoints the cause exactly. This is a bug in Node v22.14.0's node:sqlite module, not in codeburn:

v8::String::NewFromUtf8(...)                       ← V8 builds a JS string from bytes
node::sqlite::StatementSync::ColumnToValue(int)    ← Node's SQLite returns a TEXT column
node::sqlite::StatementSync::All(...)              ← codeburn runs db.query()

When SQLite hands back a TEXT column whose bytes contain invalid UTF-8 (commonly the case for Cursor's stored chat text — the user is in cursorDiskKV's value blob, which can have multi-byte chars truncated at streaming boundaries), v8::String::NewFromUtf8 returns an empty MaybeLocal. Older Node 22.x dereferenced it without checking, hitting V8's CHECK(location_ != nullptr) and aborting the process with trace trap. A try/catch in JS can't catch this — the abort happens in the C++ extension before the V8 exception handler runs.

The upstream fix has been in Node for several patch releases. Please upgrade Node — anything recent on the 22.x line works, latest 22 LTS is currently 22.22.2:

nvm install 22 --reinstall-packages-from=22.14.0
nvm alias default 22

Then brew upgrade codeburn (or reinstall) and you should be set.

I'm shipping two safety nets in the next patch release so this can't happen silently for other users:

1. Engines bump: package.json requires node >=22.20 so npm warns at install time on known-buggy versions
2. Runtime guard: the SQLite provider now detects Node 22.x < 22.20 at startup and disables the Cursor + OpenCode parsers with a clear "upgrade Node" message instead of letting the V8 CHECK abort take down the whole CLI

Will reply here once the patch ships. Thanks again for the bug report!

[brainpt]

Thanks for the fast response.

I've run the update of the next node version. Also reinstalled the codeburn. But I'm still getting the same error.

@brainpt The fix is up on #272. Instead of blocklisting Node versions, we now select all text columns as CAST(col AS BLOB) so node:sqlite returns raw bytes instead of trying to decode UTF-8 in V8. The JS side decodes with TextDecoder (fatal: false), which replaces bad bytes with the replacement character instead of crashing.

This works on all Node 22.x versions, including 22.22.2.

Can you pull the branch and test against your database?

git fetch origin fix/sqlite-utf8-blob-cast
git checkout fix/sqlite-utf8-blob-cast
npm install && npm run build
node dist/cli.js

If it runs without crashing on your setup, we will merge and publish.

[brainpt]

It worked. You can merge.

Thanks :)
