Closes [pnpm/pnpm#12203](https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/12203). On Windows, `node` is linked by hardlinking `node.exe` directly rather than through a cmd-shim. The early-exit in `linkBin()` only recognized an existing cmd-shim, so on every warm install the existing (already correct) `node.exe` was treated as a conflict: pnpm warned `The target bin directory already contains an exe called node` and then removed and re-linked it. Because many commands re-link `node`, the warning was spammed. ### `@pnpm/bins.linker` Before warning and replacing an existing `.exe`, check whether it already refers to the link target via a new `isSameFile()` helper: - Compares the OS file identity (inode/device), read as `BigInt` to avoid the precision loss NTFS 64-bit file IDs suffer when cast to a `Number`. A zero/unreliable inode (common on Windows) is not treated as a match. - Falls back to a streaming, chunked (64 KB) content comparison when identity can't be established, so a byte-identical copy still counts as the same file without ever buffering a whole executable. A read error during the comparison is treated as "not the same file" so it can never abort bin linking. The early-return is scoped to the `node.exe` path, so non-`node` commands still fall through to the existing warn + remove + `cmdShim()` regeneration and never end up with a partially populated bins directory. ### pacquet pacquet never emitted this warning, but its Windows `link_node_bin` unconditionally removed and re-linked `node.exe` on every install. Ported the same same-file early-return to `cmd-shim` so warm installs skip that churn, using `same_file::Handle` for the cheap identity check (promoted from a transitive to a workspace dependency) with the same chunked content fallback. --------- Co-authored-by: Zoltan Kochan <z@kochan.io>
