Move SQLite reads/writes, JSON.parse, semver matching, and version
picking from the main thread to the existing worker pool.
The main thread is now a thin orchestrator that only does network I/O.
Resolution uses at most 2 round-trips to the worker:
1. Worker checks SQLite cache → cache hit returns immediately
2. On cache miss, main thread fetches from registry, sends raw JSON
to worker → worker parses, writes cache, picks version
This unblocks the main event loop during resolution — network I/O,
tarball downloads, and linking can proceed while the worker does
CPU-heavy parsing and semver matching.
Replace the per-package JSON file cache (metadata-v1.4/, metadata-ff-v1.4/)
with a single SQLite database (metadata.db) for registry metadata caching.
Benefits:
- Cheap conditional request header lookups (etag/modified) without parsing
the full metadata JSON — enables If-None-Match/If-Modified-Since with
minimal I/O overhead
- Full metadata can serve abbreviated requests — if a package was previously
fetched as full (e.g., for trustPolicy or resolutionMode), the resolver
reuses it instead of making another registry request
- Eliminates hundreds of individual file read/write/rename operations per
install, replaced by SQLite WAL-mode transactions
- Removes the runLimited/metafileOperationLimits concurrency machinery —
SQLite handles concurrent access natively
New package: @pnpm/cache.metadata — SQLite-backed MetadataCache class
modeled after @pnpm/store.index, with getHeaders() for cheap lookups,
get() with abbreviated→full fallback, and set()/updateCachedAt().
* perf: use abbreviated metadata for minimumReleaseAge when possible
Instead of always fetching full package metadata when minimumReleaseAge
is set, fetch the smaller abbreviated document first and check the
top-level `modified` field. If the package was last modified before the
release age cutoff, all versions are mature and no per-version time
filtering is needed. Only re-fetch full metadata for the rare case of
recently-modified packages.
Also uses fs.stat() to check cache file mtime instead of reading and
parsing the JSON to check cachedAt, avoiding unnecessary I/O.
* fix: validate modified date and handle abbreviated metadata edge cases
- Validate meta.modified date to prevent invalid dates from bypassing
minimumReleaseAge filtering
- Skip full metadata refetch for packages excluded by publishedByExclude
- Allow ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME from cached abbreviated metadata to fall
through to the network fetch path instead of throwing
* fix: cache abbreviated metadata before re-fetching full metadata
Save the abbreviated metadata to disk before re-fetching full metadata
so subsequent runs benefit from the mtime cache fast-path.
* fix: resolve type narrowing for conditional metadata fetch result
When parallel dlx processes install the same package, the shared global
virtual store can cause spurious failures (e.g. ENOENT from concurrent
directory swaps). Instead of crashing, check if another parallel process
has completed and populated the dlx cache in the meantime, and use that.
* fix: use ENOENT check instead of which.sync for command-not-found on Windows
On Windows, `which.sync()` only checks if a command exists in PATH,
not whether it actually executed successfully. This caused false
"Command not found" errors when a command exists but exits with a
non-zero code. Use the same `spawn ENOENT` check across all platforms,
which is reliable thanks to cross-spawn used by execa.
Closes#11000

* fix: resolve prependPaths against exec prefix for correct Windows command lookup
The previous ENOENT-only approach doesn't work on Windows because execa 9.x
uses cross-spawn only for command parsing, not spawning. This means cross-spawn's
ENOENT hook (hookChildProcess) never fires, and non-existent commands wrapped as
`cmd.exe /c <command>` exit with code 1 instead of emitting ENOENT.
Restore the which.sync fallback for Windows, but fix the original #11000 bug by
resolving relative prependPaths (like ./node_modules/.bin) against the exec prefix
instead of relying on process.cwd(). This ensures correct path resolution in
--filter contexts where the command runs in a different package directory.

Packages whose tests spawn the local pnpm CLI (pnpm/bin/pnpm.mjs) need
the bundle (pnpm/dist/pnpm.mjs) to exist. Add `pnpm --filter pnpm run
compile` to their test scripts so the bundle is built before tests run.
* 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.

Scripts starting with '.' are hidden:
- Cannot be run directly via 'pnpm run .script' (throws HIDDEN_SCRIPT error)
- Can only be called from other scripts (detected via npm_lifecycle_event)
- Omitted from 'pnpm run' listing
This allows packages to have internal scripts that are implementation
details, preventing accidental direct execution. Similar to how
dotfiles are hidden in file systems.
* chore: update all dependencies to latest versions

- @cyclonedx/cyclonedx-library 9 → 10 (adapt to removed SPDX API)
- esbuild 0.25 → 0.27

* fix: revert tempy to 3.0.0 to fix bundle hang
tempy 3.2.0 pulls in temp-dir 3.0.0 which uses async fs.realpath()
inside its module init. When bundled by esbuild into the __esm lazy
init pattern, this causes a deadlock during module initialization,
making the pnpm binary hang silently on startup.
Keeping tempy at 3.0.0 which uses temp-dir 2.x (sync fs.realpathSync).
