feat(deps-restorer): link the variant of the one platform supportedArchitectures lists - #17707
Implements the link rule of the platform variants RFC. When supportedArchitectures names exactly one platform and not current, a package with platform variants links that platform's variant, together with the dependencies that variant declares. The aim is preparing a node_modules for another machine. A list names one platform by one entry. The {os, cpu, libc} form names one when os and cpu each hold one value and no axis says current; an unset libc keeps that form's meaning, the host's C library. A floor or ABI the listed platform does not state is not met for linking, so linux-x64 links the version's own archive where the only Linux variant needs glibc 2.28, and linux-x64-manylinux_2_28 links that variant.
One choice, one selection path
VariantPlatforms { runtime, linked } is derived once from supportedArchitectures. It replaces the lone runtime selector that the fetch, cache-key and slot-hash paths already carried. for_variations picks runtime for a runtime's archives (unchanged behavior) and linked for a registry package's variants.
The selectors move out of install_package_by_snapshot/runtime.rs into a new leaf module, platform_selection. That module also holds the named_platform builder introduced with the fetch rule in feat(deps-restorer): fetch the variants supportedArchitectures needs into the store #17684. The dependency walk, the deps graph and the installability check read it without depending on the installer, which keeps the crate's module cycle from growing.
The dependency walk gets the choice on GroupSelection (linking_for(supportedArchitectures), and linking_as(other) for derived walks). Every walk of an install already receives that value, so the variant snapshot <name>@<version>/variants/<tag> the walk follows matches the archive that is linked. Walks over the current lockfile need nothing: it records the variants already selected.
The same choice drives the fetch, the warm cache key, the slot hash (so a global virtual store keeps one slot per linked archive), the side-effects cache keys (build_deps_subgraph), and the installability check of a version published with variants only.
Relinking
A local virtual-store slot's path does not name the archive, so after a change of the setting or of the host the slot may hold another variant. Nothing recorded which archive a slot holds: the store index is keyed by integrity but says nothing about a slot, the workspace state records the setting but not the host, and the current lockfile lists every variant without the one linked. So each slot of a package with platform variants records, beside the package directory, the integrity of the archive it was imported from (<slot>/.pnpm-linked-archive). The plan pass treats a slot as stale, and the import replaces it, when that record differs from the integrity the lockfile lists for the chosen archive, or is missing. Changing the setting or the host relinks the package on the next install, even from a frozen lockfile. The record is written after the virtual-store pass, for every materialized variant slot whose fetch did not fail.
Picking up newly listed platforms in pnpm fetch and in installs that reuse store entries. The extra archives are still fetched only when a package is downloaded. The docs keep stating both limits.
Test plan
platform_selection::tests:
one listed foreign platform is the linked one;
[current, X] and two platforms link the host's;
the object form naming one platform links it, and with an unset axis, current, or two values links the host's;
an unstated floor links the any archive, and linux-s390x-manylinux_2_28 links the floored variant.
create_virtual_store::tests::slot_reuse::a_slot_holding_another_archive_is_replaced: an archive whose package.json has no variant field is replaced when its record names another archive or is missing, and kept when it names the chosen one.
supportedArchitectures: [<foreign>] links the foreign variant and installs the dependency only it declares;
switching to [current] and running install --frozen-lockfile relinks the host's variant;
the object form naming the foreign platform links its variant.
The fetch-rule end-to-end tests still pass.
deps-restorer and package-manager: 1910 tests pass.
pnpm-cli pnpr_install, install, fetch, optional, frozen and supported_architectures suites: all pass except four failures that also fail on main locally.
clippy, dylint and crate-layers check are clean.
Written by an agent (Claude Code, claude-opus-5-5).
supportedArchitectures selects a package variant for linking when exactly one platform is specified without current; dependencies are installed from that variant as well.
When the selected platform omits a required version floor or ABI, pnpm links another fitting variant or the package’s own archive.
Changing the setting or host platform relinks packages on the next install, including frozen-lockfile installs, without requiring a lockfile change.
Documentation
Clarified platform selection, compatibility requirements, and relinking behavior for supportedArchitectures.
…chitectures lists
When supportedArchitectures lists exactly one platform and not current,
a package with platform variants links that platform's variant and the
dependencies it declares. One choice, derived once from the setting,
drives the dependency walk, the fetch, the slot hash, the side-effects
cache keys, and the installability check, so a linked archive is always
paired with its own dependencies. A floor the listed platform does not
state is not met, so the version's own archive is linked instead.
The selectors move into a platform_selection module that the walk and
the installability check read without depending on the installer. A slot
that holds another variant than the one the install links is replaced,
since its path does not name the archive, so changing the setting
relinks the package, even from a frozen lockfile.

It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The change adds selection of linked package variants from supportedArchitectures. It carries that selection through lockfile traversal, package materialization, archive tracking, and install-state checks. Integration tests and documentation cover variant selection and relinking after platform-setting changes.
Adds separate runtime and linked platform selection. When supportedArchitectures names exactly one platform without current, that platform can determine the linked package variant. The selection is passed through archive fetching, dependency graphs, virtual-store layouts, and cache keys.
Lockfile walks and materialization pnpm/crates/deps-restorer/src/current_lockfile*, pnpm/crates/package-manager/src/install/*, pnpm/crates/package-manager/src/install_state/local_file_deps*, pnpm/crates/package-manager/src/optimistic_repeat_install/*, pnpm/crates/cli/src/cli_args/install/pnpr_lockfile.rs
Dependency-group selections now apply supported-architecture linking when building materialization closures and checking selected snapshots. Wanted-lockfile construction can walk every variant.
Archive tracking and build planning pnpm/crates/deps-restorer/src/create_virtual_store/*, pnpm/crates/deps-restorer/src/install_frozen_lockfile/*, pnpm/crates/deps-restorer/src/build_modules*, pnpm/crates/deps-restorer/src/build_options.rs, pnpm/crates/deps-restorer/src/shared_side_effects*
Records selected archive integrity for imported packages and checks it when reusing slots or hoisted packages. Build and shared-side-effects planning receive platform-selection data.
Workspace state and validation pnpm/crates/workspace-state/src/lib.rs, pnpm/crates/package-manager/src/install/workspace_state/write.rs, pnpm/crates/package-manager/src/install_state*, pnpm/crates/package-manager/src/optimistic_repeat_install/freshness.rs, pnpm/crates/lockfile/src/lazy_lockfile.rs
Adds linked-platform state and checks it during freshness and materialized-shape validation. Adds non-loading access to an already parsed lockfile.
Tests and user-facing notes pnpm/crates/cli/tests/suite/pnpr_install*, pnpm/crates/deps-restorer/src/platform_selection/tests.rs, pnpm/crates/deps-restorer/src/create_virtual_store/tests/slot_reuse.rs, pnpm/crates/package-manager/src/install_state/settings/tests.rs, pnpm/docs/*, .changeset/pnpm-supported-architectures-link.md
Adds coverage for foreign-platform selection, dependencies, frozen-lockfile relinking, linked-platform state, and archive-slot reuse. Documentation and the changeset describe selection, floor handling, fallback, and relinking.
After upgrading, a workspace state written before linkedPlatform existed can report "Already up to date" while node_modules still holds the variant linked for another host or setting. A frozen install or reinstall is then needed to relink. Make the freshness check read the lockfile when the recorded platform is missing before merging.

HEAD and main are measured on the same runner. The tolerance is 5% of the main median or 2 ms, whichever is larger. A regression requires both the median slowdown and the gap between the fastest retained HEAD sample and slowest retained main sample to exceed this tolerance, after trimming up to 10% from each tail. Suspected regressions are rerun once with target order reversed and only fail if reproduced. This conservative noise guard is not a statistical confidence interval.
Inconclusive rows do not fail the check. They remain visible for performance review. Bencher retains absolute minimum timings for historical tracking; historical alerts do not gate this PR. Sequential measurements can still be affected by runner drift.
Each install runs 2 more times per revision, untimed, under strace --follow-forks --summary-only. A file syscall regresses when HEAD's fewest calls exceed main's most by more than 2% of main or 50 calls, whichever is larger. mkdir and mkdirat count only the calls that created a directory, since concurrent installs fail a varying number with EEXIST. A syscall whose identical runs differ by more than that tolerance is reported unstable and not gated, unless HEAD's fewest calls also exceed main's most by more than the tolerance plus that difference. Each scenario lists its largest change relative to its tolerance and every row that is not within tolerance.

Same install as the isolated fresh-restore hot/hot scenario, into the shared virtual store, the layout pnpm 12 installs into by default. Scenarios run on separate machines, so compare main and branch within each table.
Scenario: Store only: unlocked direct deps, cold cache + hot store
Store-only install (enableModulesDir: false, per-file store index, trusted lockfile) against a lockfile missing the direct dependencies that have peers, with the metadata cache wiped per iteration: the install resolves those from the registry, reuses their subtrees from the lockfile and checks the store, linking nothing. Direct installs only.
Scenario: Cargo: repeat install, hot cache + hot store
Frozen repeat install of a Cargo workspace (cargo.enabled: true) whose crates are already materialized in <storeDir>/v11/crates/ and linked into .pnpm/crates/crates-io. Direct installs only.

…ale slots by integrity
The object form of supportedArchitectures now names one platform the
way a one-entry list does: when os and cpu each hold one value and no
axis says current. An unset libc is the host's C library there, as
everywhere in that form.
A slot of a package with platform variants now records, beside the
package directory, the integrity of the archive it was imported from.
A slot whose record differs from the integrity the lockfile lists for
the archive the install links, or that has none, is replaced. This
replaces reading the archive's package.json variant field, which an
archive need not have, and catches a change of host as well as of the
setting.

Link platform variants named by supportedArchitectures
✨ Enhancement🧪 Tests📝 Documentation🕐 40+ Minutes
AI Description
• Link a single named platform’s variant and its dependencies instead of the host’s.
• Keep archive selection consistent across fetching, lockfile walks, caches, and installability
checks.
• Relink stale virtual-store slots when the selected archive changes, including during frozen
installs.
The following are alternative approaches to this PR:
1. Store linked integrity in workspace state
➕ Avoids a sidecar file for each variant package slot.
➖ Workspace state does not inherently identify each slot’s contents, particularly after a host change or partial materialization.
Recommendation: Keep the shared selection and per-slot integrity records. Selection must agree across dependency traversal and materialization, while a slot-local record identifies contents that the local slot path and lockfile alone cannot distinguish. The existing global-store hash can continue distinguishing archives without sidecars.

1. Warm installs can keep the wrong variant✗ Dismissed
Description
check_settings_and_workspace_freshness passes check.lockfile.loaded() to
linked_platform_missing, but an unparsed lazy lockfile yields None, which that function treats
as having no registry variants. When a prior state lacks linkedPlatform and an unchanged on-disk
lockfile contains registry variants, the optimistic install can report the tree current without
checking whether its archive matches the host.
2. Frozen installs miss variant tarballs✓ Resolved
The package_keys() method in FrozenLocalTarballCheck now applies with_selected_variant_snapshots
using the groups' walked platform before calling collect_reachable, so the frozen tarball check
walks the selected variant's snapshot, as the suggested fix requires. Metadata is still read from
the original lockfile. A regression test verifies that a local tarball only the linked variant
depends on is verified.
Description
compute_frozen_skip_set now selects the linked platform, but frozen tarball verification still
discovers targets by walking the unmodified lockfile. When the selected variant alone declares a
local tarball dependency, that walk omits the tarball, so replacing it in place can pass frozen
integrity verification.
3. A package archive can corrupt the store✓ Resolved
write_record no longer writes through the existing path; it now calls pnpm_fs::write_atomic to
replace the record file, so a hardlinked store inode is not truncated. A regression test
(linked_archives/tests.rs) checks that a hard-linked store file keeps its original bytes. This uses
an atomic replace rather than the suggested temp-file-then-rename code, but addresses the same
corruption.
Description
record_hoisted_archives writes the integrity string over a package-root .pnpm-linked-archive
file after importing the package. If an archive contains an ordinary file with that name and hoisted
import hardlinks it from the shared store, the write truncates the shared inode, corrupting the
stored file and any other copy linked to it.
View high (3) 4. Filtered installs drop variant packages✓ Resolved
The alias-merging function add_dependencies (and with_every_variant_dependency /
with_original_variant_snapshots) was removed from variant_snapshots.rs. The wanted-lockfile merge
now uses GroupSelection::all().walking_every_variant(), which walks each variant's own snapshot key
(<name>@<version>/variants/<tag>) independently via variant_keys_by_base and the new
VariantWalk::Every mode, so no alias-keyed merge occurs and each variant's transitive dependencies
are kept. A regression test with conflicting alias resolutions (sharp/semver/libvips) asserts the
merged snapshots and packages equal the original lockfile.
Description
add_dependencies merges variant dependencies by alias and discards later resolutions for the same
alias. When two variants require different versions under that alias, full_closure follows only
the retained resolution, so the filtered wanted lockfile can omit the other variant’s package and
its transitive dependencies.
5. Skipped packages can retain a stale archive✓ Resolved
record_linked_archives now receives only the snapshot keys this pass actually imported
(plan.materialized_keys(), passed from pipeline.rs as imported) instead of all wanted snapshots,
so installability-skipped snapshots with an old slot on disk are no longer stamped with the selected
integrity. A new test (a_slot_the_install_did_not_import_is_not_recorded) verifies a skipped slot
keeps no record and is replaced on a later import. This addresses the finding by restricting the
recorder to imported slots rather than by the suggested exact fix, but it achieves the same effect.
Description
record_linked_archives writes the selected integrity for every wanted snapshot except a failed
fetch, including snapshots skipped before materialization. If a skipped package has an older slot on
disk, the new record can certify that untouched archive as current when a later install makes the
package installable.
The filtered wanted-lockfile merge (merge_filtered_wanted_lockfile in current_lockfile.rs) no longer
splices the host-selected closure. It now walks with with_every_variant_dependency, so the closure
keeps dependencies of every variant, and then calls with_original_variant_snapshots to restore the
original per-key snapshots and all variant snapshot keys. The written wanted lockfile therefore
retains dependencies declared by foreign variants, so later walks can recover them. A regression
test (a_filtered_install_keeps_every_variant_in_the_wanted_lockfile) checks that the merged
snapshots equal the original. The fix is a different approach (keep all variants rather than thread
the selected platform through the closure).
Description
materialization_closure now selects variant dependencies through groups.walked_platform(), but
the filtered wanted-lockfile splice calls full_closure with a host-default group and removes the
variant snapshot keys. When a filtered install names one foreign platform, its written wanted
lockfile retains the host variant's dependency wiring, so subsequent walks cannot recover
dependencies declared only by the linked foreign archive.

Description
The assertion at lines 166-167 accepts either the package-local dependency path or the hoisted

the changed effect the PR claims.

The changeset was rewritten so the first sentence no longer contains the "to prepare node_modules
for another machine" justification clause; the sentence now states the behavior ("pnpm links that
platform's variant ... together with that variant's dependencies"), and the reason-bearing clause
was removed. The clause was dropped rather than reworded to a different sentence, which addresses
the finding's requested remediation.
Description
The first sentence of the changeset entry ends with the clause to prepare node_modules` for

inside the sentence that otherwise states the change, so the release note mixes intent into the

9. Host change can keep the wrong archive 📜 Skill insight⛨ Security
Description
linked_integrity returns None when the selected variant has no integrity, and
slot_holds_other_variant then treats the slot as current, so a tarball variant whose integrity
field is optional keeps the previously linked archive after a change of the setting or host. The
record in record_linked_archives is skipped too, so no later install can detect the mismatch, and
the PR's promise that such changes relink the package does not hold for these variants.
ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs
Evidence
The rule requires that absent integrity fields cause rejection rather than a silent skip.
linked_integrity maps a missing integrity to None, and the caller treats that as no stale slot,
so a tarball variant without integrity is never replaced when its linked archive should change.

## Issue description
In `linked_archives.rs`, `linked_integrity` returns `None` when the selected variant has no integrity. `slot_holds_other_variant` then returns `false`, so a slot holding another archive is kept after a change of `supportedArchitectures` or the host.

The changeset's first paragraph joins the floor/ABI sentence to its consequence with a colon: `is

release note in the style the changeset rules set.
+When `supportedArchitectures` names exactly one platform and not `current`, pnpm links that platform's variant of a package published with platform variants, together with that variant's dependencies. This holds for the list form and for the `os`, `cpu`, and `libc` form.

Changing the setting relinks the package on the next install, even from a frozen lockfile.

an explanatory clause. No list or example follows it.
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution
## Issue description
The changeset entry joins two sentences with a colon that introduces an explanation, not a list or example, which breaks the changeset colon convention.
## Fix Focus Areas
- .changeset/pnpm-supported-architectures-link.md[5-5]
## Recommended Fix
Replace `is not linked for it: pnpm links another variant that fits, or the version's own archive.` with two sentences, for example: `A variant whose floor or ABI the listed platform does not state is not linked for it. pnpm links another variant that fits, or the version's own archive.` Keep the rest of the entry unchanged.

settle_materialized now passes only the keys this pass imported (plan.materialized_keys()) instead
of the whole wanted snapshot map, so record_linked_archives no longer scans or stats unchanged warm
slots. Records are written only for imported slots (record_linked_archives iterates imported,
skipping snapshots the install did not import). Platform selection is still per-snapshot rather than
computed once, but the linear rescan of the full wanted map is removed.
Description
settle_materialized scans the entire wanted snapshot map after every non-hoisted materialization
pass, and record_linked_archives stats and reads each existing variant slot even when its record
is already current. Those slots have already incurred a record check during warm planning, so an
unchanged install with many variants pays another linear round of filesystem operations and repeated
platform selection.
In drift.rs, reached_importers now calls
GroupSelection::all().linking_for(check.layout.supported_architectures) instead of plain
GroupSelection::all(), so the reachability walk applies the configured linked-platform selection.
This addresses the finding's core complaint that host-variant edges were used to discover linked
workspace importers. The current_lockfile.rs selection was also switched to
check.layout.supported_architectures, and the fix uses the same configured platform source.
Description
The optimistic repeat-install comparison uses the configured linked platform, but
reached_importers still computes the projects to check with GroupSelection::all(), which selects
the host variant. If a foreign variant reaches a workspace importer through a link: dependency
that the host variant lacks, that importer is omitted from the optimistic check's held-project set.
16. Record-file hard-link test lacks a Windows case 📜 Skill insight▣ Testability
Description
The new test a_record_hard_linked_to_a_store_file_leaves_the_store_file_unchanged covers hard-link
handling, the path where replacing versus writing through a file behaves differently across
platforms. It only builds the link with fs::hard_link in a temporary directory with no
Windows-specific case, so a Windows regression in the replace-over-hard-link behaviour of
write_atomic would not be caught.
+fn a_record_hard_linked_to_a_store_file_leaves_the_store_file_unchanged() {+ let dir = tempfile::tempdir().unwrap();
Relevance
● Weak
Recent requests for Windows-specific hardlink tests were repeatedly rejected (hardlink mode and
hardlink materialization tests), a close match to this finding.
ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs
Evidence
The PR changes hard-link handling of the record file, and the rule requires tests for such changes
to exercise Windows behaviour or include an explicit Windows-specific case. The added test is a
single platform-neutral case with no Windows coverage of the replace-instead-of-write-through path.
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution
## Issue description
The new hard-link test for `write_record` runs one platform-neutral case. The change it guards touches hard-link handling, which the review rules require to be covered on Windows as well.
## Fix Focus Areas
- pnpm/crates/deps-restorer/src/create_virtual_store/linked_archives/tests.rs[4-16]
## Recommended Fix
Run the existing hard-link test on the Windows CI matrix, or add a `#[cfg(windows)]` variant that uses a store file and record in a temporary directory and asserts the same two equality checks. Confirm the store file keeps its content after `write_record`.

17. Atomic record write has no competing-write test 📜 Skill insight▣ Testability
Description
write_record now publishes the .pnpm-linked-archive record through pnpm_fs::write_atomic, so a
reader sees either the old record or the new one. The only test added in linked_archives/tests.rs
is a single-threaded hard-link check, and nothing runs two writers against the same record to
confirm the final file is always one complete integrity string. A regression back to a non-atomic
write would still pass this test, and record_names would then read a truncated record as a
mismatch or as a match.
+pub(crate) fn write_record(record: &Path, linked: &str) {+ if let Err(error) = pnpm_fs::write_atomic(record, linked.as_bytes()) {
Relevance
● Weak
Recent competing-writer test suggestions for atomic writes were rejected (lockfile save, workspace
state), so this test-gap finding likely gets rejected too.
ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs
Evidence
The PR changes write behaviour to atomic publication of a completion record, and the rule asks for a
test that performs competing writes or simulates concurrency and asserts a valid final state. The
added test only covers the hard-link case and does not exercise concurrent writers.
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution
## Issue description
The linked-archive record is now written with `pnpm_fs::write_atomic` in `write_record`. No test checks that concurrent writers leave a complete record, so a change back to a non-atomic write would go unnoticed.
## Fix Focus Areas

- pnpm/crates/deps-restorer/src/create_virtual_store/linked_archives/tests.rs[1-16]
## Recommended Fix
Add a test in `linked_archives/tests.rs` that spawns several threads calling `write_record` on the same path with different integrity strings. After joining them, assert that `fs::read_to_string` returns exactly one of the written values.

- The hoisted linker records the archive each variant package holds, and
imports it again when the record names another archive.
- A slot is recorded only when this pass imported it, so a skipped
snapshot's old slot is not certified, and kept slots are not reread.
- A filtered install keeps every variant's snapshot in the wanted
lockfile, which stays the same on every platform.
- The walks, the build phase, and the side-effects planner read the
effective supportedArchitectures, CLI overrides included.
- The local-tarball and repeat-install checks follow the linked variant.

On the two qodo findings that are only in the review summary, both fixed in 32363e7:
Warm installs repeatedly read slot records: linked-archive records are now written only for the slots a pass imported, without reading them first. Slots the plan kept are not read again after the plan's own check.
Foreign workspace links evade rechecks:reached_importers in the repeat-install drift check now walks with GroupSelection::all().linking_for(...), the effective linked platform. A workspace project reached only through a foreign variant's link: dependency is then part of the checked set.

Hash global-store slots with the effective architecture selection.
--os, --cpu, and --libc are merged into InstallProjects::supported_architectures, which materialization uses. VirtualStoreLayout::new hashes only Config::supported_architectures, so two installs with different CLI selections can address the same global-store slot. The linked-archive record detects the different integrity and triggers a re-import, but it rewrites that same slot instead of isolating the variants. Pass the effective supported_architectures value into layout construction and hashing.

Keep omitted floors unknown for linked-platform selection.
When one listed platform matches the host and omits floors, the shared [named] arm calls named_platform, which returns the host selector. Linking then probes the host's floors and can select a floor-constrained variant that the listed platform did not state. Build the linked selector directly from the stated platform here. Keep named_platform unchanged for extra-platform fetching.

when the lockfile has registry variants, so v11 and this pnpm can share

Summary
Implements the link rule of the platform variants RFC. When
supportedArchitecturesnames exactly one platform and notcurrent, a package with platform variants links that platform's variant, together with the dependencies that variant declares. The aim is preparing anode_modulesfor another machine. A list names one platform by one entry. The{os, cpu, libc}form names one whenosandcpueach hold one value and no axis sayscurrent; an unsetlibckeeps that form's meaning, the host's C library. A floor or ABI the listed platform does not state is not met for linking, solinux-x64links the version's own archive where the only Linux variant needs glibc 2.28, andlinux-x64-manylinux_2_28links that variant.One choice, one selection path
VariantPlatforms { runtime, linked }is derived once fromsupportedArchitectures. It replaces the lone runtime selector that the fetch, cache-key and slot-hash paths already carried.for_variationspicksruntimefor a runtime's archives (unchanged behavior) andlinkedfor a registry package's variants.install_package_by_snapshot/runtime.rsinto a new leaf module,platform_selection. That module also holds thenamed_platformbuilder introduced with the fetch rule in feat(deps-restorer): fetch the variants supportedArchitectures needs into the store #17684. The dependency walk, the deps graph and the installability check read it without depending on the installer, which keeps the crate's module cycle from growing.GroupSelection(linking_for(supportedArchitectures), andlinking_as(other)for derived walks). Every walk of an install already receives that value, so the variant snapshot<name>@<version>/variants/<tag>the walk follows matches the archive that is linked. Walks over the current lockfile need nothing: it records the variants already selected.build_deps_subgraph), and the installability check of a version published with variants only.Relinking
A local virtual-store slot's path does not name the archive, so after a change of the setting or of the host the slot may hold another variant. Nothing recorded which archive a slot holds: the store index is keyed by integrity but says nothing about a slot, the workspace state records the setting but not the host, and the current lockfile lists every variant without the one linked. So each slot of a package with platform variants records, beside the package directory, the integrity of the archive it was imported from (
<slot>/.pnpm-linked-archive). The plan pass treats a slot as stale, and the import replaces it, when that record differs from the integrity the lockfile lists for the chosen archive, or is missing. Changing the setting or the host relinks the package on the next install, even from a frozen lockfile. The record is written after the virtual-store pass, for every materialized variant slot whose fetch did not fail.Not in this PR (next one)
