## Summary Preserve compatible optional-peer versions already recorded in the lockfile when pnpm re-resolves a workspace. ## Reproduction Public reproduction: <https://github.com/sharmila-oai/pnpm-optional-peer-lockfile-repro> The workspace contains: ```text packages/uses-vitest -> vitest@3.2.4 packages/older -> jsdom@26.1.0 ``` Vitest declares `jsdom` as an optional peer dependency. The committed lockfile was generated when another workspace package also depended on `jsdom@27.4.0`. At that time, pnpm selected the higher compatible version for Vitest: ```text vitest@3.2.4(jsdom@27.4.0) ``` That additional direct dependency was then removed from its `package.json`, without regenerating the lockfile. This simulates a normal manifest edit. Running: ```sh pnpm install --lockfile-only --no-frozen-lockfile ``` unnecessarily rewrites Vitest's still-valid optional-peer context: ```diff - version: 3.2.4(jsdom@27.4.0) + version: 3.2.4(jsdom@26.1.0) ``` Both versions satisfy Vitest's optional peer range. The existing `27.4.0` resolution remains valid and should not be discarded while pnpm updates the lockfile. ## Cause Preferred versions loaded from the wanted lockfile are stored as weighted selectors: ```ts { selectorType: 'version', weight: EXISTING_VERSION_SELECTOR_WEIGHT } ``` `getHoistableOptionalPeers()` only recognized the plain string form: ```ts specType === 'version' ``` As a result, it ignored the compatible locked `27.4.0` candidate. It only saw `26.1.0`, which was rediscovered from `packages/older/package.json`, and rewrote the peer context. ## Fix Normalize the selector before checking its type, matching the handling already used by `hoistPeers()` for required peers: ```ts const specType = typeof selector === 'string' ? selector : selector.selectorType ``` This restores lockfile-seeded versions to the candidate set. It does not add a new preference rule or force pnpm to keep every locked version. Optional-peer auto-installation continues to choose the highest version satisfying every recorded peer range. The equivalent fix is included in pacquet, pnpm's Rust port. ## Validation - Added matching TypeScript and Rust regression tests. - Verified the public reproduction against `pnpm@11.4.0` and the patched CLI. - Ran the focused TypeScript resolver checks and pacquet test, clippy, format, and `cargo nextest` checks. --------- Co-authored-by: Zoltan Kochan <z@kochan.io>
