Problem

With an npm release-age policy (min-release-age=3 in ~/.npmrc), T3 Code offered a Vite+-installed provider an update to a release younger than the window. vp i -g <pkg> installs through npm, which resolves @latest to the newest eligible release, so the update reinstalled the old version, exited 0, and T3 reported that the provider still needed an update. The offer stayed until the release aged past the window.

Reproduced on main 4cb6945dc6: fresh dev server, scratch npmrc with min-release-age=3, @opencode/cli installed with vp i -g (2.2.6 had been published a few hours earlier, so npm installed 2.2.5). Settings → Providers offered OpenCode 2.2.5 → "Update available" with vp i -g @opencode/cli. "Update now" left 2.2.5 installed and the sidebar showed "OpenCode still needs an update".

Change

Vite+ installs now get their own latest-version lookup, the same way pnpm-global installs already do. The generic lookup asks npm view <pkg>@latest version, which ignores min-release-age and before. The new lookup asks npm pack --dry-run --json=false --global <pkg>@latest, which resolves @latest through npm's install-time resolver. That resolver applies the policy and its excludes. With no policy, it resolves to the same release as before. The version is read from the tarball name pack prints. --json=false keeps that output to one line even when a user's npmrc sets json=true. If the probe fails, the lookup falls back to the existing generic lookup, as pnpm's does.

Other installers keep npm view. The update runner checks compatibility against "what an unpinned command would install now", and native updaters such as opencode upgrade choose their own release regardless of npm's policy.

Scope and approval

Fixes #32326

Triaged via the automated issue flow; the bug was reproduced on main (above).

Verification

  • New test does not offer a Vite+ update npm's release-age policy will not install in packages/provider-core/src/server/maintenanceResolver.test.ts. Its stub npm answers view with the newest release and pack with the eligible one, as real npm does under the policy. On main it fails with expected { status: 'behind_latest', latestVersion: '1.2.0' } to match { status: 'current', latestVersion: '1.1.0' }; on this branch it passes.
  • vp test run packages/provider-core/src/server/maintenanceResolver.test.ts: 78/78. vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (26 packages), tests 80/80 pass.
  • Real app on the fix branch, with the same scratch policy and Vite+ install on a fresh database: OpenCode 2.2.5 is no longer offered an update. Codex and Claude still show theirs, and the server log has no lookup or probe failures.
  • npm behaviour this relies on, checked against the live registry (npm 11.19.0, Vite+ 1.4.0, @opencode/cli 2.2.6 published 2026-11-06T23:33Z):
min-release-age=3 in a scratch npmrc
$ npm view @opencode/cli version                                  -> 2.2.6   (ignores the policy, even with --before)
$ npm install -g --prefix <p> @opencode/cli@2.2.6                 -> npm error code ETARGET
$ vp i -g @opencode/cli                                           -> + Installed @opencode/cli 2.2.5 (exit 0)
$ vp outdated -g --format json @opencode/cli                      -> wanted 2.2.6 (ignores the policy)
$ npm pack --dry-run --json=false --global @opencode/cli@latest   -> opencode-cli-2.2.5.tgz
    without the policy                                            -> opencode-cli-2.2.6.tgz
    with npm_config_json=true                                     -> opencode-cli-2.2.5.tgz
no policy
$ vp i -g @opencode/cli                                           -> + Installed @opencode/cli 2.2.6
  • Before/after screenshots of the provider row were taken but are not attached: the upload tool was unavailable in this environment. The server-side change has no render path of its own, so the test and the transcript above are the proof.
  • Not checked: Windows (npm.cmd) and macOS execution. The probe uses the same spawn path as the existing pnpm and npm probes.

Native and Vite+ installs read the latest version from `npm view`, which
ignores npm's min-release-age policy, so T3 offers a release npm will not
install. These tests reproduce #32326 and fail until the lookup honours it.

… policy installs

Installs without their own version source (Vite+, native updaters, yarn,
volta, bun, npm-global) read the latest version from `npm view`, which
ignores `min-release-age`, `before` and `min-release-age-exclude`. T3 Code
then offered a release that `vp i -g` silently skipped and that native
updaters pinned and failed on with ETARGET.

The lookup now asks `npm pack --dry-run`, which resolves the version through
npm's install-time picker, and reads the version from the tarball name it
prints. Without `--json` the output stays one line however many files the
package ships, so a large package cannot overflow the probe's output cap.
Env, `--global`/`--prefix`, caching and the no-public-fallback failure path
are unchanged; with no policy configured the newest `latest` is offered.

The generic lookup feeds the runner's compatibility check for unpinned
native updaters, which install their own latest, so it stays on npm view.
Vite+ installs through npm, so only it asks npm's install-time resolver.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at ced9b60

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Vite+ provider update discovery now uses its managed npm’s release-age policy, with environment-specific caching. Installation commands remain unchanged, and the new discovery probes are bounded dry runs.

No code changes detected at c456a0e. Prior analysis still applies.

Walkthrough

Vite+ maintenance now probes npm for the version available to install and uses it in version advisories. The resolver adds an environment-based cache key for Vite+ and reuses its environment-hashing helper for Mise. Tests cover release-age settings and fallback to npm view.

Changes: Vite+ installable version lookup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Probe npm for the installable version
packages/provider-core/src/server/maintenanceResolver.ts
The resolver reads the current Vite+ Node installation and runs its npm with a dry-run pack command. It parses scoped and unscoped package tarball names. Failed probes, invalid paths, and unparseable output return null. Mise uses the shared environment-hashing helper for its cache key.
Use the lookup in Vite+ capabilities
packages/provider-core/src/server/maintenanceResolver.ts, packages/provider-core/src/server/maintenanceResolver.test.ts
Vite+ capabilities use the lookup and a cache key containing the lock identifier, package name, and environment hash. Tests check the result under a release-age setting, without that setting, and when Vite+ reports system PATH.

Changing npm policy in an npmrc file can leave the update advisory stale for up to an hour. The update itself rechecks the candidate, so this is a bounded follow-up rather than a merge blocker.

Explanation

The description includes the required Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. It explains the issue, the Vite+ lookup change, the linked issue and triage, and the tests and checks performed. It also states the platform checks that were not run.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The Vite+ probe, its policy-aware lookup test, and environment-based cache key support issue #32326. The shared environment-hash helper also preserves the existing Mise cache behavior while supporting the new lookup. The reviewed diff shows no unrelated changes.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #32326 covers both Vite+ and native-command installs. The new Vite+ lookup uses npm pack to resolve the policy-eligible @latest version, and the test summary reports coverage for that behavior. The whole-PR diff leaves the native opencode upgrade lookup unchanged. The issue reports that this path can still offer a release that npm rejects under min-release-age, so that requirement remains unmet.

Resolution

Address the native-command case in #32326. Ensure T3 Code does not offer an update that opencode upgrade cannot install under the npm policy, or clearly reports that the release is waiting on the policy. Add an automated test for this behavior.

On the linked-issue warning (native opencode upgrade installs): this PR deliberately leaves that path on the existing lookup. opencode upgrade picks and pins its own newest release whatever T3 advertises. The update runner checks compatibility against "what an unpinned command would install now" (providerMaintenanceRunner.ts). A policy-aware lookup on that path would approve one version while the updater installs another. Making native installs policy-aware needs T3 to pin the native updater's target, which is a separate change.

`vp i -g` installs through the npm beside the Node that Vite+ resolves, not
whichever npm comes first on PATH, and the two can disagree on
min-release-age. The probe now asks `vp env exec node -p process.execPath`
and runs the npm next to it. Its answer is cached per provider environment,
using the env hash the mise lookup already used.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Keep the environment hash as a deliberate decision.

environmentCacheKey hashes every env entry, including secrets such as tokens. The hash is SHA-256 and only used in an in-memory cache key, so the exposure is low. The key changes on any env change, such as a rotating variable. A changed key causes a new npm probe each time. This is acceptable at the 1-hour found TTL, but it can cause repeated probes if the env contains volatile values.

`vp env exec node` runs the system Node under `vp env off`, while `vp i -g`
always installs with Vite+'s managed Node and its bundled npm. Ask
`vp env current --json` for the managed Node instead, and fall back to
`npm view` when it reports a system Node, an uninstalled one, or bad JSON.

Check the pack probe’s policy inputs.

The mock returns the selected version even if the probe drops --global or the policy environment. Those regressions can make the advisory disagree with the installer. Record the pack probe’s arguments and spawn environment, then assert the global flag and policy setting after the advisory runs.

Evidence

On both commits: configure npmrc min-release-age=3, install OpenCode with vp i -g @opencode/cli, select that Vite+ binary in Settings → Providers, and refresh status. If an update is offered, press Update now and inspect the completed result.

Environment for every capture: Linux web dev app, Chromium, 1280×800 CSS viewport, light theme, separate fresh databases with automatic seeding disabled. Registry latest was 2.2.7; managed npm selected eligible 2.2.6. Both sides used an explicit binary path instead of modifying PATH. Machine labels and local paths are redacted.

Before After

AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.

Not shown:

  • The automatic transition when 2.2.7 passes the three-day policy window was not observed because it requires waiting beyond the evidence budget.
  • PATH-based automatic selection was not exercised; both apps explicitly selected the real Vite+ shim in provider settings.
  • Other providers, Windows npm.cmd handling, system-Node fallback, and environment-cache isolation were not exercised in this OpenCode web reproduction.
