A frozen install failed in a project with no dependencies when
pnpm-lock.yaml held only the env document, which every command writes
before the first install. v12 reported a missing lockfile, v11 a broken
one. When the separator after the env document was also gone, both read
the file as having no env document and rejected the pinned pnpm version
as outdated.
- Both stacks now read a file that opens with `---` and has no separator
as an env-only lockfile when it carries `configDependencies`, so its pin is found and a main-lockfile write
keeps it.
- v11 no longer calls a lockfile with an env document but no main
document broken.
- The env-only fallback requires the root importer's `configDependencies`
key, so a main lockfile that merely opens with `---` is not read as an
env document.
- v12 lets a frozen install without a lockfile proceed when no project
has dependencies, as v11 does.

With enableGlobalVirtualStore and an explicit virtualStoreDir, the
project's internal directory, which holds its current lockfile and
hidden hoisted dependencies, was the shared store root, so every
project using that root read the others' packages as its own.
Under a global virtual store, the install state directory is now
always <modules_dir>/.pnpm, pnpm 11's internalPnpmDir. The resolved
virtualStoreDir setting is kept in configured_virtual_store_dir, which
apply_global_virtual_store_derivation reads: the derivation runs again
after --store-dir, updateConfig hooks and store placement, when
install_state_dir is already project-local. Without a global virtual
store the derivation restores install_state_dir from the setting, so a
hook that turns the store off still gets the configured directory.
--virtual-store-dir records the setting the same way, so it names the
store root under a global virtual store, as in pnpm 11. The Node API
overlay re-derives after setting globalVirtualStoreDir, keeping the
internal directory project-local there too.
Config names the two directories by meaning: the field that held the
state directory is now install_state_dir, and virtual_store_dir(),
previously effective_virtual_store_dir(), is where packages are
linked. The Node API keeps its virtualStoreDir and
effectiveVirtualStoreDir fields.
The TypeScript CLI's internalPnpmDir is renamed to installStateDir to
match.
The v12 settings reference documents virtualStoreDir under a global
virtual store.
pnpm clean still removes a shared store that virtualStoreDir or
globalVirtualStoreDir places inside the project, choosing the
directory install populates. It never removes the project root, and it
resolves symlinked parents so the removal cannot leave the project.

Resolve virtual store paths against the canonical modules directory so installs through a
symlink do not rewrite another checkout.
Keep partial workspace lockfile-only operations in the resolution path and stop before
materializing dependencies.
Fixespnpm/pnpm#14286
Merging git branch lockfiles unions their keys, so a dependency that the main branch removed after a branch lockfile was written comes back in the merged result. Resolution normally prunes it again, but --frozen-lockfile skips resolution and fails the manifest check with ERR_PNPM_OUTDATED_LOCKFILE.
Once the branch lockfiles are merged, prune each importer back to what its manifest declares. The declared names are derived per dependency group the way satisfiesPackageManifest derives them, so a dependency that moved between groups is reconciled rather than left in both. Only a peer that no other field declares is auto-installed, so a dependency listed in both devDependencies and peerDependencies keeps the field that declares it rather than being dropped from it. Pruning importer edges can strand packages, so the merged lockfile then goes through pruneSharedLockfile.
The Rust CLI merges branch lockfiles the same way and had the same bug. It gets the same reconciliation, hooked into the install pipeline because the lazily loaded wanted lockfile has no access to the project manifests at load time.

Registries do not all lay out tarball URLs the way the npm registry does.
JFrog Artifactory repeats the scope in a scoped package's tarball filename
(`@acme/widget/-/@acme/widget-1.0.0.tgz`) where npm strips it. pnpm cannot
rebuild such a URL, so it writes it out for every scoped package instead of
omitting it, and the lockfile carries a host-specific URL per dependency.
pnpm had no place to record such a fact, because it had no place to
describe a registry at all — only three ways to name one. `registries`
mapped a scope to a URL, `namedRegistries` mapped a bare-specifier prefix
to a URL, and neither could carry anything else.
`registries` now declares a registry once, keyed by its URL, with every
fact about it in the entry: a `serverType`, the `scopes` routed to it,
and the `prefix` it answers to. `serverType` has three states:
undeclared strict; only the exact canonical URL is reconstructible
npm also serves the percent-encoded scoped path
artifactory repeats the scope in the tarball filename
registry.npmjs.org resolves to `npm` as a built-in, so its behavior is
unchanged and the old hostname check becomes that one default rather than a
special case in the predicate. `npm` cannot be the default: asserting
npmjs-compatibility is a claim only the operator can make.
The URL is the key because every fact in an entry is a fact about that
server. Keying the layout by scope would bind it to whoever the scope
currently points at, so two developers whose scope resolves differently
would write lockfiles that disagree about which URLs may be omitted.
`scopes` and `prefix` are routes to the registry and are inverted at
config-read time into the two lookups the rest of pnpm already queries,
leaving the resolver, installer, and lockfile layers untouched and the
precedence chain (builtin < .npmrc < yaml < `_auth` < CLI) unchanged.
The layout is declared, never inferred. Sniffing the registry URL cannot work:
a virtual repository serves both layouts at once, depending on whether each
package was synced from upstream or published locally, so no registry-level
signal — route, response header, or probe — decides it. Declaring it also
keeps a wrong guess a fixable misconfiguration instead of a silent breakage.
`serverType` feeds a single URL builder that both sides of the lockfile use:
the writer omits a tarball URL only when the builder reproduces it, and the
reader rebuilds it with the same call. They therefore agree by construction,
so pnpm never has to assume a registry serves some second URL as well.
The setting lives in pnpm-workspace.yaml rather than .npmrc because the
lockfile depends on it: one developer omitting URLs that another reconstructs
differently would break a frozen install. A `serverType` in the global
config.yaml is ignored for the same reason, while the routes declared
alongside it are kept. Credentials are rejected there — the file is
committed — and still belong in .npmrc. The registry URL is the map key, so
the request-destination env gate applies to keys as well as values.
Credentials and unknown fields are refused after parsing, since a parse
error renders the offending source line verbatim.
A map whose values are all strings is the older `<scope>: <url>` shape and
is still read as one. Mixing the two shapes in one map is refused, and so is
a URL-keyed entry written as a string. `namedRegistries` is deprecated in
favor of `prefix` and is read only for prefixes `registries` does not
declare; a prefix stays singular because it is the registry's identity in a
lockfile dep path.
An entry that routes nothing to itself and matches no configured registry is
reported as a warning rather than silently ignored; it is a warning and not
an error because a shared config dependency can legitimately describe
registries a given project does not use.
Config dependencies and pnpr-server-mode resolution pass no server type; in
both, the writer and the reader share that default, so they stay consistent.
Closespnpm/get-npm-tarball-url#16. Supersedes pnpm/pnpm#13920.
Some registries generate tarballs on demand and cannot list an integrity in
their packument. pnpm then wrote integrity-less lockfile entries on the first
install and failed the next one with ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TARBALL_INTEGRITY, unable
to install from its own lockfile.
Compute the missing integrity from the downloaded bytes and write it into the
resolution before the lockfile is built:
- Add an optional `resolutionNeedsFetch` contract to the fetcher API (backward
compatible, since custom fetchers come from hooks). The remote-tarball fetcher
reports it when a resolution lacks integrity; the picked fetcher's signal flows
through PackageResponse -> ResolvedPackage so nothing re-derives it.
- The package requester downloads such tarballs (including under --lockfile-only /
skipFetch / not-installable) and fills the computed integrity onto the resolution
via the already-running `fetching` promise, so dependency resolution isn't
blocked. The deps-resolver awaits only the flagged entries before updateLockfile,
because the integrity feeds the global virtual-store paths.
- Move read-side enforcement into the npm resolver's lockfile verifier
(MISSING_TARBALL_INTEGRITY): reject a registry/http(s) tarball entry whose
integrity is missing/empty/non-string, fail-closed, before the URL-keyed and
semver short-circuits. Drop the earlier read-side auto-heal (a missing-field
bypass). Harden against tampered lockfiles (non-string tarball/integrity).
- Reuse the fetcher picked during resolution on the fetch path instead of running
pickFetcher (and a custom fetcher's async canFetch) twice per package.
Mirrored in pacquet: PrefetchingResolver computes the integrity for integrity-less
tarball resolutions during resolution (FetchTarballForResolution::run), deduped per
URL with a singleflight cache.

The TypeScript pnpm CLI freezes at v11; pnpm 12 will be the Rust pacquet
port. To make that split legible, all TypeScript source, test, and build
directories move under a new top-level pnpm11/ directory. The name states
the version boundary rather than implying a behavioral fork, since the two
stacks are meant to behave identically.
Scope is source-only: the shared workspace root stays at the repo root.
pnpm-workspace.yaml, package.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, .pnpmfile.cjs,
.meta-updater, __patches__, .changeset, .husky, and the lint/spell configs
remain in place, so one pnpm workspace and one Cargo workspace still span
all three products. pnpr/client and pacquet/tasks/registry-mock stay as
cross-product workspace members.
Rewiring the move required:
- pnpm-workspace.yaml globs prefixed with pnpm11/
- root package.json script paths, eslint.config.mjs, tsconfig.lint.json,
.gitignore, and CODEOWNERS updated
- .meta-updater/src/index.ts literals repointed (pnpm11/pnpm/package.json,
pnpm11/__utils__, pnpm11/__typings__, and the main package directory)
- regenerated every moved package's repository/homepage URL via meta-updater
- pnpm11/pnpm/bundle-deps.ts and __utils__/scripts/src/typecheck-only.ts
climb one more level to reach the repo root
.meta-updater stays at the repo root because @pnpm/meta-updater resolves
its config at <cwd>/.meta-updater/main.mjs.
TS CI (.github/workflows/ci.yml) now only runs when pnpm11/-relevant paths
change, via a dorny/paths-filter changes job plus a TS CI / Success
aggregate gate; branch protection should require only that gate.
