* fix(config/reader): drop user-level default auth when workspace overrides registry
When a workspace `.npmrc` overrides `registry=` to a different value than the
user's `~/.npmrc` or `~/.config/pnpm/auth.ini` would have set, do not bind
unscoped/default credentials (`_authToken`, `_auth`, `username`/`_password`)
from the user-level config to the workspace-selected registry. The previous
behavior leaked user-trusted credentials to whatever registry an untrusted
workspace `.npmrc` pointed at. Reported by JUNYI LIU.
* chore(cspell): allow JUNYI in changeset and tests
* fix(config/reader): also defend when pnpm-workspace.yaml overrides registry
Move the rebind defense to after all config layers (CLI, env vars,
pnpm-workspace.yaml, .npmrc) have settled. Compare the final resolved
default registry against what the user-level config alone would produce,
and skip the check entirely if the user requested a registry via CLI/env
themselves.
* feat(config/reader): deprecate unscoped authentication credentials
Emit a per-file warning whenever an .npmrc or auth.ini contains an
unscoped auth value (_authToken, _auth, username, _password,
tokenHelper). URL-scoped tokens have been npm's recommended pattern
since npm@9, and unscoped credentials are slated for removal in a
future major. The warning fires independently of whether the rebind
defense rejects the credentials, so users see the deprecation even when
their setup happens to be safe today.
* refactor(config/reader): rescope unscoped credentials at load time instead of detecting rebinds post-merge
Each .npmrc / auth.ini / CLI source's unscoped credential keys
(_authToken, _auth, username, _password, tokenHelper) are rewritten to
their URL-scoped equivalent during load, using the same source's
registry= value (or the npmjs default if it declares none). A later
layer overriding registry= can no longer rebind a credential to its own
registry — the credential is already pinned to the URL its author
intended.
This removes the post-merge source-tracking defense and replaces it
with the simpler per-source normalization. Each rescope emits a
deprecation warning so users migrate to writing the URL-scoped form
directly.
* refactor(network/auth-header): drop empty-string default-registry slot
After load-time rescoping, no source can populate configByUri[''] —
every credential is either URL-scoped from the start or rewritten to
the URL-scoped form during the .npmrc / auth.ini / CLI parse. The
runtime fallback that re-keyed configByUri[''] onto the merged default
registry, and the publish-side fallback that read it, are both dead
code.
Removed:
- empty-string handling in getAuthHeadersFromCreds, including its
defaultRegistry parameter
- defaultRegistry parameter from createGetAuthHeaderByURI
- the corresponding dedicated unit test
- the configByUri['']?.creds fallback in publishPackedPkg.ts
- empty-key assertions in config/reader tests
Updated all ~16 call sites of createGetAuthHeaderByURI to drop the now
unused second argument.
* feat(config/reader): extend per-source rescoping to client TLS cert/key
The same trust-boundary issue that affected unscoped credentials applies
to client TLS settings: an unscoped cert=/key= would be presented to
whatever registry the merged config settles on, even if a later layer
(workspace .npmrc, pnpm-workspace.yaml, CLI flag) overrode it. The
existing rescope helper now also rewrites unscoped `cert` and `key`
to their URL-scoped form, pinning them to the registry their author
named in the same source.
`ca`/`cafile` are intentionally left unscoped: they're trust anchors,
not credentials, and corporate MITM-proxy setups depend on them
applying to every HTTPS request. The default-registry override can't
weaponize an unscoped CA — the attacker would need a cert signed by it.
`certfile`/`keyfile` (file-path variants) are not rescoped either:
`certfile` isn't read unscoped by pnpm today (asymmetric vs. `keyfile`
in NPM_AUTH_SETTINGS), and supporting only one of them would be
confusing. Users wanting the path form can write it URL-scoped
directly.
* chore(config/reader): remove dead unscoped `keyfile` allowlist entry
`keyfile` was listed in NPM_AUTH_SETTINGS so unscoped `keyfile=<path>`
passed the .npmrc filter and ended up in authConfig — but nothing in
the codebase ever read it from there. The dispatcher uses `opts.key`
(inline PEM) and `configByUri[host].tls.key` (URL-scoped path/inline
content), neither of which is populated from unscoped `keyfile=`.
`certfile` was already absent from the allowlist for the same reason,
so this also removes the asymmetry between the two file-path variants.
URL-scoped `//host/:certfile=...` and `//host/:keyfile=...` continue
to work via `tryParseSslKey` and are unaffected.
* test(network/auth-header): drop test for removed default-registry slot
This test exercised the configByUri[''] re-keying path that was
removed in the rescope-at-load refactor. With createGetAuthHeaderByURI
no longer accepting a defaultRegistry parameter and unscoped
credentials no longer reaching the merged config, the scenario the
test described is structurally unreachable.
* fix(config/reader): handle empty/invalid registry value in rescope
Two CI fixes:
1. When a source's `registry=` resolves to an empty string (e.g. an
unresolved `${ENV_VAR}` placeholder), `new URL(...)` inside
`nerfDart` throws. Guard the call with try/catch: drop the
unscoped per-registry keys (a bare token has nowhere safe to bind)
and emit a warning naming the offending source.
2. Update `.npmrc does not load pnpm settings` to expect the rescoped
form of unscoped `_authToken`/`username` in `authConfig` — they
now appear as `//registry.npmjs.org/:_authToken` etc. since the
test's .npmrc declares no `registry=` of its own.
* chore(cspell): allow "rescoping"
* test(installing/deps-installer): drop "legacy way" auth test
This test passed credentials via the configByUri[''] empty-string slot,
which the auth-header layer re-keyed to the merged default registry at
request time. That slot was removed in the rescope-at-load refactor —
credentials are now always URL-scoped before they reach configByUri,
so the empty-key entry is unreachable from any code path.
The scenario the test covered (basicAuth via username/password) is
already exercised by the existing "installing a package that need
authentication, using password" test using the URL-scoped form.
* fix: cap lockfile verification memory and add trustLockfile opt-out
Verifying a multi-thousand-entry lockfile against `minimumReleaseAge`
or `trustPolicy: no-downgrade` retained every fetched packument in a
per-install cache for the entire install. On large workspaces this
OOM'd CI runners with a 2GB heap cap. Project both caches down to just
the fields each check reads (per-version trust evidence + the `time`
map for trust; package-level `modified` + version-name set for the
abbreviated shortcut) so the bulk packument is GC'd as soon as the
fetch returns.
Also adds a `trustLockfile` setting (default `false`) that skips the
verification pass entirely for environments where the lockfile is
already part of the trusted base. Mirrored in pacquet. Closes#11860.
* perf: share resolver packument cache with the lockfile verifier
The verifier kept its own per-install dedup Maps and re-fetched every
packument the resolver had already pulled during the same install.
Plumb the resolver's per-install `PackageMetaCache` through to the
verifier (via `createNpmResolutionVerifier` / `build_resolution_verifiers`)
so a name already in the resolver's LRU short-circuits the verifier's
disk/network round-trip — fast path only, the cached document is
projected for the trust check so the verifier's memory footprint stays
bounded.
In pnpm, `installing/client` now constructs one LRU and hands it to
both `createResolver` and `createResolutionVerifiers`. In pacquet, the
`InMemoryPackageMetaCache` is lifted to `Install::dispatch` and passed
to both `build_resolution_verifiers` and `InstallWithFreshLockfile`.
`pnpm outdated` and `pnpm update --interactive` previously skipped runtime dependencies (`node`/`deno`/`bun` installed via the `runtime:` protocol). Both commands go through `outdatedDepsOfProjects` → `outdated()`, and the inner loop bailed out for anything `parseBareSpecifier` couldn't parse — which is everything `runtime:`-shaped. A runtime was only ever reported if the current install differed from the wanted lockfile entry, so the latest available version was never surfaced. The same gap silently affected `jsr:` and named-registry deps too.
Commits, smallest fix first → progressively cleaner architecture:
1. **`feat(outdated)`** — minimal fix: special-case runtime deps in `outdated.ts` so they appear in the table and the interactive update picker.
2. **`refactor(outdated)`** — per-resolver dispatch. Each protocol resolver gets its own "what's the latest?" function; `@pnpm/resolving.default-resolver` composes them.
3. **`refactor(outdated)`** — rename to `resolveLatest` (the function returns info regardless of whether the dep is outdated; "outdated" described a state, not an action).
4. **`refactor(outdated)`** — let the local-resolver own the `link:`/`file:` skip, drop the matching short-circuit in `outdated.ts`.
5. **`refactor(outdated)`** — slim `LatestQuery` / `LatestInfo` to the bare essentials; move `pickRegistryForPackage` into the npm-resolver where it belongs; derive `current`/`wanted` display from `pkgSnapshot.version` in `outdated.ts`.
6. **`chore(outdated)`** — drop stale tsconfig project reference left behind by #5.
7. **`refactor(outdated)`** — drop `wantedRef` from the query; resolvers detect protocol from `bareSpecifier` alone.
## Final architecture
`@pnpm/resolving.resolver-base` defines a single tiny protocol:
```ts
interface LatestQuery {
wantedDependency: WantedDependency
compatible?: boolean
}
interface LatestInfo {
latestManifest?: PackageManifest
}
type ResolveLatestFunction = (query: LatestQuery, opts: ResolveOptions) =>
Promise<LatestInfo | undefined>
```
- `undefined` from a resolver means "I don't claim this dep — try the next one."
- `{}` means "I claim it, but I can't tell you what's latest" (policy-blocked, network unavailable, or a protocol with no concept of latest — git/tarball).
- `{ latestManifest }` is the happy path.
Each protocol resolver (npm/jsr/named-registry, git, tarball, local, node/bun/deno runtimes) exports its own `resolveLatest*` function alongside its `resolve*`. `@pnpm/resolving.default-resolver` composes them into a single first-match dispatcher, surfaced through `@pnpm/installing.client` as `createResolver(...).resolveLatest`.
`outdated.ts` is protocol-agnostic: dispatches, then derives `current`/`wanted` display from `pkgSnapshot.version` (falling back to the raw ref for URL-shaped refs where the URL is the only diff signal between commits), uses raw `wantedRef !== currentRef` for the lockfile-shifted check, and pulls `packageName` from `dp.parse(relativeDepPath).name` so aliased deps still report under the real package name.
Per-resolver responsibilities:
- **npm-resolver** (`resolveLatestFromNpm` / `resolveLatestFromJsr` / `resolveLatestFromNamedRegistry`): match their respective spec shapes, call the matching `resolveFromX` with `'latest'` (or the original spec under `--compatible`), handle `MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE_VIOLATION` and `ERR_PNPM_NO_MATCHING_VERSION` so policy-blocked deps don't surface as available updates. Picks the per-package registry internally via its ctx.
- **node/bun/deno runtime resolvers**: claim deps via `bareSpecifier.startsWith('runtime:')` + alias match, query their release sources for the latest version (only the version — no asset-hash fetches), return `{ latestManifest }`.
- **git / tarball resolvers**: claim deps via spec shape, return `{}` (no concept of "latest"); the caller still surfaces a ref-mismatch report if the lockfile shifted to a different commit/URL.
- **local-resolver**: returns `undefined` so `link:`/`file:`/`workspace:` deps fall through and get silently skipped.
Three coordinated changes that close the silent-bypass gap in loose `minimumReleaseAge` mode AND the discover-by-loop UX problem in strict mode (#10488), plus a parallel hardening of the lockfile verifier:
1. **Auto-collect into `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` (loose mode)** — fresh resolutions that fall back to a version newer than the cutoff are auto-recorded into the workspace manifest's `minimumReleaseAgeExclude`. A single info message lists what was persisted. The workspace manifest writer dedupes against existing entries.
2. **Lockfile verifier runs in loose mode too** — `createNpmResolutionVerifier` no longer gates on `minimumReleaseAgeStrict`. With auto-collect keeping the exclude list explicit, every accepted-immature pin must be on the list — same contract strict mode enforces. Lockfiles produced under a weaker (or absent) policy that still hold immature entries are rejected the same way strict mode would.
3. **Strict mode prompts on the aggregate set instead of throwing on the first** — the resolver always collects every immature direct and transitive in one pass; the install command's `handleResolutionPolicyViolations` checkpoint decides what to do with the set. Interactive (TTY) prompts the user once with the full list (default = No) and asks whether to add them all to `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` and proceed. Approve → install continues, persisted at the end. Decline → resolution aborts before the lockfile, package.json, or modules dir is touched. Non-interactive (CI) keeps `ERR_PNPM_NO_MATURE_MATCHING_VERSION` as the exit code but lists every offending entry instead of just the first one the resolver happened to hit.
4. **The lockfile verifier now also covers `trustPolicy: 'no-downgrade'`.** The same post-resolution gate that re-checks `minimumReleaseAge` on lockfile entries now re-runs `failIfTrustDowngraded` for every npm-registry entry whose name isn't on `trustPolicyExclude`. The two checks share a single full-metadata fetch per package, so the extra coverage doesn't cost an extra round trip when both policies are active. Resolver-time trust checks still run as before — this just closes the gap when an entry bypasses resolution (peek path, `--frozen-lockfile`, restored CI cache).
The steady-state flows:
- **Loose mode, `pnpm add foo@immature`**: lockfile clean, verifier no-op, resolver picks via lowest-version fallback, `foo@immature` lands in `minimumReleaseAgeExclude`, install succeeds. Subsequent `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` in CI verifies against the populated list and succeeds.
- **Strict mode (interactive), security bump to `next@15.5.9`**: resolver collects `next@15.5.9` AND every immature `@next/swc-*@15.5.9` shim. pnpm prompts once with the full list. User approves → install completes, all entries persisted in `pnpm-workspace.yaml`. CI then runs the populated config cleanly.
- **Strict mode (non-interactive / CI)**: aborts with `ERR_PNPM_NO_MATURE_MATCHING_VERSION` listing every immature entry's `name@version` and publish time — no more discover-by-loop dance.
- **Teammate commits a poisoned lockfile**: single-policy batches reject with `ERR_PNPM_MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE_VIOLATION` (or `ERR_PNPM_TRUST_DOWNGRADE`); a batch that trips both policies escalates to the generic `ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_RESOLUTION_VERIFICATION` and lists each entry's per-policy code in the breakdown.
### Implementation
- The npm resolver always falls back to the lowest matching version when no mature version satisfies the range, and flags the result with `ResolveResult.policyViolation` instead of throwing `NO_MATURE_MATCHING_VERSION`. `deferImmatureDecision` and `strictPublishedByCheck` are gone — every caller (install, dlx, outdated, self-update) inspects the violation and decides what to do.
- `policyViolation` flows from `ResolveResult` → `PackageResponse.body.policyViolation` → a shared accumulator in `ResolutionContext` → the `resolutionPolicyViolations` field on `resolveDependencyTree`'s return → out through `mutateModules` / `addDependenciesToPackage` to the install command.
- The violation type lives in `@pnpm/resolving.resolver-base` as `ResolutionPolicyViolation`; the npm resolver exports the two built-in codes (`MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE_VIOLATION_CODE`, `TRUST_DOWNGRADE_VIOLATION_CODE`) as constants so consumers reference one source of truth.
- `handleResolutionPolicyViolations` runs between `resolveDependencyTree` and `resolvePeers` — the resolver-agnostic checkpoint where the install command's plan prompts (TTY) or aborts (no-TTY) with the full violation list.
- `setupPolicyHandlers` (in `installing/commands/src/policyHandlers.ts`) composes per-policy handlers behind a uniform plan interface: each handler has its own `handleResolutionPolicyViolations` (filter by code, decide what to do) and `pickManifestUpdates` (return a typed `WorkspaceManifestPolicyUpdates` patch the install command spreads into `updateWorkspaceManifest`). Today the only registered handler is `createMinimumReleaseAgeHandler` — strict + TTY prompts via `enquirer`, strict no-TTY throws `ERR_PNPM_NO_MATURE_MATCHING_VERSION` with every entry listed, loose mode auto-persists at the tail. Strict + `--no-save` is rejected up-front via `ERR_PNPM_STRICT_MIN_RELEASE_AGE_REQUIRES_SAVE`. Future policies plug in via a sibling factory + push into the handlers list, with no changes to `installDeps.ts` / `recursive.ts`.
- `installDeps` / `recursive` drain `pickManifestUpdates` after install and spread the patch into `updateWorkspaceManifest`. Plain `pnpm install` (no `--update`, no params) now still updates the workspace manifest when any handler contributes a patch. The `install` command's CLI schema gained `save: Boolean` so `--no-save` actually flows through to `opts.save = false` instead of being silently dropped by nopt.
- `makeResolutionStrict` (in `installing/client`) wraps a `ResolveFunction` and rethrows any `policyViolation` as a `PnpmError`. Used by `dlx` and `self-update` under strict `minimumReleaseAge` OR `trustPolicy: 'no-downgrade'`, since one-shot callers have nowhere to defer a violation to. Violation-code → error-code mapping lives in one place so future violation kinds get consistent UX.
- `createNpmResolutionVerifier` extends its check to `trustPolicy: 'no-downgrade'` — same per-entry fan-out, same cache key, sharing the full-metadata fetch with the maturity check. Trust-fetch errors now propagate up so the violation reason carries the underlying message (network code, 404 detail) instead of a generic "metadata is unavailable".
- `verifyLockfileResolutions`'s aggregate throw uses the per-policy code when every violation in the batch shares it, and escalates to a generic `LOCKFILE_RESOLUTION_VERIFICATION` (with per-entry codes in the breakdown) for mixed batches.
- The pnpm agent path refuses installs under `trustPolicy: 'no-downgrade'` (`ERR_PNPM_TRUST_POLICY_INCOMPATIBLE_WITH_AGENT`) — the agent has no server-side counterpart to that check yet, so silently allowing it would land a lockfile the local verifier would later reject. `minimumReleaseAge` is forwarded to the agent and enforced server-side, so that combination is fine.
### Pacquet parity
Pacquet only carries a stub reference to `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` (see `pacquet/crates/package-manager/src/version_policy.rs`); the broader `minimumReleaseAge` and `trustPolicy` policies aren't ported yet, so this feature is outside pacquet's current surface area. It'll come along when pacquet ports the policies.
### Closes
- Closes#10488 (resolves the discover-by-loop dance for security bumps without needing `withTransitives`).
Closes#11687.
## What
Cache the result of the post-resolution lockfile verification gate (#11583) so repeat installs against an unchanged lockfile skip the per-package registry round trips entirely. Persisted as JSON Lines at `<cacheDir>/lockfile-verified.jsonl`.
The cache layer is policy-neutral. Today there's one verifier (`minimumReleaseAge`); future resolver-side verifiers (jsr trust, attestation, …) plug in by declaring their own `policy` slot and `canTrustPastCheck` comparator — no install-side changes.
## Why
#11583 re-hits the registry on every install for every locked (name, version) pair. On warm/repeat installs where the lockfile hasn't moved, that's a stack of per-package round trips with nothing to show for them. This change makes the steady-state case effectively free without weakening the protection — the gate still runs in full whenever the lockfile changes, any verifier's policy tightens, or no record exists.
## How
### Cache lookup, in order
The cache is **indexed by content hash** so git worktrees with identical lockfile bytes share a cache entry. A secondary path-keyed index drives the same-machine stat shortcut.
1. **`stat()` shortcut** — when a previous record for this exact `lockfilePath` matches today's `size + mtime + inode`, trust the cached hash without reading anything. Zero I/O beyond the stat. Microseconds.
2. **Content lookup** — hash the in-memory lockfile (not the file bytes — we already have the parsed object) and look up by content hash. Catches worktrees (same content, different path) and CI checkouts (same content, reset stat). On hit, append a refreshed path/stat entry so the next install at this path takes the stat shortcut.
3. **Any active verifier rejects the cached `policy`** — run the full gate.
4. **No record** — run the full gate.
The in-memory object is hashed with `hashObject` from `@pnpm/crypto.object-hasher` (streaming, key-order-stable).
### Record shape
```json
{
"lockfile": {
"hash": "<sha256 base64>",
"path": "/abs/path/to/pnpm-lock.yaml",
"size": 154,
"mtimeNs": "1736245123000000000",
"inode": "12345"
},
"verifiedAt": "2026-05-17T...",
"policy": { "minimumReleaseAge": 1440 }
}
```
`policy` is the union of every active verifier's `policy` contribution. Verifiers checking the same logical policy (e.g. `minimumReleaseAge` honored by multiple registries) name it the same and share the slot — no resolver namespacing.
### File semantics
- **Sync fs throughout** — the cache is consulted once before verification fan-out and recorded once after. No concurrent install work to overlap with; keeping the call sites straight-line.
- **JSONL appends are atomic** on POSIX/NTFS, so parallel pnpm processes (monorepo installs, CI matrices sharing a cache) write without coordination. Latest record per `(path, hash)` tuple wins on read.
- **Bounded file** — capped at ~1000 entries; compaction is triggered by a single `stat()` of the cache file (1.5 MiB byte budget) so we never parse the file on the steady-state path. When triggered, the tail is rewritten via tempfile + rename.
- **No record on rejection** — a failing verification deliberately doesn't write a record; the next install must rerun the gate.
- **Single hash per install** — the in-memory hash is computed lazily and reused: `tryLockfileVerificationCache` returns the precomputed stat+hash to `recordVerification` on a miss, and the stat-shortcut hit forwards the cached record's hash unchanged.
## Plumbing
The verifier contract changed alongside the cache to make this composable without install-side knowledge of each policy:
- **`@pnpm/resolving.resolver-base`** — `ResolutionVerifier` is now `{ verify, policy, canTrustPastCheck }` (was a bare function in #11583). Each resolver-side verifier owns its policy snapshot and the comparator that decides whether a cached policy is still trustworthy.
- **`@pnpm/resolving.npm-resolver`** — `createNpmResolutionVerifier` returns the new shape: `policy: { minimumReleaseAge }`, `canTrustPastCheck` reads `minimumReleaseAge` from the merged cached bag.
- **`@pnpm/resolving.default-resolver`** — `createResolutionVerifier` (singular, returning a combined function) → `createResolutionVerifiers` (plural, returning a `ResolutionVerifier[]`). No combinator; each verifier handles its own protocol short-circuit inside `verify`, so dispatch happens naturally at the install side.
- **`@pnpm/installing.client`** — `Client.verifyResolution?` → `Client.resolutionVerifiers: ResolutionVerifier[]`. Same rename propagates through `@pnpm/store.connection-manager`, `@pnpm/testing.temp-store`, and `StrictInstallOptions`.
- **`@pnpm/installing.deps-installer`** — new `verifyLockfileResolutionsCache.ts` (`tryLockfileVerificationCache` + `recordVerification`). `verifyLockfileResolutions` takes the verifier list plus `cacheDir` + `lockfilePath` as flat options; the cache fires when both are present, otherwise the gate runs without memoization. The dedup key for in-flight candidates includes a serialization of `resolution` so two entries sharing a (name, version) but pinned via different protocols don't collapse.
Breaking but safe — `@pnpm/resolving.npm-resolver` hasn't been released since #11583 introduced the verifier abstraction, so no downstream consumer is on the old shape.
## Tests
- **17 unit tests** in `verifyLockfileResolutionsCache.ts`: cache miss/hit, stat shortcut, size mismatch falling through to hash lookup, hash-fallback on reset stat, content change with matching size, stricter/weaker policy, missing-field policy rejection, multi-verifier policy merge (shared field stored once), worktree case (same content, different path), JSONL append semantics, malformed-line tolerance.
- **12 integration tests** in `verifyLockfileResolutions.ts`: dedup of peer/patch-suffix variants, distinct-resolution dedup at the same (name, version), stable violation ordering, the 20-entry cap, multi-verifier fan-out (first failure wins), cache short-circuit on a passing run, no cache write on a rejecting run, empty-verifier-list passthrough.
- **1 e2e test** in `pnpm/test/install/minimumReleaseAge.ts`: bundled CLI plumbing — install once to seed the lockfile, enable `minimumReleaseAge` + `cacheDir`, install again, assert the cache file lands at `<cacheDir>/lockfile-verified.jsonl` with the documented record shape.
- Existing `minimumReleaseAge` (13) and `frozenLockfile` (12) suites still pass.
Closes#10438.
## What
Re-verify every entry in `pnpm-lock.yaml` against the policies the resolver chain was configured with — today: `minimumReleaseAge` in strict mode — right after the lockfile is loaded from disk and before any tarball is fetched. A locked version that fails the policy aborts the install with `ERR_PNPM_MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE_VIOLATION`; `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` is honored.
## Why
The policy only fires while pnpm is *choosing* a version. Once a version is pinned in the lockfile — e.g. a developer disabled the policy locally and committed a fresh dependency, or a CI cache restored a stale lockfile — every later `pnpm install` (including `--frozen-lockfile` and `pnpm fetch`) installs it without re-checking, which defeats the supply-chain protection the setting is supposed to provide.
The threat model is **a lockfile someone else resolved**, not local resolution: local resolution is already covered by the resolver's own per-version filter. bun fixed the same shape of bug in [oven-sh/bun#30526](https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/pull/30526); this PR is the pnpm side.
## How
The fix introduces a generic `ResolutionVerifier` abstraction in the resolver chain — each resolver factory can ship a sibling verifier factory, exactly the way each resolver ships a `resolve` function. Today there's one verifier (npm); the shape leaves room for future ones (jsr, attestation-based, etc.) without changing the install-side interface.
- **`@pnpm/resolving.resolver-base`** exports the `ResolutionVerifier` / `ResolutionVerification` types — the shared contract.
- **`@pnpm/resolving.npm-resolver`** exports `createNpmResolutionVerifier`. Returns `undefined` when no policy is active, so callers can cheaply decide whether to iterate at all. When active, it inspects each lockfile entry, handles `minimumReleaseAgeExclude`, routes through named-registry prefixes (built-ins like `gh:` merged in), and uses `fetchFullMetadataCached` to fetch full registry metadata — decoupled from the resolver pipeline so neither `peekManifestFromStore` nor abbreviated metadata can hide the publish timestamp.
- **`@pnpm/resolving.default-resolver`** exports `createResolutionVerifier`, a combinator that asks each underlying verifier (today: npm) if it has work and returns `undefined` when none does. Designed so that adding more verifiers later doesn't change the install side.
- **`@pnpm/installing.client`** exposes `verifyResolution` on `Client`, built from the same `fetchFromRegistry` / `getAuthHeader` the resolver chain already uses — **no second fetcher is constructed**.
- **`@pnpm/store.connection-manager`** and **`@pnpm/testing.temp-store`** surface `verifyResolution` alongside the store controller they hand back, so it reaches `mutateModules` through the existing plumbing.
- **`@pnpm/installing.deps-installer`** gains one option on `StrictInstallOptions`: `verifyResolution?: ResolutionVerifier`. `mutateModules` invokes `verifyLockfileResolutions(ctx.wantedLockfile, opts.verifyResolution)` **once**, right after `getContext` returns the on-disk lockfile and before any path branches. When the verifier is `undefined`, the call is a no-op. The iteration is policy-neutral: dedupes by `(name, version)`, applies `pLimit(16)`, sorts violations stably, caps the printed list at 20 with an `…and N more` summary, throws a `PnpmError` carrying the verifier-supplied error code.
The error includes a recovery hint that points at `pnpm clean --lockfile` followed by `pnpm install` — the safe way to throw away a poisoned lockfile and rebuild from fresh resolution.
## Tests
- **9 unit tests** for `verifyLockfileResolutions` against a mock `ResolutionVerifier` — dedup, aggregation, stable ordering, the 20-entry cap, no-op behavior, the verifier-supplied error code surfacing in `PnpmError`.
- **13 integration tests** in `installing/deps-installer/test/install/minimumReleaseAge.ts` via the real `install()` entry — `testDefaults()` wires `verifyResolution` from `createTempStore` → `createClient`, so the npm verifier runs end-to-end at the install boundary. Covers the rejection scenario, `minimumReleaseAgeExclude`, the strict-mode toggle, the existing `minimumReleaseAge` resolver-side suite, and a `pnpm add` scenario where a pre-existing entry would otherwise survive resolution.
- **3 e2e tests** in `pnpm/test/install/minimumReleaseAge.ts` against the bundled CLI: rejection path with the right `ERR_PNPM_*` code and `pnpm clean --lockfile` hint in output, `minimumReleaseAgeExclude` honored, and the strict-off path (which now requires an explicit `minimumReleaseAgeStrict: false` since the config reader auto-enables strict mode when `minimumReleaseAge` is set).
- Existing `frozenLockfile` suite (12 tests) and npm-resolver suite (179 tests) still pass.

instead of relying on `@types/jest` ambient declarations. Under the
new tsgo build, `import { jest } from '@jest/globals'` shadows the
ambient `jest` namespace, breaking `@types/jest`'s `declare var
describe: jest.Describe;` globals.
- Add `@jest/globals` to each package's devDependencies where tests
now import from it, and add `@types/node` to packages that need it
but were relying on hoisted resolution.
- Replace `fail()` calls with `throw new Error(...)` since `fail` is
no longer globally available.
* chore: fix remaining tsgo type-strictness errors
- Strip `as <PnpmType>` casts on objects passed to toMatchObject /
toStrictEqual / toEqual; @jest/globals rejects the typed objects
(which include AsymmetricMatchers) vs. the repo-specific type.
- Type `jest.fn<...>()` explicitly where the mock's signature matters
for toHaveBeenCalledWith.
- Replace `beforeEach(() => X)` with `beforeEach(() => { X })` so the
return value is void, as the stricter jest typing requires.
- Use `expect.objectContaining({...})` in one place where the full
expected object triggered stricter type resolution.
- Cast `prompt.mock.calls` arg through `as unknown as Record<...>[]`
for patch.test.ts's nested-array matchers.
- Fix off-by-one `<reference path>` in pnpm/test/getConfig.test.ts
that only surfaced now.
- Move `@jest/globals` from devDependencies to dependencies in the
two `__utils__` packages that import it from `src/`.
- Clean up unused imports from the @jest/globals migration.
* chore: address Copilot review on #11332
- Move misplaced `@jest/globals` imports to the top import block in
checkEngine, run.ts, and workspace/root-finder tests where the
script dropped them below executable code.
- Replace `try { await x(); throw new Error('should have thrown') } catch`
in bins/linker, lockfile/fs, and resolving/local-resolver tests with
`await expect(x()).rejects.toMatchObject({...})`. The old pattern
swallowed an unrelated `throw` if the under-test call silently
succeeded, which would fail on the catch-block assertion with a
misleading message.
## Summary
- pnpm installing a Node.js runtime (`node@runtime:<ver>`, `pnpm env use`, `pnpm runtime set node`) no longer extracts the bundled `npm`, `npx`, and `corepack`. These make up ~2,800 of ~5,800 files in a typical Node.js archive, so skipping them materially reduces hashing, CAS writes, SQLite index inserts, and import/link work.
- Users who still need `npm` can install it as a separate package.
## How
A new optional `ignoreFilePattern` (regex source string, serializable across the worker boundary) threads through `FetchOptions` → `tarball-fetcher` → `@pnpm/worker` → `cafs.addFilesFromTarball`. `cafs.addFilesFromTarball` now accepts a per-call ignore on top of the existing cafs-level `ignoreFile`; the two are combined.
`@pnpm/fetching.binary-fetcher` defines the Node-specific regex and applies it when `opts.pkg.name === 'node'`:
- Tarball path: sets `ignoreFilePattern`.
- Windows zip path: new `ignoreEntry?: RegExp` on `AssetInfo`; `extractZipToTarget` strips the `basename/` prefix and skips matching entries before `zip.extractEntryTo`.
`@pnpm/engine.runtime.node-resolver`'s `getNodeBinsForCurrentOS` drops `npm`/`npx` so pnpm no longer creates shims for bins that no longer exist.
## Breaking change
Shipping in v11. After this lands, `pnpm runtime set node` / `node@runtime:<version>` no longer puts `npm`, `npx`, or `corepack` on `$PATH`. Scripts that call them directly will need to install npm separately.
Library packages had `prepublishOnly: pn compile`, which expands to
`tsgo --build && pn lint --fix`. During `pn release` that runs eslint
against ~150 packages for no benefit — the code has already been linted
in CI and the release flow's upfront compile has already built dist/.
Switch lib prepublishOnly to a bare `tsgo --build` so the safety-net
compile stays but the per-package eslint cost is gone.
Major cleanup of the config system after migrating settings from `.npmrc` to `pnpm-workspace.yaml`.
### Config reader simplification
- Remove `checkUnknownSetting` (dead code, always `false`)
- Trim `npmConfigTypes` from ~127 to ~67 keys (remove unused npm config keys)
- Replace `rcOptions` iteration over all type keys with direct construction from defaults + auth overlay
- Remove `rcOptionsTypes` parameter from `getConfig()` and its assembly chain
### Rename `rawConfig` to `authConfig`
- `rawConfig` was a confusing mix of auth data and general settings
- Non-auth settings are already on the typed `Config` object — stop duplicating them in `rawConfig`
- Rename `rawConfig` → `authConfig` across the codebase to clarify it only contains auth/registry data from `.npmrc`
### Remove `rawConfig` from non-auth consumers
- **Lifecycle hooks**: replace `rawConfig: object` with `userAgent?: string` — only user-agent was read
- **Fetchers**: remove unused `rawConfig` from git fetcher, binary fetcher, tarball fetcher, prepare-package
- **Update command**: use `opts.production/dev/optional` instead of `rawConfig.*`
- **`pnpm init`**: accept typed init properties instead of parsing `rawConfig`
### Add `nodeDownloadMirrors` setting
- New `nodeDownloadMirrors?: Record<string, string>` on `PnpmSettings` and `Config`
- Replaces the `node-mirror:<channel>` pattern that was stored in `rawConfig`
- Configured in `pnpm-workspace.yaml`:
```yaml
nodeDownloadMirrors:
release: https://my-mirror.example.com/download/release/
```
- Remove unused `rawConfig` from deno-resolver and bun-resolver
### Refactor `pnpm config get/list`
- New `configToRecord()` builds display data from typed Config properties on the fly
- Excludes sensitive internals (`authInfos`, `sslConfigs`, etc.)
- Non-types keys (e.g., `package-extensions`) resolve through `configToRecord` instead of direct property access
- Delete `processConfig.ts` (replaced by `configToRecord.ts`)
### Pre-push hook improvement
- Add `compile-only` (`tsgo --build`) to pre-push hook to catch type errors before push
Replace node-fetch with native undici for HTTP requests throughout pnpm.
Key changes:
- Replace node-fetch with undici's fetch() and dispatcher system
- Replace @pnpm/network.agent with a new dispatcher module in @pnpm/network.fetch
- Cache dispatchers via LRU cache keyed by connection parameters
- Handle proxies via undici ProxyAgent instead of http/https-proxy-agent
- Convert test mocking from nock to undici MockAgent where applicable
- Add minimatch@9 override to fix ESM incompatibility with brace-expansion
* fix: ensure PNPM_HOME/bin is in PATH during pnpm setup
When upgrading from old pnpm (global bin = PNPM_HOME) to new pnpm
(global bin = PNPM_HOME/bin), `pnpm setup` would fail because the
spawned `pnpm add -g` checks that the global bin dir is in PATH.
Prepend PNPM_HOME/bin to PATH in the spawned process env so the
check passes during the transition.
