Summary

Fixes #14745: pnpm update [email protected] on a manifest declaring "react": "^19.2.8" rewrote the entry to 19.3.0, dropping the caret. pnpm 11 writes ^19.3.0.

  • pnpm update <name>@<version> now records the version under the operator the manifest already pins (^ stays ^, ~ stays ~, an exact pin stays exact) and under the npm: or jsr: prefix the entry resolves through. The rewrite happens in the update command before the install, in matched_direct_rewrite, which is where the requested text was being written verbatim.
  • The requested version is seeded under the package name an npm: or jsr: alias resolves to, so the lockfile records it even when the kept range admits a newer version.
  • A plain pnpm update now moves a jsr: range the way it moves an npm range, as the TypeScript CLI does.
  • The npm resolver's calc_specifier / calc_prefixed_specifier prefer the previous specifier's operator over the requested one, matching the TypeScript calcVersionRange. update --latest now passes the manifest entry as the previous specifier so this path keeps a prerelease range's operator.

Squash Commit Body

`pnpm update <name>@<version>` rewrites package.json before the install
(update.rs `matched_direct_rewrite`), so a versioned selector was written
verbatim and the declared operator was lost. The version is now recorded
through `calc_version_range` under the operator the manifest already pins,
reusing the npm-alias splitter so an aliased entry keeps its prefix. The
requested version is still seeded into the resolution, keyed by the name
the entry resolves under rather than its alias, so the lockfile records it
even when the kept range admits a newer version. The alias splitter the
bump path shares recognizes `jsr:` alongside `npm:`, so a `jsr:` entry keeps
its prefix on a requested version and a plain update moves its range.

The npm resolver's `calc_specifier` now prefers the previous specifier's
operator over the requested one, as the TypeScript `calcVersionRange`
does. That path only runs under `update --latest`, which now passes the
manifest entry as the previous specifier; without that a prerelease range
such as `^3.0.0-rc.0` lost its operator.

pnpm 11 is unaffected: `parseWantedDependencies` supplies `prevSpecifier`
from the manifest and the resolver computes the importer specifier.

Fixes pnpm/pnpm#14745

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • pnpm update <name>@<version> now preserves existing range operators such as ^ and ~.
    • npm aliases retain their npm: prefix during updates.
    • JSR dependencies preserve their jsr: prefix and range operator when explicitly updated.
    • Bare JSR dependencies now receive the requested version correctly.
    • Plain updates now correctly advance JSR ranges while retaining their declared style.
    • Resolved prerelease and exact-version updates better inherit the dependency’s existing version style.

Assessment against linked issues

Objective Addressed Explanation
Preserve an existing semver range, such as ^, when pnpm update changes the dependency version [#14745] ✅

Suggested labels: product: pacquet

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9284d

The update now preserves range operators and npm:/jsr: prefixes. A narrow test gap remains for plain updates of bare JSR aliases, so the change is mergeable with bounded follow-up.

Regular scenarios report direct and pnpr installs. The peer-heavy resolver scenario compares current Rust, main Rust, and TypeScript pnpm. Bencher consumes pacquet@HEAD and pnpr@HEAD.

The tables below show mean ± σ; Bencher thresholds on the minimum latency, which is far less perturbed by shared-runner contention (noise only adds time).

When `pnpm update [email protected]` rewrites package.json, prefer the previous
specifier's range operator (^ / ~ / =) over the exact requested bare
version, matching the TypeScript resolver's calcVersionRange behavior.

Fixes #14745
@zkochan
zkochan force-pushed the fix/14745-preserve-update-range-prefix branch from f3cdd12 to 43fa528 Compare September 10, 2026 07:04
`pnpm update <name>@<version>` now writes the version under the operator
the manifest already pins, the way pnpm 11 does. The update command
rewrites package.json before the install, so the resolver-side change on
its own never reached this path. `update --latest` now also passes the
manifest entry as the previous specifier, so a prerelease range keeps its
operator.

Adds e2e coverage for the requested-version cases, unit coverage for the
npm, JSR, and named-registry call sites, and a pacquet changeset.

1. Selectorless JSR updates lose routing ✓ Resolved 🔗 Cross-repo conflict ≡ Correctness ⭐ New
Description
split_registry_alias admits jsr: declarations but rejects the valid selector-less form
jsr:@scope/package because its only @ is at index zero. Updating such a pnpm.io-documented
dependency to an exact version therefore reaches requested_version_rewrite's fallback and writes
the bare version without jsr:, redirecting subsequent resolution away from JSR.
Code

pnpm/crates/package-manager/src/manifest_spec_bumps.rs[R322-324]

+    let Some((protocol, rest)) = ["npm:", "jsr:"]
+        .into_iter()
+        .find_map(|protocol| declared.strip_prefix(protocol).map(|rest| (protocol, rest)))
Relevance

●●● Strong

A selectorless scoped JSR form is documented and the splitter’s index guard clearly drops its
protocol during rewrites.

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The new splitter routes every jsr: value through alias splitting, but its final separator must be
at index one or later; pnpm's own JSR parser explicitly treats a final @ at index zero as the
valid no-selector case. When splitting returns None, the update rewrite returns the requested
version unchanged, while pnpm.io documents selector-less jsr:@hono/hono as a supported form that
resolves through JSR.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The registry-alias splitter rejects valid selector-less JSR declarations such as `jsr:@hono/hono`, causing an explicit version update to drop JSR routing.

## Fix Focus Areas
- pnpm/crates/package-manager/src/manifest_spec_bumps.rs[321-335]
- pnpm/crates/package-manager/src/update.rs[1605-1617]

## Recommended Fix
Recognize a scoped JSR name whose only `@` is its leading scope marker. Return the entire package portion as the preserved prefix with an empty declared selector, then add unit and CLI coverage proving that updating `jsr:@scope/package` to an exact version retains the `jsr:@scope/package@` prefix.

2. Two aliases can lock the wrong version 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness ⭐ New
Description
seed_requested_version maps every alias resolving to the same package into one shared
preferred-version bucket, where distinct requested versions receive equal priority. When two aliases
are updated to different versions that both satisfy their preserved ranges, the resolver selects the
highest preferred version for both aliases instead of honoring each command-line request.
Code

pnpm/crates/package-manager/src/update.rs[R1584-1587]

+    let resolved_name = real_package_name_of(Some(name), Some(previous));
+    crate::install_with_fresh_lockfile::prefer_requested_version(
+        preferred_versions_override,
+        resolved_name.as_deref().unwrap_or(name),
Relevance

●● Moderate

Alias-collision findings are accepted, but no close precedent confirms resolver preference behavior
across distinct requested versions.

PR-#14223

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The new helper normalizes all aliases to their resolved package name before seeding. The preference
store retains multiple exact versions under that one name with equal weight, while the resolver
looks preferences up by the real package name and chooses the maximum satisfying version among
equal-weight candidates, so aliases cannot retain distinct requested versions when their ranges
overlap.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
Requested versions for multiple aliases of the same package are merged into one real-package preference bucket. Overlapping preserved ranges then resolve every alias to the highest requested version rather than the version requested for that alias.

## Fix Focus Areas
- pnpm/crates/package-manager/src/update.rs[1578-1589]
- pnpm/crates/package-manager/src/install_with_fresh_lockfile.rs[327-346]
- pnpm/crates/resolving-npm-resolver/src/npm_resolver.rs[364-368]

## Recommended Fix
Associate each requested-version preference with the individual dependency edge, including its install alias and resolved package name, and make resolution consult only the preference belonging to that edge. Add an integration test updating two aliases of the same package to different exact versions under overlapping preserved ranges and assert that each alias locks its requested version.

A `<name>@<version>` selector on a `jsr:` entry now keeps the `jsr:` prefix
and the declared operator, so the entry keeps resolving through JSR. The
splitter the manifest bump path uses recognizes `jsr:` alongside `npm:`, so
a plain update moves a `jsr:` range the way the TypeScript CLI does.

The requested version is seeded under the package name the entry resolves
to rather than its alias, so an `npm:` or `jsr:` alias locks the version
that was asked for even when the kept range admits a newer one.

A `jsr:@scope/pkg` or `npm:foo` entry declares no range, so the alias
splitter rejected it and a requested version was written bare, moving the
entry off its registry. The splitter now keeps the whole name as the
prefix with an empty range, so `pnpm update <alias>@<version>` writes
`jsr:@scope/pkg@<version>`. A plain update leaves such an entry alone, the
way it leaves a dist-tag alone: it tracks the default tag and names no
version to move.

Thanks for merging, @zkochan.
Working on this tightened a distinction I had been sloppy about: pnpm update [email protected] should preserve the existing range operator and protocol prefix rather than rewriting them.

Keeping ^, ~, and the npm: and jsr: prefixes intact turned out to be the actual point of the change.
Thanks for the review.

biisal pushed a commit to biisal/pnpm that referenced this pull request Sep 15, 2026
…npm#14756)

`pnpm update <name>@<version>` rewrites package.json before the install
(update.rs `matched_direct_rewrite`), so a versioned selector was written
verbatim and the declared operator was lost. The version is now recorded
through `calc_version_range` under the operator the manifest already pins,
reusing the npm-alias splitter so an aliased entry keeps its prefix. The
requested version is still seeded into the resolution, keyed by the name
the entry resolves under rather than its alias, so the lockfile records it
even when the kept range admits a newer version. The alias splitter the
bump path shares recognizes `jsr:` alongside `npm:`, so a `jsr:` entry keeps
its prefix on a requested version and a plain update moves its range.

The npm resolver's `calc_specifier` now prefers the previous specifier's
operator over the requested one, as the TypeScript `calcVersionRange`
does. That path only runs under `update --latest`, which now passes the
manifest entry as the previous specifier; without that a prerelease range
such as `^3.0.0-rc.0` lost its operator.

pnpm 11 is unaffected: `parseWantedDependencies` supplies `prevSpecifier`
from the manifest and the resolver computes the importer specifier.

Fixes pnpm#14745
