Juan Picado f03dc2d15d refactor(registry): adopt verdaccio-shaped YAML config (#11970)
Reshape pnpm-registry's Config to match verdaccio's `config.yaml` schema (storage, uplinks, packages) so the same file can drive either server. The previous Config exposed a single `upstream: Option<String>` resolved at startup; this replaces it with named uplinks plus per-package `proxy:` rules walked in declared order — same semantics as verdaccio, minus the surface pnpm-registry does not implement (auth, web, plugins, middlewares, logs routing, secret), which are accepted and ignored.

Highlights:

  * `Config { listen, public_url, storage, uplinks, packages, packument_ttl }` with `UplinkConfig { url }` and `PackageAccess { access, publish, unpublish, proxy }`. `packages` is an `IndexMap` walked in declared order, first-match-wins: the first pattern matching a request is the rule that applies, and if that rule has no `proxy:` the package is storage-only (resolution returns `None` instead of falling through to a later catch-all). That makes the bundled `@private/*` / `@pnpm.e2e/needs-auth` / unscoped-fixture rules behave the way the YAML says they should.
  * `Config::from_yaml(path, ...)` loads via `serde-saphyr` and resolves a relative `storage:` against the config file's parent. The verdaccio-only sections in the YAML are skipped silently so `registry-mock`'s upstream `config.yaml` parses untouched.
  * `DEFAULT_CONFIG_YAML` — the bundled file mirrored from `@pnpm/registry-mock` — is `include_str!`-ed and re-exported from `lib.rs` so other crates (tests, benchmarks, future embedders) can use the same defaults without reading from disk. `Config::from_default_yaml(base_dir, ...)` parses it.
  * CLI: `-c` / `--config <path>` overrides the bundled default. `--storage` survives as a runtime override (handy for tests without a custom YAML); `--upstream` and `--static` are gone because the YAML now drives both. `--packument-ttl-secs` is optional — the loaded config's value wins when the flag is not supplied. The mock orchestrator at `pacquet/tasks/registry-mock` drops its `--upstream` flag — that command spawns the locally-built binary so it tracks this PR's source directly. The jest harness at `__utils__/jest-config/with-registry/globalSetup.js` keeps `--upstream` for now because CI installs `@pnpm/pnpr` from npm; the flag will be dropped in the same PR that bumps `@pnpm/pnpr` to a build that lacks it.
  * `server.rs` pre-builds one `Upstream` per declared uplink at router construction (keyed by name, in an `IndexMap`) and resolves the right client per request via `Config::resolve_uplink`. No per-request `ThrottledClient` allocations.

Existing tests are kept working by retaining the `Config::proxy` / `Config::static_serve` constructors and switching the test helper from `config.upstream = ...` to mutating
`config.uplinks["npmjs"].url`. All 107 tests in `pnpm-registry` pass (55 unit + 26 + 9 + 17 integration).

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
  * YAML-based registry configuration with package-level routing, multiple uplinks, auth and audit middleware
  * New --config option to load custom registry configs; optional storage override and packument TTL setting

* **Chores**
  * Default registry now uses the bundled configuration (web UI disabled by default)
  * Configuration refactor to support Verdaccio-style routing patterns and per-package access/publish rules

pnpm

Fast, disk space efficient package manager:

  • Fast. Up to 2x faster than the alternatives (see benchmark).
  • Efficient. Files inside node_modules are linked from a single content-addressable storage.
  • Great for monorepos.
  • Strict. A package can access only dependencies that are specified in its package.json.
  • Deterministic. Has a lockfile called pnpm-lock.yaml.
  • Works as a Node.js version manager. See pnpm runtime.
  • Works everywhere. Supports Windows, Linux, and macOS.
  • Battle-tested. Used in production by teams of all sizes since 2016.
  • See the full feature comparison with npm and Yarn.

To quote the Rush team:

Microsoft uses pnpm in Rush repos with hundreds of projects and hundreds of PRs per day, and weve found it to be very fast and reliable.

Background

pnpm uses a content-addressable filesystem to store all files from all module directories on a disk. When using npm, if you have 100 projects using lodash, you will have 100 copies of lodash on disk. With pnpm, lodash will be stored in a content-addressable storage, so:

  1. If you depend on different versions of lodash, only the files that differ are added to the store. If lodash has 100 files, and a new version has a change only in one of those files, pnpm update will only add 1 new file to the storage.
  2. All the files are saved in a single place on the disk. When packages are installed, their files are linked from that single place consuming no additional disk space. Linking is performed using either hard-links or reflinks (copy-on-write).

As a result, you save gigabytes of space on your disk and you have a lot faster installations! If you'd like more details about the unique node_modules structure that pnpm creates and why it works fine with the Node.js ecosystem, read this small article: Flat node_modules is not the only way.
