* fix: refresh ignored builds when allowBuilds changes
* refactor: extract isBuildExplicitlyDisallowed into @pnpm/building.policy
Removes the duplicated ignored-build filter from deps-installer and

* fix: respect ignoredWorkspaceStateSettings in allowBuilds stale-state check
The fallback that flagged installs when allowBuilds went from unset to

`pnpm dlx` (and `pnpx`/`pnx`/`pnpm create`) now mirrors the `pnpm add -g` flow when the launched package's transitive deps have install scripts:
- dlx overrides `strictDepBuilds: false` for its install so the v11 default no longer turns ignored builds into an `ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS` error. Without this, `pnpx @google/gemini-cli` (and similar — `node-pty`, `@github/keytar`) failed outright and forced users to retry with `--allow-build=<pkg>` for every offending dependency.
- After install, dlx detects skipped builds via `getAutomaticallyIgnoredBuilds` and runs the same interactive `approve-builds` prompt as `pnpm add -g`. In non-interactive mode the install is committed with builds skipped, matching `pnpm add -g` in CI; users who need those scripts can re-invoke with `--allow-build=<pkg>` to force a fresh cache key.
- If the install errors for unrelated reasons (network, etc.) the partially-populated prepare directory is removed so the next dlx run starts clean.
Closes#11444.
### Plumbing
- Exports `getAutomaticallyIgnoredBuilds` from `@pnpm/building.commands` so dlx can detect skipped builds without re-implementing modules-yaml reading.
- Adds `strictDepBuilds` (optional) to `InstallCommandOptions` — already accepted at runtime via the spread, this just makes it explicit at the type level so callers can override it.

* fix(global): avoid doubled modulesDir when approving builds in global add
The global add → approve-builds flow used to forward an absolute
`modulesDir` (`<installDir>/node_modules`) into the install run by
`approve-builds`. The install layer treats `modulesDir` as a path
relative to `lockfileDir` and joins it again — producing a doubled
path on Windows because `path.join` does not collapse an embedded
absolute path. The hoist step then failed with `ENOENT` while trying
to symlink under `<installDir>\<installDir>\node_modules\.pnpm\...`.
Closes#11403.
* test: type test fixtures correctly
* fix(install): tolerate absolute modulesDir in headless install context
Replace the prior unit test (which only checked the call shape) with an
integration test that exercises `install()` with an absolute `modulesDir`
through both the regular and frozen-lockfile paths — the failure mode the
global add → approve-builds chain originally hit on Windows.
`headlessInstall` and `readProjectsContext` now resolve `modulesDir` via
`pathAbsolute` instead of `path.join(lockfileDir, modulesDir)`, so an
absolute value no longer produces a doubled prefix. The
`promptApproveGlobalBuilds` change from the previous commit is retained
as the contract-level fix.
* test: add e2e test driving the pnpm CLI with --modules-dir=<abs>
Replace the programmatic install() regression test with an e2e test in
pnpm/test/install/absoluteModulesDir.ts that runs the bundled pnpm
binary with `pnpm install --modules-dir=<abs>` (regular and frozen).
This is the closest CLI-level reproduction of the doubled-prefix path
bug from #11403 — the bug fired specifically in the headless install
path that --frozen-lockfile triggers.
* test(global): drive add -g + approve-builds chain end-to-end
Add an e2e test that runs the bundled pnpm CLI through the full
`pnpm add -g <pkg-with-build>` → approve-builds → install chain that
produced the doubled-prefix `ENOENT` in #11403.
The chain only fires when `process.stdin.isTTY` is true, which CI
subprocesses don't satisfy. Add a test-only env var
`PNPM_AUTO_APPROVE_BUILDS_FOR_TESTS` that bypasses the TTY guard in
`promptApproveGlobalBuilds` and forwards `all: true` so `approve-builds`
skips its multiselect and confirm prompts. The post-approval install
then runs the same code path a real user hit, and the test asserts the
build artifacts ended up in the global install dir.
Replaces the narrower `--modules-dir=<abs>` regression test, which
only exercised the install layer and not the global-add flow that
originally surfaced the bug.
* test: enable global add -g + approve-builds e2e test on Windows
- Switch to @pnpm.e2e/install-script-example which is cross-platform.
- Use pathAbsolute for modulesDir to prevent doubled path bugs on Windows.
- Add path-absolute dependency to affected packages.

This is consistent with #9358, but implements support for the GitHub Packages npm registry and, more broadly, for vlt-style https://docs.vlt.sh/cli/registries for any registry.
This PR adds a built-in gh: specifier that resolves against the GitHub Packages npm registry, plus a namedRegistries config key so a project can map its own aliases to arbitrary registries. A project can mix public npm packages and private GitHub Packages (or self-hosted) ones without applying a scope-wide registry override to every @scope/* package.
- pnpm add gh:@acme/private writes "@acme/private": "gh:^1.0.0" and resolves from https://npm.pkg.github.com/.
- pnpm add gh:@acme/private@^1.0.0 (with or without an alias) is also supported. Aliased form writes "my-alias": "gh:@acme/private@^1.0.0".
- Auth comes from the existing per-URL .npmrc mechanism, e.g. //npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=${GITHUB_TOKEN}. No new auth surface.
- @github is intentionally not defaulted to https://npm.pkg.github.com/ - hardcoding that would hijack installs of the public @github/* packages on npmjs.org (e.g. @github/relative-time-element) for users without a scope-wide override. Use gh: to install from GitHub Packages, or configure @github:registry=... yourself if that's really what you want.
- Additional named registries (a self-hosted proxy, GitHub Enterprise Server, etc.) can be configured in pnpm-workspace.yaml:
```yml
namedRegistries:
gh: https://npm.pkg.github.example.com/ # optional: overrides the built-in `gh` alias for GHES
work: https://npm.work.example.com/
```
- Then work:@corp/lib@^2.0.0 resolves against https://npm.work.example.com/, and the built-in gh alias can be redirected to a GHES host.
- Env-var substitution (${VAR}) is supported in namedRegistries values, mirroring the .npmrc convention.
- Reserved alias names (npm, jsr, github, workspace, catalog, file, git, http, https, link, patch, and related git host shorthands) cannot be redefined as user-named registries - the resolver throws ERR_PNPM_RESERVED_NAMED_REGISTRY_ALIAS at startup rather than silently shadowing another protocol. Malformed URLs throw ERR_PNPM_INVALID_NAMED_REGISTRY_URL at startup too, instead of failing as a confusing 404 during resolution.
- On publish, createExportableManifest strips any named-registry prefix (both the built-in gh: and any user-configured alias) so npm and yarn consumers can still resolve the dependency via their own scope-registry configuration - mirroring the user-facing requirement when installing such a dep without the prefix.
The prefix is gh: rather than github: because github: is reserved by npm-package-arg / hosted-git-info as a git host shorthand (e.g. github:owner/repo) - reusing it would be a deviation from the specs used by the npm CLI. gh: is shorter, matches vlt's convention, and cannot collide with any existing npm scheme.
Unlike jsr:, gh: (and any other named-registry alias) does not rewrite the package name - gh:@acme/foo resolves @acme/foo from the GitHub Packages registry as-is. This also means npm/yarn consumers see the original name after the prefix is stripped on publish.

The `--latest` flag triggers the `installSome` code path, which built
`currentBareSpecifiers` via `getAllDependenciesFromManifest()` — a

`getWantedDependencies()`, which honors `autoInstallPeers` and includes
them. Pass `autoInstallPeers` through `getAllDependenciesFromManifest`
so both paths agree.

* chore: upgrade @typescript/native-preview to 7.0.0-dev.20260421.2
- Add explicit `types: ["node"]` to the shared tsconfig because tsgo
20260421 no longer auto-acquires `@types/*` from `node_modules`.
- Refactor test files to explicitly import jest globals (`describe`,
`it`, `test`, `expect`, `beforeEach`, etc.) from `@jest/globals`
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

## 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.
* fix: give each runtime variant its own global virtual store entry
When a runtime package (e.g. node@runtime:X.Y.Z) uses a variations
resolution, createFullPkgId() in @pnpm/deps.graph-hasher was hashing
the whole VariationsResolution — the same hash on every host — so the
global virtual store path collided between variants. Whichever variant
installed first won, and a later `pnpm add --libc=musl node@runtime:<v>`
silently reused the cached glibc (or macOS/Windows) binary.
The fix threads supportedArchitectures down to createFullPkgId so the
selected variant's integrity is used as the package fingerprint. Two
related cleanups land with it:
- Extract the platform-variant selection logic to @pnpm/resolving.resolver-base
as selectPlatformVariant/resolvePlatformSelector. The helper's libc
match also required a fix: a variant with no libc is the "default"
build, and a request for a non-default libc (e.g. musl) must require
an exact match so the default variant doesn't silently win.
- @pnpm/installing.package-requester's findResolution now delegates to
the shared helper, and the new supportedArchitectures param is plumbed
through calcDepState / calcGraphNodeHash / iterateHashedGraphNodes /
lockfileToDepGraph and their callers in deps-resolver, deps-restorer,
deps-installer, graph-builder, and building.after-install.
* feat: add pnpm build-sea command for building Node.js SEA executables
Adds `pnpm build-sea` under @pnpm/releasing.commands. Takes a CommonJS
entry file and a set of target triplets (linux-x64, linux-x64-musl,
linux-arm64, linux-arm64-musl, macos-x64, macos-arm64, win-x64,
win-arm64) and produces a standalone executable per target under
dist-sea/<target>/.
Each target's Node.js runtime is fetched via `pnpm add node@runtime:<v>
--os=<os> --cpu=<arch> --libc=<libc>` into $PNPM_HOME/build-sea/<target>-<v>/
so binaries are hardlinked from the global content-addressable store and
`pnpm store prune` can reclaim them.
Requires Node.js v25.5+ to perform the --build-sea injection. If the
running Node is older, a v25 binary is downloaded and used as the builder
automatically. macOS outputs are ad-hoc signed with codesign (on macOS)
or ldid (when cross-compiling from Linux), which is required because SEA
injection invalidates the binary's existing signature.
* fix(build-sea): reject malformed --target, --output-name and use mkdtemp for config
Addresses Copilot review feedback on the build-sea command:
- parseTarget() previously destructured the target string, silently
accepting extra `-` segments. Inputs like `linux-x64-musl-../../outside`
would pass validation and flow into path.join. Validation is now done
with a strict anchored regex.
- --output-name was passed into path.join() without sanitization, so a
caller could escape the output directory with path separators or `..`.
validateOutputName() now rejects anything that isn't a plain basename.
- The per-target SEA config file was written to a predictable path under
os.tmpdir() (derived from the target name and Date.now()), which is
unsafe on multi-user systems. It now lives inside a fresh mkdtemp()
directory and is opened with the exclusive "wx" flag.
- New test cases cover extra-segment targets, uppercase/whitespace
variants, and the full matrix of invalid --output-name inputs.
* rename: build-sea → pack-app
`build-sea` required knowing what a SEA is. `pack-app` is self-describing,
doesn't collide with pnpm's existing `bin` concept, and parallels the
existing `pack` command.
- Command name: build-sea → pack-app
- Default output dir: dist-sea → dist-app
- Error codes: PACK_APP_* (was BUILD_SEA_*)
- Export/type: packApp / PackAppOptions (was buildSea / BuildSeaOptions)
- Install cache dir: $PNPM_HOME/pack-app (was $PNPM_HOME/build-sea)
The Node.js `--build-sea` flag name itself is unchanged — that's a
Node.js feature and outside this project's naming.
* fix(pack-app): reject directory entries, pin builder to >=25.5, refuse macOS target on Windows
Addresses Copilot review feedback on the pack-app command:
- entry validation now rejects non-file paths (directories, symlinks to
non-files) with a dedicated PACK_APP_ENTRY_NOT_FILE instead of
surfacing a less actionable error later in the SEA build.
- DEFAULT_BUILDER_SPEC was the bare major ("25"), which would satisfy
with 25.0.x if that version is still present — those point releases
predate --build-sea support. Tightened to ">=25.5.0 <26.0.0" so the
download is guaranteed to support the flag without ever crossing a
major.
- adHocSignMacBinary() silently skipped re-signing on Windows hosts.
Now throws PACK_APP_MACOS_SIGN_UNSUPPORTED_HOST with a hint to build
the target on macOS/Linux or re-sign manually.
- resolvePlatformSelector() JSDoc now matches what the code actually
does (picks the first entry when it is not "current"; later entries
are ignored).
- New test case covers the directory-as-entry rejection.
* refactor(pack-app): switch target OS names to process.platform constants
Previously `pack-app` accepted `macos-*` / `win-*` as the OS portion of a
target triplet and translated them to `darwin` / `win32` internally. The
translation layer made the CLI surface inconsistent with the values that
`pnpm add --os=…` and `supportedArchitectures.os` already use, and added
a small footgun (e.g. users setting `supportedArchitectures: { os: [darwin] }`
but typing `macos-arm64` for pack-app).
The supported target OS set is now `linux | darwin | win32`, matching
`process.platform`. Old inputs like `macos-arm64` or `win-x64` now fail
validation with a clear error pointing to the new naming. The internal
parseTarget helper drops its TARGET_OS_MAP lookup entirely.
This is a change to an unreleased command so there is no back-compat
concern. pnpm's own artifact directory names (`pnpm/artifacts/macos-*/`,
`pnpm/artifacts/win-*/`) are an internal implementation detail and are
not affected by this change.
* feat(pack-app): read defaults from pnpm.app in package.json
Every pack-app flag (--entry, --target, --node-version, --output-dir,
--output-name) can now be preconfigured in the project's package.json
under a new "pnpm.app" object:
{
"name": "my-cli",
"pnpm": {
"app": {
"entry": "dist/index.cjs",
"targets": ["linux-x64", "darwin-arm64", "win32-x64"],
"nodeVersion": "25",
"outputDir": "release",
"outputName": "my-cli"
}
}
}
CLI flags always win. --target replaces the configured list rather than
appending, so a user can narrow the default set at the command line.
The config loader is strict: unknown keys under pnpm.app and any
type-mismatched values throw PACK_APP_INVALID_CONFIG so mistakes surface
at invocation time instead of silently being ignored.
Chose pnpm.app over pnpm.packApp because it's the shorter, cleaner
namespace for anything related to the app bundle (future sibling
commands like run-app / deploy-app could share the same object without
a naming clash). Chose package.json over pnpm-workspace.yaml because
the config is inherently per-project, whereas pnpm-workspace.yaml is
workspace-root-only.
* fix(pack-app): deterministic libc selection and stricter output-name validation
Addresses Copilot review feedback:
- ensureNodeRuntime() now always passes an explicit --libc for linux
targets. Without a suffix, linux-x64 and linux-arm64 default to
--libc=glibc instead of letting the user's supportedArchitectures.libc
config or the host's detected libc decide the variant. The install
cache directory mirrors this, so glibc and musl variants are always
distinct (linux-x64-glibc vs linux-x64-musl).
- resolveBuilderBinary() now pins the host libc when downloading a
builder Node on Linux. A user whose config sets supportedArchitectures.libc
to musl no longer ends up with a musl Node that the glibc host cannot
execute.
- validateOutputName() rejects Windows-invalid filename characters
(<>:"|?* and NUL), Windows reserved device names (CON, NUL, COM1, etc.),
and names ending in a dot or space — problems surface at invocation
time rather than during writeFile(outputFile, ...) on Windows.
- lockfileToDepGraph variants tests no longer derive the "host"
variant from process.platform/process.arch; they always pass an
explicit supportedArchitectures selector so the expectations hold on
any CI host (including Alpine/musl).
* chore: add "toctou" to cspell wordlist
`TOCTOU` (time-of-check-to-time-of-use) is the standard term for the
race-condition class the pack-app SEA-config comment describes. Adding
it to the wordlist unblocks the Lint CI step.
* fix: lint
## Summary
Adds an opt-in **pnpm agent** server that resolves dependencies server-side and streams only the files missing from the client's content-addressable store.
- **`@pnpm/agent.server`** — multi-process HTTP server (Node.js `cluster`) with SQLite-backed metadata and file caches
- **`@pnpm/agent.client`** — streams an NDJSON response, dispatches worker threads to fetch files while the server is still resolving
- **New config**: `agent` in `pnpm-workspace.yaml` (opt-in)
## How it works
1. Client reads integrity hashes from its local store index
2. Sends `POST /v1/install` with dependencies + store integrities
3. Server resolves the dependency tree using pnpm's `install({ lockfileOnly: true })`, with a SQLite-backed `PackageMetaCache` for fast repeat resolution
4. As each package resolves, a wrapped `storeController.requestPackage` looks up its files and immediately streams digests the client is missing (NDJSON `D` lines)
5. Client reads the stream line by line; digest batches fill up and dispatch worker threads to `POST /v1/files` — file downloads overlap with server-side resolution
6. After resolution, server sends index entries (`I` lines) and lockfile (`L` line)
7. Client writes index entries to store, then runs headless install with a wrapped `fetchPackage` that calls `readPkgFromCafs` with `verifyStoreIntegrity: false` (files are trusted from the agent)
8. `/v1/files` response is gzip-streamed (274MB → ~80MB) — server pipes through `createGzip`, worker pipes through `createGunzip`, parsing and writing files to CAFS as data arrives
## Performance
1351-package project, cold local store, warm server (localhost):
| Scenario | Time |
|----------|------|
| Vanilla pnpm install (cold OS cache) | ~48s |
| Vanilla pnpm install (warm OS cache) | ~34s |
| With pnpm agent (consistent) | **~33s** |
### Key optimizations
1. **SQLite metadata cache** — server-side resolution drops from ~3.4s to ~0.9s
2. **SQLite file store** — consistent read performance regardless of OS file cache state
3. **Streaming `/v1/install`** — file digests stream during resolution, downloads start before resolution finishes
4. **Gzip-streamed `/v1/files`** — whole-stream gzip (274MB → ~80MB), significant savings on remote servers
5. **Worker-thread streaming HTTP** — workers pipe gzip → parse → write to CAFS as data arrives, no buffering
6. **No rehashing** — server-provided digests used directly, skipping 33K SHA-512 computations
7. **No re-verification** — wrapped `fetchPackage` calls `readPkgFromCafs` with `verifyStoreIntegrity: false`
8. **Direct `writeFileSync` with `wx`** — no stat + temp + rename
9. **Pre-packed msgpack** — server sends raw store index buffers, client writes directly to SQLite
10. **WAL checkpoint** — ensures store index entries written by agent are visible to headless install's worker threads
## Usage
Start the server:
```bash
node agent/server/lib/bin.js
```
Configure in `pnpm-workspace.yaml`:
```yaml
agent: http://localhost:4873
```
* fix: preserve pnpm 10 peer suffix encoding for linked paths
The filenamify upgrade from v4 to v7 changed the peer-suffix "version"
token for linked dependency paths: `../packages/b` became `+packages+b`
instead of `packages+b`, causing lockfile churn for workspaces with
packages linked from outside the workspace root.
Replace the filenamify call with a small inline encoder that reproduces
v4's output for link paths, and drop the now-unused dependency.
Closes#11272.
* chore: avoid cspell-flagged word in peer suffix comment
* test: cover linkPathToPeerVersion and clarify its lossy encoding
Address Copilot review feedback on #11297:
- Correct the comment — any leading run of `.` is dropped, not just
`./` and `../` segments (so `.hidden/pkg` becomes `hidden+pkg`).
- Export the helper and add a focused test that pins the exact token
output for link paths, so future lockfile-breaking regressions get
caught by the test suite.
* refactor: extract linkPathToPeerVersion into its own file
* feat: skip lockfile writes for legacy packageManager field
When pnpm is pinned via the `packageManager` field in `package.json`, the
resolved pnpm integrity info is no longer written to `pnpm-lock.yaml`
unless the pinned version is pnpm v12 or newer. `devEngines.packageManager`
still populates and reuses `packageManagerDependencies` as before. This
keeps the v10 -> v11 transition quiet by avoiding unrelated lockfile
churn for projects that pin pnpm the legacy way.
* fix: address Copilot review and CI failure
- Update `configurationalDependencies.test.ts` to assert the new behavior:
the `packageManager` field no longer writes pnpm resolution info to the
env lockfile while config dependencies still are.
- Fast-path in `switchCliVersion`: when the lockfile is not persisted and
the running CLI already matches `pm.version`, skip store access and
integrity resolution entirely.
- Clarify the `resolvePackageManagerIntegrities` docstring to describe
the conditional `save` behavior.
* test: add unit tests for shouldPersistLockfile
Extract the decision logic for persisting pnpm resolution info to the env
lockfile into a dedicated helper so the branches — devEngines source,
legacy `packageManager` field with v11 or older, v12+, and invalid/missing
version — can all be covered without needing an actual pnpm v12 tarball
on the registry.
* feat: add runtimeOnFail setting
Adds a `runtimeOnFail` config setting ('ignore' | 'warn' | 'error' |
'download') that overrides the `onFail` field on `devEngines.runtime`
and `engines.runtime` in the root project's package.json. This makes
it possible to opt into (or out of) runtime auto-download without
changing the project manifest.
* fix: skip runtime download when version is missing
Without a version, convertEnginesRuntimeToDependencies would write
`runtime:undefined` into the manifest. Warn and skip instead.
* feat: apply runtimeOnFail override during install
The config reader override only mutates the context's rootProjectManifest,
but installDeps reads the manifest fresh via tryReadProjectManifest and
findWorkspaceProjects. Apply the override there too so `runtimeOnFail`
actually affects what gets installed. Adds an e2e test covering both
download and ignore overrides through the real CLI bundle.
- Adds a new `minimumReleaseAgeStrict` setting (default: `false`)
- When `false` (default), pnpm falls back to versions that don't meet the `minimumReleaseAge` constraint if no mature versions satisfy the range being resolved
- Set to `true` to preserve the previous strict behavior (error when no mature version matches)
- Update `@pnpm/registry-mock` from 5.2.4 to 6.0.0-6
- Fix auth tests to use bearer token from `globalSetup` instead of hardcoding credentials
- Replace hardcoded integrity checksums with `getIntegrity()` from registry-mock in `customResolvers` tests
- Add `prepareFixtureWithIntegrity()` helper in deps-restorer tests to dynamically patch `@pnpm.e2e` integrity values in fixture lockfiles at runtime, so they don't go stale when registry-mock is updated
- Fix `workspace-external-depends-deep` fixture's current lockfile (was missing `packages/f` and `packages/g` importers)
- Remove unnecessary credentials from `gitChecks` tests (they reject before any registry interaction)
* test: ensure prerelease weighting is correct
* fix: use higher weight for package versions already in lockfile
* test: remove fundamentally incompatible test
* fix(test): use undici MockAgent instead of nock for HTTP mocking
nock only patches Node's built-in http/https modules, but pnpm uses
undici for HTTP requests. Replace nock with @pnpm/testing.mock-agent
(which wraps undici's MockAgent) so the regression test actually
intercepts registry metadata requests.
* fix(benchmarks): show errors from store populate step
The populate step redirected both stdout and stderr to /dev/null,
hiding the actual error when pnpm install fails during benchmarks.
* fix(benchmarks): replace deprecated packages in benchmark fixture
The old fixture used deprecated babel 6, gulp, and other legacy
packages whose transitive dependencies (e.g. es-abstract) are missing
the "time" field in registry metadata, causing ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME
with time-based resolution mode.
Replace with modern equivalents (babel 7, webpack 5, MUI, Redux
Toolkit, etc.) that maintain a similar dependency tree size (~1300
packages) while using well-maintained packages with proper registry
metadata.
* fix(benchmarks): drop eslint plugins that pull in es-abstract
eslint-plugin-react, eslint-plugin-import, and eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y
transitively depend on es-abstract, whose registry metadata lacks the
"time" field. Replace them with eslint-plugin-prettier to avoid
ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME with time-based resolution.

* refactor: remove ignoreDepScripts and neverBuiltDependencies settings
These settings are redundant in v11:
- `ignore-dep-scripts` is superseded by the default behavior of `allowBuilds`
- `neverBuiltDependencies` was already dead code, replaced by `allowBuilds`
* chore: add changeset for removed ignore-dep-scripts setting
12 command test suites had near-identical ~50-field DEFAULT_OPTS objects
copy-pasted between them. Extract the common fields into a single shared
package so each suite only declares its overrides.
* refactor(config): split Config interface into settings + runtime context
Create ConfigContext for runtime state (hooks, finders, workspace graph,
CLI metadata) and keep Config for user-facing settings only. Functions
use Pick<Config, ...> & Pick<ConfigContext, ...> to express which fields
they need from each interface.
getConfig() now returns { config, context, warnings }. The CLI wrapper
returns { config, context } and spreads both when calling command
handlers (to be refactored to separate params in follow-up PRs).
Closes#11195
* fix: address review feedback
- Initialize cliOptions on pnpmConfig so context.cliOptions is never undefined
- Move rootProjectManifestDir assignment before ignoreLocalSettings guard
- Add allProjectsGraph to INTERNAL_CONFIG_KEYS
* refactor: remove INTERNAL_CONFIG_KEYS from configToRecord
configToRecord now accepts Config and ConfigContext separately, so
context fields are never in scope. Only auth-related Config fields
(authConfig, authInfos, sslConfigs) need filtering.
* refactor: eliminate INTERNAL_CONFIG_KEYS from configToRecord
configToRecord now receives the clean Config object and explicitlySetKeys
separately (via opts.config and opts.context), so context fields are
never in scope. main.ts passes the original split objects alongside
the spread for command handlers that need them.
* fix: spelling
* fix: import sorting
* fix: --config.xxx nconf overrides conflicting with --config CLI flag
When `pnpm add` registers `config: Boolean`, nopt captures
--config.xxx=yyy as the --config flag value instead of treating it
as a nconf-style config override. Fix by extracting --config.xxx args
before nopt parsing and re-parsing them separately.
Also rename the split config/context properties on the command opts
object to _config/_context to avoid clashing with the --config CLI option.
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
