pnpm 11.3

pnpm 11.3 adds support for npm's staged publishing (pnpm stage), the new trustLockfile setting for skipping the supply-chain verification pass on already-trusted lockfiles, and native implementations of pnpm pkg, pnpm repo, and pnpm set-script. It also adds a --skip-manifest-obfuscation flag for pack / publish and cuts the memory footprint of minimumReleaseAge / trustPolicy verification on large workspaces.

pnpm stage

A new pnpm stage command brings npm's staged publishing workflow to pnpm. Staged publishing lets you publish a version that's hidden from npm install until you explicitly approve it — useful for verifying release artifacts, smoke-testing CI, or coordinating multi-package releases.

The available subcommands are:

pnpm stage publish    # publish a version into staging
pnpm stage list       # list staged versions
pnpm stage view       # view a staged version
pnpm stage approve    # promote a staged version to the registry
pnpm stage reject     # discard a staged version
pnpm stage download   # download a staged tarball

trustLockfile

A new trustLockfile setting controls whether pnpm install re-applies the minimumReleaseAge / trustPolicy: 'no-downgrade' checks to every entry in the loaded lockfile. When true, the install treats the lockfile as already-trusted and skips the verification pass — useful for closed-source projects where every commit comes from a trusted author. The default is false, so verification stays on by default.

Set it in pnpm-workspace.yaml:

pnpm-workspace.yaml

trustLockfile: true

This release also cuts the memory footprint of the verification pass itself: the per-(registry, name) trust-meta cache previously retained the full packument — dependency graphs, scripts, README, and per-version manifests — for the entire install. On large workspaces (~4k lockfile entries with minimumReleaseAge + trustPolicy: no-downgrade enabled) this could OOM CI runners with a 2 GB heap cap. The cache now stores only the fields the trust check actually reads (time, per-version _npmUser.trustedPublisher, dist.attestations.provenance); the abbreviated-metadata cache is similarly projected to just the package-level modified field and the set of currently-listed version names. Fixes #11860.

Native pnpm pkg, pnpm repo, and pnpm set-script

Three more commands that previously delegated to (or were missing without) npm are now implemented natively, following the npm command conventions:

• pnpm pkg — get / set / delete fields in package.json.
• pnpm repo — open the repository URL of a package in the browser.
• pnpm set-script (alias ss) — add or update an entry in the scripts field of the project manifest. Supports package.json, package.json5, and package.yaml formats.

--skip-manifest-obfuscation for pack and publish

A new --skip-manifest-obfuscation flag for pnpm pack and pnpm publish keeps the original packageManager field and publish lifecycle scripts in the packed/published manifest instead of stripping them. The pnpm-specific pnpm field continues to be omitted.

补丁更改

• Fixed pnpm dlx failing with ERR_PNPM_NO_IMPORTER_MANIFEST_FOUND when the installed package's CAS slot is missing its package.json. Observed in the wild for pnpm dlx node@runtime:<version> when the GVS slot was populated without the synthesized manifest runtime archives need. dlx now falls back to the scopeless package name when the slot's manifest is unreadable — for single-bin packages (the dlx common case, including every runtime: spec) this matches what manifest.bin would have named.
• Fixed non-determinism in pnpm dedupe and pnpm install when a dependency graph contains packages with transitive peer dependencies on each other (e.g. @aws-sdk/client-sts and @aws-sdk/client-sso-oidc) and auto-install-peers is enabled. The lockfile no longer flips between two equally-valid forms across consecutive runs. The root cause was that resolveDependencies pushed onto its pkgAddresses / postponedResolutionsQueue arrays from inside Promise.all-spawned callbacks, so completion-order timing leaked into the array order and downstream cyclic-peer suffix assignment. Fixes #8155.
• Fixed a regression where pnpm add <github-shorthand> (and any other wanted-dependency whose alias can't be parsed from the user-supplied spec, e.g. tarball URLs or pnpm/test-git-fetch#sha) was silently dropped from the manifest update and from pendingBuilds.
• Fixed pnpm add --config leaving orphan entries in pnpm-lock.env.yaml (the optional subdependencies of the previously resolved version of the updated config dependency).
