Move pnpm's version banding and lockstep off the .meta-updater hacks and onto
the integrated versioning engine, then restore the PR-time drift guard the move
removed.
- versioning.epics bands every pnpm11/ library major to the pnpm CLI's major;
versioning.fixed keeps [pnpm, @pnpm/exe, ...artifacts] in exact-version
lockstep. Both live in pnpm-workspace.yaml. Removes the
smallestAllowedLibVersion rewrite, the @pnpm/exe/artifact version forcing,
the EXPERIMENTAL_PKGS set, and the semver dependency from .meta-updater.
- Adds `pnpm change check` (both stacks): a static counterpart to
`pnpm change status` that validates committed versions against the epic bands
and fixed-group lockstep, failing with every violation listed. Backed by
checkVersioningInvariants / check_versioning_invariants in the versioning
engine. Wired into CI via the check:versioning lint step so drift is caught at
PR time, the way meta-updater --test used to catch it.
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.
