fix(update): support native pnpm self-updates - #4235
Conversation
Global pnpm installations cannot self-update: the updater treats every node_modules installation as npm and forwards npm-only flags (--allow-scripts=bun, --no-audit, --no-fund) to pnpm's global add, which rejects them. The failure lands after the proxy has already been stopped. Carried from #4203 by @oliver-mee, restricted to the update, launcher, service and CLI surface. The install detector now recognises pnpm's isolated, store-link, preserved-symlink and hoisted-group layouts; pnpm gets a native global update path that owns its own group, shims and rollback; and registry integrity is checked before the proxy is stopped rather than after. The shared install-tree verifier is split rather than shared, which answers the blocking review on #4203. verifyInstallTree stays confined to the candidate's own tree: Node's resolver walks the ancestor directory chain, so a global npm candidate at <prefix>/lib/node_modules/@scope/pkg could otherwise satisfy its bundled-Bun requirement from <prefix>/lib/node_modules/bun, which belongs to a different package. Three decisions read that verdict - accepting the stage before the swap, rolling back after it, and reaping the only backup at boot - so a non-self-contained candidate called healthy costs the known-good copy. verifyPnpmInstallTree keeps out-of-package resolution, because pnpm legitimately exposes dependencies through a virtual store, a package-root symlink or a hoisted group, but bounds it: the dependency must be reachable through a root this package instance owns, and an enclosing node_modules counts only when pnpm's own bookkeeping (.pnpm or .modules.yaml) claims it. Ownership is probed lexically rather than filtered from require.resolve output, because the resolver reports the realpath of the resolved file and a dependency reached through pnpm's own symlink comes back as a virtual-store path that no lexical ownership test can recognise. Refs #4203 Closes #4202 Co-authored-by: Oliver Mee <102673257+oliver-mee@users.noreply.github.com>
An audit subagent pointed out that pnpm's default isolated linker puts a package's dependencies beside it inside .pnpm/<pkg>@<ver>/node_modules, while the physical dependency lives in its own .pnpm/<dep>@<ver> entry. The dependency is therefore neither inside the package's own tree nor a child of the group root, which is the layout src/update/install-detection.mjs already recognises first. The verifier handles it, because ownership is probed through the link farm rather than filtered from a resolved realpath, but nothing asserted it. Both directions are covered now: the instance's own link farm satisfies the tree, and a sibling entry belonging to a different instance does not.
Splitting the verifier moved the Bun size gate onto the dependency lookup, which requires node_modules/bun/package.json. The pre-carry gate keyed on the directory alone. Sentinels are the bun/zod subset of the declared dependencies when that subset is non-empty, so a manifest declaring zod but not bun leaves bun out of the sentinel loop entirely: an interrupted extraction that left a truncated binary and no manifest would then ride through and the tree would be called healthy. Verified against origin/dev's own module on the same fixture: both reject with "bundled Bun binary missing or truncated (< 10MB)". Removing the fallback accepts it, so the new test is not vacuous.

The carry gates the #1849 boot probe on the npm layout, because that probe is npm's transactional stage/swap/backup and pnpm rolls back through its own global path instead. The condition went from !codexCliUpdateInspection && isNodeModulesInstall() && !isBunGlobalInstall() to !codexCliUpdateInspection && installMethod === "npm" && isNodeModulesInstall() && ... The launcher-policy oracle asserted the first two clauses as an adjacent string, so inserting a condition between them failed it on Linux and macOS even though the invariant it protects - the codex-cli-update namespace never runs boot repair - is untouched and still evaluated first. The oracle now locates the guard that actually wraps the bootRestoreProbe call and asserts both clauses are in it. Removing either clause still fails it.

Reuse PNPM_BUILD_APPROVAL instead of repeating the literal flag.
Line 206 hard-codes "--allow-build=bun". The same literal appears again at Line 606 and Line 641. src/update/pnpm-global-install.mjs Line 6 already exports PNPM_BUILD_APPROVAL = "--allow-build=bun", and this file already imports from that module at Lines 25-29. The real install command uses the exported constant (pnpm-global-install.mjs Line 513), so the literals here can drift from the command that actually runs.
Note also that installInvocation for pnpm is used only for the resolvability check at Line 209; runPnpmGlobalUpdate builds its own argument list. Add a short comment or rename it so a later reader does not assume these args are executed.

A pnpm preflight failure disables recovery even though the live tree was never touched.
Line 595 derives postUpdateLauncherUsable purely from update.activePath. runPnpmGlobalUpdate never sets activePath on a preflight failure: src/update/pnpm-global-install.mjs Line 486 returns { ok: false, phase: "preflight", error: "pnpm global owner was not pinned" }, and Lines 503 and 505 return preflight failures with only error. So update.activePath is undefined and postUpdateLauncherUsable becomes false.
Failure path, in order:
- Line 486 stops the running proxy (
ocx stop). - Line 566 calls
runPnpmGlobalUpdate. - The
beforeread atpnpm-global-install.mjsLine 497 fails — a transientpnpm list -gfailure, a listing that verification rejects, or thecurrentVersionmismatch at Line 504. No pnpm mutation has run at this point;pnpm add -gis not reached until Line 513. - Line 595 sets
postUpdateLauncherUsable = false. - Line 639 calls
recoverStoppedRuntimeAfterFailure, which returns at Lines 465-468 with "no verified active launcher remains for automatic recovery".
The user is left with a stopped proxy and an unchanged package, which is the exact outcome issue #4202 requires the update path to prevent. The running launcher is provably intact in this case: it is executing, and resolvePnpmGlobalOwner already verified its package tree before the stop.
Gate on the phase, not only on activePath.
🐛 Proposed fix

console.error(`opencodex: ${update.error}${update.rolledBack ? "." : " Manual recovery may be required."}`);

}postUpdateLauncher already holds the verified pre-update launcher from Lines 358-360, so no additional assignment is needed for the preflight case.

Remove the duplicate registrySpawnTarget call and probe availability once.
Line 307 constructs manager with the args ["view", ${PKG}@${version}, "dist.integrity"], but that target is never spawned. The real query target is rebuilt inside the callback at line 310 from the args that checkRegistryPackageIntegrity supplies, and src/update/registry-integrity.mjs:25 builds those args itself.
Two problems follow. First, registrySpawnTarget runs twice for one query. Second, the arg list at line 307 now duplicates the arg list in the shared module. If the shared module changes its query, line 307 keeps gating availability on stale args while still deciding the "skipped" outcome, and nothing fails loudly.
Probe availability with an empty or clearly symbolic arg list, and let the shared module own the query shape.

Surface pnpm's own output on the failure lane when stdio is piped.
Lines 537 and 542 synthesize r with stdout: "" and stderr: "". Line 553 then calls logSpawnOutput("", r) when installStdio === "pipe", so it prints nothing for pnpm.
Trace the piped lane. updateChildStdio() returns "pipe" when OCX_SERVICE=1 or when stdout is not a TTY (lines 226-229). Line 520 forwards capture ? "pipe" : installStdio, so for the install call capture is false and the stdio becomes "pipe". pnpm's output is therefore captured inside the child result held by runPnpmGlobalUpdate, and that function discards it — it reports only pnpm update failed (${statusText(install?.status)}) (src/update/pnpm-global-install.mjs:539-541).
Result: in the service and GUI update lane, a failed pnpm install logs an exit status and nothing else. The npm path in the same lane still logs the manager's output through line 553. The user who most needs the diagnostics — no terminal attached — gets the least.
The update itself still fails safely and rolls back, so this is a diagnosability gap rather than a correctness defect. The smallest fix is to have runPnpmGlobalUpdate return the captured install output and to place it on r.
🔍 Proposed change to keep pnpm diagnostics on the failure lane
if (update.ok) {
postUpdateLauncher = join(update.path, "bin", "ocx.mjs");
postUpdateLauncherUsable = true;
r = { status: 0, signal: null, stdout: "", stderr: "" };
} else {
postUpdateLauncherUsable = Boolean(update.activePath);
if (update.activePath) postUpdateLauncher = join(update.activePath, "bin", "ocx.mjs");
console.error(`⚠️ ${update.error}${update.rolledBack ? "." : " Manual recovery may be required."}`);
- r = { status: 1, signal: null, stdout: "", stderr: "" };
+ // Keep pnpm's own diagnostics for the piped service/GUI lane, where the user
+ // has no terminal and `logSpawnOutput` at line 553 is the only channel.
+ r = { status: 1, signal: null, stdout: update.stdout ?? "", stderr: update.stderr ?? "" };
}This requires runPnpmGlobalUpdate to propagate the captured install output on its failure results in src/update/pnpm-global-install.mjs. If you prefer to keep that module's return shape unchanged, pass a log sink for the install output instead, reusing the existing log callback at line 522.

Preserve verified launcher state after unrelated restart failures.
A successful pnpm update sets activeLauncher from the verified launcher at Line 1935. If finishGuiUpdateRestart then throws, such as after the service-repair timeout in src/update/job.ts Lines 1193-1201, Line 1959 resets activeLauncherVerified to false. The guard at Line 1960 then skips tray restoration, so a Windows tray that was stopped before replacement remains stopped even though the package update completed.
Initialize pnpm launcher verification as false, set it true only after active-launcher resolution succeeds, and do not clear it in this generic catch. Add a regression test for a successful pnpm update followed by a throwing restart path with trayWasRunning.

Gate the five symlink-dependent tests
makePackageFixture creates directory symlinks by default at tests/update/update-pnpm.test.ts:329-330. Those links affect the custom-store, package-root, and missing-dependency tests. The direct symlink cases are the preserved-link test at line 59, the package-root link at line 369, and the group alias at line 420.
On Windows without symlink capability, these calls can throw EPERM. The Windows CI lane is manual, but local Windows runs can still fail before reaching an assertion. Use test.skipIf(!canSymlink) for those five tests. Keep the hoisted test unchanged because it passes linkDependenciesInside: false.

Use ftruncateSync for this size-only Bun fixture
makePackageFixture writes about 10 MiB four times in tests/update/update-pnpm.test.ts:326. The same materialized-buffer pattern already exists in tests/update/update-tree-ownership.test.ts:28 and tests/update/update-transactional.test.ts:28. The checked-in CI workflow applies test and job timeouts, but no rule or budget identifies these writes as a violation. This is optional cleanup that can reduce temporary allocation and write I/O.

🌐 Web query:
For Bun 1.4.2 on Windows, does node:fs symlinkSync(target, path, "dir")require symlink privilege or Developer Mode? DoessymlinkSync(target, path, "junction") avoid that requirement while creating a usable directory link?
💡 Result:
On Windows, the behavior of fs.symlinkSync in Bun (and Node.js) varies significantly based on the type argument used [1][2][3]: 1. Does symlinkSync(target, path, 'dir') require Developer Mode? Yes. When you use the 'dir' type (or allow Bun to autodetect a directory), the function attempts to create a Windows symbolic link [2][3]. Creating symbolic links on Windows requires either the user to have the SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege (which is granted by enabling Windows Developer Mode) or to be running with elevated (Administrator) privileges [4][5][3]. Without these, the operation will fail with an EPERM (operation not permitted) error [4][3]. 2. Does symlinkSync(target, path, 'junction') avoid that requirement? Yes. Using 'junction' as the type argument avoids the need for Developer Mode or Administrator privileges [6][3]. Junctions are a different type of reparse point that can be created by standard users on local NTFS volumes [3]. They are functionally equivalent to directory symbolic links for most directory-traversal operations (e.g., in node modules, file system navigation) [6][3]. Important considerations for junctions: - Absolute Paths: Windows junctions require the target path to be absolute [2][7]. While Bun often handles normalization, ensure the target is absolute to avoid unexpected issues [2]. - NTFS Only: Junctions are only supported on local NTFS-formatted volumes [3]. They will not work on network shares or other file system formats like ReFS or FAT32 [3]. - Directory Only: Junctions can only point to directories, not individual files [2][3]. In summary, for directory links on Windows, using 'junction' is the standard, privilege-free workaround to avoid the EPERM errors associated with 'dir' symlinks [6][3].

Use Windows-compatible directory links in the ownership fixtures.
tests/update/update-tree-ownership.test.ts:174-175, 186-187, 198, and 214-215 use node:fs.symlinkSync(..., "dir"). The project runs Bun 1.4.2 and executes these tests on windows-latest. Windows directory symlinks can require SeCreateSymbolicLinkPrivilege or Developer Mode, so fixture setup can fail before the ownership assertions run. Use a helper that passes "junction" on Windows and "dir" elsewhere. Keep the targets absolute.

Assert the npm-only guard condition.
The launcher guard in bin/ocx.mjs requires installMethod === "npm". This test does not assert that condition. If a later change removes it, lines 29-30 still pass and pnpm installations can enter npm boot recovery.
Add an assertion for installMethod === "npm" in guard.

Summary
Global pnpm installations cannot self-update. The updater treats every
node_modulesinstallation as npm and forwards npm-only flags (--allow-scripts=bun,--no-audit,--no-fund) to pnpm's global add, which rejects them — and the failure lands after the proxy has already been stopped, so the operator is left with a stopped proxy and an unchanged package.This carries #4203 by @oliver-mee, restricted to the update, launcher, service and CLI surface this lane owns. The install detector now recognises pnpm's isolated, store-link, preserved-symlink and hoisted-group layouts; pnpm gets a native global update path that owns its own group, shims and rollback; and registry integrity is checked before the proxy is stopped rather than after.
The blocking review on #4203 is folded in. @Ingwannu found that the carry's shared verifier delegates to
createRequire(...).resolve, so a candidate can satisfy its dependencies from an ancestornode_modulesbelonging to a different package. That is reproduced: for a candidate at<prefix>/lib/node_modules/@bitkyc08/opencodexwith an empty own tree and unrelatedbun/zodbeside it,verifyInstallTreereturned{ok:true,failures:[]}. Three decisions read that verdict — accepting the stage before the swap, rolling back after it, and reaping the only backup at boot — so a non-self-contained candidate called healthy costs the known-good copy.The verifier is therefore split into two real implementations instead of two names for one:
verifyInstallTree(npm, and every recovery decision) returns to the strict pre-carry rule, confined to<packageDir>/node_modules. No resolver, no ancestor walk.verifyPnpmInstallTreekeeps out-of-package resolution, because pnpm legitimately exposes dependencies through a virtual store, a package-root symlink or a hoisted group, but bounds it to roots this package instance owns: its ownnode_modules, its realpath'snode_modules, and an enclosingnode_modulesonly when pnpm's own bookkeeping (.pnpmor.modules.yaml) claims it.Ownership is probed lexically rather than filtered from
require.resolveoutput. That is deliberate: the resolver reports the realpath of the resolved file, so a dependency reached through pnpm's own symlink comes back as a virtual-store path that no lexical ownership test can recognise. Probing the link farm follows exactly the graph edge that proves ownership.Verification
The local product suite, typecheck and GUI build were NOT RUN, by operator instruction for this dispatch round.
bun test,bun run test,bun run test:changed,bun run typecheck,bun run build:guiandbun installwere all NOT RUN. Hosted CI on this exact pushed head is the product evidence for this PR.What was checked instead, with
node --checkand plainnodeagainst throwaway fixtures, by read-only review agents:{ok:true,failures:[]}; the split verifier returns{ok:false,failures:["sentinel dependency missing: bun","sentinel dependency missing: zod"]}.origin/dev's, verified by runningorigin/dev's own module against the same fixtures.src/update/transactional-install.d.mtsstill matches the implementation's exports; no orphaned helper names remain.Two follow-ups for a reviewer's attention:
tests/update/update-pnpm.test.tsnow writes anode_modules/.modules.yamlmarker. A bare ancestor directory with no pnpm bookkeeping is somebody else's installation, and treating it as owned would reopen the same hole on the pnpm side. pnpm 10.34.1'swriteModulesManifestwrites that file into the modules directory, and a real hoisted pnpm tree on the test machine carries it — but no livepnpm add -ghoisted global group was available to confirm it directly, so this inherits the assumption the carry's own detector already makes.Checklist
Carried from #4203; five files that PR touches are outside this lane's ownership and were dropped:
README.md,structure/01_runtime.md,structure/06_docs-and-release.md,docs-site/src/content/docs/getting-started/for-agents.mdanddocs-site/src/content/docs/reference/cli/lifecycle.md. Their content is unrelated to the defect; the installation guide hunk, which this lane does own, is kept.Refs #4203
