Patch Changes

• convertEnginesRuntimeToDependencies: switch the runtime-dependency write to Object.defineProperty so the CodeQL js/prototype-polluting-assignment rule treats the assignment as safe regardless of the property name (follow-up to #​11609).

• Address CodeQL static-analysis findings: guard manifest dependency writes against prototype-polluting keys (__proto__, constructor, prototype), and replace a potentially super-linear semver-detection regex in registry 404 hints with an O(n) parser.

• Strip sec-fetch-* headers from outgoing HTTP requests. These headers are automatically added by undici's fetch() implementation per the Fetch spec but cause Azure DevOps Artifacts to return HTTP 400 for uncached upstream packages, as ADO interprets them as browser requests #​11572.

• Fix minimumReleaseAge handling for cached abbreviated metadata.

  The version-spec cache fast path no longer rethrows ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME under strictPublishedByCheck; it now falls through to the registry-fetch path, consistent with the adjacent mtime-gated cache block.

  When the registry returns 304 Not Modified for a package whose cached metadata is abbreviated (no per-version time), pnpm now re-fetches with fullMetadata: true if minimumReleaseAge is active and the package was modified after the cutoff. The upgraded metadata is persisted to disk so subsequent installs don't repeat the fetch. Previously the abbreviated meta was used as-is and the maturity check fell back to its warn-and-skip path, silently bypassing the quarantine and emitting a misleading "metadata is missing the time field" warning.

  Closes #​11619.

• Fix pnpm upgrade --interactive --latest -r not respecting named catalog groups. Previously, upgrading a dependency using a named catalog (e.g. "catalog:foo") would incorrectly rewrite package.json to "catalog:" and place the updated version in the default catalog instead of the named one #​10115.

• Fixed optimisticRepeatInstall skipping pnpm-lock.yaml merge conflict resolution when the existing node_modules state appears up to date.

• Fix minimumReleaseAge / resolutionMode: time-based installs failing on lockfiles whose time: block is missing entries. The npm-resolver's peek-from-store fast path now surfaces publishedAt from the lockfile rather than discarding it, and falls through to a registry metadata fetch when the time-based cutoff can't be computed from the data on hand.

Patch Changes

• Skip installability validation when scanning workspace projects in checkDepsStatus (run by verifyDepsBeforeRun). Previously the status check called findWorkspaceProjects, which validates each project's engines and os/cpu/libc and warns about useless fields in non-root manifests — work that the install pipeline already performs. With no nodeVersion threaded through, the engine check also fell back to the system Node from PATH and emitted spurious "Unsupported engine" warnings before scripts ran. Status-only callers now use findWorkspaceProjectsNoCheck; install paths continue to validate.
• Fixed pnpm add <alias>:@&#8203;scope/pkg for named registries. The local resolver was claiming any specifier containing / as a local directory, so pnpm add bit:@​teambit/bit (with bit configured under namedRegistries) installed a bogus link to bit:@​teambit/bit/ instead of resolving from the configured registry. The local resolver now runs after the named-registry resolver in the resolution chain.
• Updated @zkochan/cmd-shim to 9.0.3. The sh shim it writes for .cmd / .bat targets now escapes the /C switch as //C, so it survives the path translation Git Bash applies when launching cmd.exe. Without this, a bare /C was rewritten to C:\ before reaching cmd.exe — the switch was dropped, cmd started interactively, and the calling script saw the cmd banner instead of the wrapped command's output. Affects any cmd-shim-wrapped batch script invoked from Git Bash / MSYS / Cygwin on Windows. See pnpm/cmd-shim#55.

Minor Changes

• Added pnpm audit signatures to verify ECDSA registry signatures for installed packages against keys from /-/npm/v1/keys #​7909. Scoped registries are respected, and registries without signing keys are skipped.

• Added support for installing packages from the GitHub Packages npm registry via a built-in gh: prefix (e.g. pnpm add gh:@​acme/private), and, more broadly, for arbitrary named registries in the style of vlt's named-registry aliases. Authentication is picked up from the existing per-URL .npmrc entries (e.g. //npm.pkg.github.com/:_authToken=...), so no separate auth mechanism is required.

  Additional aliases — or an override for the built-in gh alias, for GitHub Enterprise Server — can be configured under namedRegistries in pnpm-workspace.yaml:

  namedRegistries:
    gh: https://npm.pkg.github.example.com/
    work: https://npm.work.example.com/

  With this, work:@​corp/lib@^2.0.0 resolves against https://npm.work.example.com/. #​8941.

• Allow setting sbom spec version using --sbom-spec-version #​11389.

• Add --no-runtime flag (config: runtime=false) to skip installing runtime entries (e.g. Node.js downloaded via devEngines.runtime) without modifying the lockfile. The lockfile keeps the runtime entry so frozen-lockfile validation still passes; only the runtime fetch and .bin linking are skipped. Useful in CI matrices where the runtime is provisioned externally (e.g. via pnpm runtime -g set node <version>) before pnpm install runs.

• Added the pnpm bugs command that opens a package's bug tracker URL in the browser. With no arguments, it reads the current project's package.json; with one or more package names, it fetches each package's metadata from the registry and opens its bug tracker. Falls back to <repository>/issues when the bugs field is missing #​11279.

• Added pnpm owner command to manage package owners on the registry.

Patch Changes

• Added "published X ago by Y" information to the pnpm view command output, similar to npm view. This is useful when comparing against minimumReleaseAge.

  For example, pnpm view pnpm now shows:

  published 17 hours ago by GitHub Actions
  

• pnpm publish now honors the configured HTTP/HTTPS proxy (including https_proxy/http_proxy/no_proxy environment variables) when polling the registry's doneUrl during the web-based authentication flow. Previously the poll bypassed the proxy, causing the registry to respond 403 from a different source IP and the login to never complete #​11561.

• pnpm add -g now installs each space-separated package into its own isolated directory by default. To bundle multiple packages into the same isolated install (so that they share dependencies and are removed together), pass them as a comma-separated list. For example:

  • pnpm add -g foo bar installs foo and bar as two independent globals — removing one does not affect the other.
  • pnpm add -g foo,bar qar bundles foo and bar into a single isolated install while qar is installed on its own.

  Related: #​11587.

• pnpm runtime set <name> <version> no longer fails in the root of a multi-package workspace with the ADDING_TO_ROOT error. Installing the workspace root is a valid target for a runtime, so the command now bypasses that safety check.

• Fix pnpm --version hanging for the lifetime of the worker pool after the version was printed. main.ts's --version short-circuit returned before reaching the command-handler finally that calls finishWorkers(), so the worker pool that switchCliVersion had spawned during integrity resolution stayed alive and held the Node event loop open. The CLI entry now runs finishWorkers() from its own finally, so every exit path tears the pool down.

  Repro: pnpm --version in a workspace whose devEngines.packageManager version already matches the running pnpm + onFail: "download". switchCliVersion resolves the integrity (spawning workers), finds nothing to swap, returns. The version prints, then the process hangs.

Patch Changes

• Fixed installation of GitLab-hosted dependencies. pnpm now downloads the tarball from https://gitlab.com/<user>/<project>/-/archive/<sha>/<project>-<sha>.tar.gz instead of the GitLab API endpoint that contained an encoded slash (%2F) between user and project. The encoded slash both triggered 406 Not Acceptable responses from GitLab and produced virtual store directory names that Node refused to import (ERR_INVALID_MODULE_SPECIFIER) #​11533.
• Honor NPM_CONFIG_USERCONFIG (and its lowercase npm_config_userconfig form) as a low-priority fallback when locating the user-level .npmrc. This restores compatibility with environments that point npm at a custom auth file via that env var — most notably actions/setup-node, which writes registry credentials to ${runner.temp}/.npmrc and exports NPM_CONFIG_USERCONFIG to reference it. Without this, GitHub Actions workflows using actions/setup-node to authenticate to private registries broke after upgrading to pnpm v11. PNPM-prefixed env vars and npmrcAuthFile from the global config.yaml continue to take precedence #​11539.
• Fix pnpm pack not bundling dependencies listed in bundleDependencies (or bundledDependencies). The npm-packlist upgrade in pnpm 11 changed its API to require the caller to pre-populate the dependency tree, which the wrapper was not doing — bundleDependencies were silently dropped from the tarball #​11519.
• Fixed the pnpm CLI crashing with a confusing SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression flags instead of printing a clear "requires Node.js v22.13" error when launched on an unsupported Node.js version. The Node.js version check in bin/pnpm.mjs was effectively dead code because the static import of the bundled dist/pnpm.mjs was hoisted by the ES module loader and parsed before the check could run #​11546.
• Fixed pnpm --prefix=<dir> install overwriting the existing pnpm-workspace.yaml in <dir> with set this to true or false placeholders. The renamed --prefix option (which maps to dir) was not honored when locating the workspace root, so the workspace manifest's allowBuilds settings were not loaded into config and got clobbered when ignored builds were auto-populated #​11535.
• Fixed pnpm publish --provenance failing with a 422 from the registry when the package version contained semver build metadata (e.g. 1.0.0-canary.0+abc1234). The +<build> segment is now stripped before packing so that the version embedded in the tarball, the metadata sent to the registry, and the sigstore provenance subject all agree #​11518.
