mise-en-place

This release refines mise's experimental monorepo task workflow with relative dependency paths and a compact dependency tree view, and lands a wide batch of fixes across Cargo installs, plugins, PATH handling, Windows program resolution, Aqua locks, GitLab pagination, and more.

Added

• task: mise tasks deps gains a --compact flag that expands each shared dependency subtree only once and marks later references as (already shown), keeping every incoming edge visible while avoiding the recursive blow-up that wildcard-heavy monorepo graphs produced. Default output is unchanged unless you pass the flag. (#11502 by @jdx)

  mise tasks deps --compact
  

• task: monorepo task dependencies now support ./-prefixed relative paths, resolved from the declaring task's own monorepo location, so one aggregate declaration works unchanged at the root, in nested apps, and in leaves without hard-coded absolute paths. Trailing ... patterns now include the base project itself in addition to its descendants. (#11503 by @jdx)

  [tasks.test]
  depends = [{ task = "./...:groups:tests:*", optional = true }]
  

Fixed

• cargo: installs now record the effective install options (features, default-features, bin, crate, locked) and reinstall automatically when any of them change, so changing feature flags or the selected binary no longer silently reuses the wrong artifact. Incompatible shared/system installs are shadowed in your primary install directory instead of being modified. (#11480 by @Marukome0743)
• plugins: [plugins] entries can now point at local filesystem paths (absolute, ~/, or explicit .//../ relative to the config root). Local asdf, vfox, vfox-backend, and package plugins are installed as symlinks so source edits take effect immediately, while Git URLs, refs, archives, and file:// sources keep their existing behavior. (#11487 by @Marukome0743)
• plugins: batch plugins install, plugins install --all, and plugins update now finish every plugin even when one fails, preserving successful changes and reporting all failures together (in deterministic order) with a failing exit status. (#11490 by @Marukome0743)
• env: computed environments (mise env, mise x child PATHs, mise doctor) now collapse exact duplicate PATH entries first-wins, fixing the runaway _.path accumulation that appeared in nested shells and IDE terminals that inherit an activated PATH without mise's state vars. The live shell PATH is intentionally left untouched. (#11491 by @JamBalaya56562)
• install: installing a tool no longer touches your loaded config files, so editors stop reporting spurious "file changed on disk" warnings. hook-env still detects installs and PATH changes via the mise data directory. (#11495 by @Marukome0743)
• prune: mise prune --tools no longer discards references from untrusted idiomatic version files and plain .tool-versions, preventing removal of versions still in use by other projects. (#11501 by @jdx)
• monorepo: idiomatic_version_file_enable_tools set in a config root's own [settings] is now honored by monorepo-wide commands like mise ls --monorepo and mise install --monorepo, instead of only being applied when mise runs from inside that root. (#11463 by @kaii-zen)
• asdf: bin/list-all and bin/latest-stable scripts now receive your resolved mise [env] values, removals, and _.path additions, so plugins that need a credential or helper on PATH can list versions. Caches are partitioned per environment so results are never reused across differing configs. (#11492 by @Marukome0743)
• aqua: locked HTTP installs (such as Cabal artifacts on downloads.haskell.org) again retain prefix-scoped format and file metadata, so archives are extracted correctly rather than copied as the executable. (#11499 by @jdx)
• gitlab: authentication headers are now sent on every page of paginated release/tag requests, fixing anonymous page-2 requests on private or rate-limited GitLab projects when MISE_LIST_ALL_VERSIONS is set. (#11507 by @JamBalaya56562)
• backend (Windows): mise now resolves a genuinely spawnable program instead of a bare name, fixing program not found errors when a tool is present only as a .cmd shim (for example a scoop- or pip-installed pipx.cmd). Interpreter-only files such as .ps1 and .vbs are recognized correctly, with .vbs file tasks routed through cscript. (#11486, #11489 by @JamBalaya56562)
• watch: mise watch --wrap-process group is now honored on macOS instead of being silently dropped for watchexec's platform default of session. The --help text also documents the platform-dependent defaults. (#11512 by @JamBalaya56562)
• lockfile: monorepo legacy path discovery is now cached, avoiding redundant work during lockfile operations. (#11500 by @jdx)
