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.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 3663ade

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — Vite+-managed provider update checks now use npm’s install-time release policy instead of advertising releases that cannot yet be installed. Installation commands and product defaults remain unchanged, keeping the change limited to update discovery.

Walkthrough

Vite+ maintenance now probes its managed Node installation’s npm for the latest installable package version and uses that version in advisories. Vite+ cache keys include the environment, and Mise reuses the shared environment-hashing helper. Tests cover release-age filtering 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 checks Vite+’s current Node installation and runs its adjacent npm executable to pack the latest package. It parses a matching tarball name to get the version. Invalid paths, failed probes, and invalid output return null. Mise now uses the shared environment-hashing helper for its latest-version 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 installer, package, and environment hash. Tests cover release-age filtering, no filtering, and fallback to npm view when Vite+ reports system PATH.

Vite+ update advisories now respect npm's release-age policy in the common case. In some environments, such as an incompatible system Node first on PATH or a global npmrc that sets a policy, the advisory may still be wrong. These are small follow-ups and do not block merging.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the Vite+ provider and the npm release-age policy, which match the changeset: a Vite+-specific latest-version lookup via npm pack that respects min-release-age. It uses a conventional commit format and is one short sentence. It does not cover the fallback or the cache key change, which is acceptable.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has Problem, Change, Scope, and Verification sections with substantive content. Scope links issue #32326 and explains why no separate issue is needed for the bug. Verification lists focused tests, the check command results, a real-app check, and the npm behaviour transcript. It also states what was not checked (Windows and macOS execution, screenshots). The template's trailing agent-model line is missing, and the author says the description was AI-assisted but does not name the model and harness. These gaps are minor.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The whole-PR diff (merge base fb2e5a0 to head 3663ade) contains the Vite+ latest-version probe in maintenanceResolver.ts, its environment-sensitive cache key, and the policy-aware test in maintenanceResolver.test.ts. These implement #32326. The Mise cache key change now uses the shared environment hashing helper. This is a refactor that supports the shared cache-key path used by the new lookup. It keeps existing Mise cache behavior, as the earlier review also found. No unrelated functional change was identified in the summary.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #32326 has two coding requirements. (1) Vite+ installs: the offer must not appear for a version that npm does not install under min-release-age. Addressed. The new Vite+ lookup runs npm pack --dry-run --json=false --global <pkg>@latest through the Vite+ bundled npm and reads the tarball name. The test does not offer a Vite+ update npm's release-age policy will not install covers this behavior. (2) Native-command installs (opencode upgrade): the issue states that this path also offers an update that npm cannot install (ETARGET, exit 1). Not addressed. The PR states that native updaters keep npm view, and the whole-PR summary shows no change to the native opencode upgrade lookup or to any native-command test. The PR objectives and author comments call the native path a separate change. That scope statement does not remove the requirement from the current issue text, so the native-command requirement stays unmet.

Resolution

Address the native-command case described in #32326. Ensure T3 Code does not offer an OpenCode update that opencode upgrade cannot install under the npm release-age policy, or clearly report that the release is waiting on the policy. Add an automated test for this native-command behavior. If the native path is moved to a separate issue or PR, update the linked issue relationship or the PR scope so the requirement is tracked explicitly.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Failed pre-merge checks:
- Linked Issues check:
Address the native-command case described in #32326. Ensure T3 Code does not
offer an OpenCode update that `opencode upgrade` cannot install under the npm
release-age policy, or clearly report that the release is waiting on the policy.
Add an automated test for this native-command behavior. If the native path is
moved to a separate issue or PR, update the linked issue relationship or the PR
scope so the requirement is tracked explicitly.

Track the Windows test exclusion.

This new skipIf excludes Windows without a tracking issue. Add the required preceding // quarantine: #… comment with the reason, or make the fixture portable.

As per path instructions, “it.skip and related skips require a tracking issue comment on the preceding line.”

Match the installer's npm configuration prefix.

If the normal global npmrc sets before, this probe can resolve an older version and suppress an available update. npm derives its default globalconfig location from prefix, but Vite+ 1.4.0 overrides npm_config_prefix with a fresh installation directory. The updater therefore does not read the same default global npmrc. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Match the updater's prefix-dependent configuration when probing. Preserve an explicitly configured globalconfig.

Run the probe with the managed Node on PATH.

On POSIX, npm's entrypoint uses #!/usr/bin/env node. Selecting the adjacent npm does not select its Node interpreter. If an incompatible system Node precedes Vite+ shims on PATH, this probe fails. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

runProbe then returns null, and the configured lookup can advertise the policy-blocked release again. Prepend path.dirname(node.bin_path) to the probe's PATH. Vite+ 1.4.0 explicitly prepends that directory for its installer. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Follow-up recordings: base, head. These show discovery and refresh; the base popover interaction did not complete.

Not shown:

• The Update now reinstall loop was not captured: follow-up automation clicked the update indicator but the details popover did not open, so Update now was never executed.
• Automatic availability after the three-day window expires was not observed: OpenCode 2.2.7 becomes eligible at 2026-11-13 10:33 UTC, beyond the task budget.
