Research direction

Start at packages/sveltekit-plugin/src/sveltekit-bundle-analysis/sveltekitBundleAnalysisPlugin.ts, especially lines 24-29 linked in the report, and inspect how the bundle name is assembled. Compare the behavior with the provided workaround and verify that repeated builds produce stable bundle names without duplicate false size changes.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

It seems like the version number/hash it added to the bundle name, causing every build to be treated as a different app. For example, this is how the bundle report looks like for any one of my PRs, regardless of the changes:

This then gets incorrectly reported as a large change, even though it isn't:

It seems like this is the code at fault:

https://github.com/codecov/codecov-javascript-bundler-plugins/blob/af1b7a9dadd9d2ceba9dba9d28e165d1f5a71a89/packages/sveltekit-plugin/src/sveltekit-bundle-analysis/sveltekitBundleAnalysisPlugin.ts#L24-L29

here, options.name is __sveltekit_1uzgg2h.app, changing on every build.

Workaround

Patch (can be applied for example using yarn patch):
