Summary

Since 2026-09-03 ~12:30 UTC, every lockfile-less npm install on npm 10.9 (Node 22's bundled npm) crashes:

npm error Cannot read properties of null (reading 'edgesOut')
    at #loadPeerSet (@npmcli/arborist/lib/arborist/build-ideal-tree.js:1289)

That is why Fresh Install (Node 22.14.0) (node-compat.yml) and Publish Fresh Install Build (package-validation.yml) went red on main from run 33765746872 onward, and on #1636, while the Node 24 (npm 11) variants pass.

Root cause, verified locally against main's manifests with npx npm@10.9.2 install --package-lock-only:

  • vitest 5.0.0 and the @vitest/* 5.0.0 family were published at 12:24 UTC. Fencing the registry with --before=2026-09-03T12:00:00Z resolves cleanly (vitest 4.1.11); --before=2026-09-03T12:30:00Z crashes.
  • vite 8 has an optional peer on @vitejs/devtools, whose @vitejs/devtools-vitest plugin declares peerDependencies: { vitest: "*" }. That wildcard now lands on vitest 5 even though every workspace range is ^4.1.0, and npm 10.9's arborist crashes building the peer set.

Change

package.json gains a nested override, "@vitejs/devtools-vitest": { "vitest": "^4.1.0" }, next to the existing overrides. It rewrites only that wildcard peer edge to the workspace's own vitest range; a fresh npm 10.9.2 install then resolves to vitest 4.1.11, matching the lockfile, which is unchanged. The $vitest reference form was rejected because npm 10.9 fails to resolve it on peer edges (Unable to resolve reference $vitest).

The override only needs revisiting when the repo itself moves to vitest 5 (bump the range alongside the root devDependency). Nothing an installed agent-relay executes changes (workspace overrides are not published), so no changelog entry; the proof gate still classifies the root manifest as runtime because its allowlist fails closed, hence the case below.

Test Plan

  • Tests added/updated (the RelayFlow case below)

  • Manual testing completed

  • npx npm@10.9.2 install --package-lock-only against main's manifests: crashes (reproduces the CI failure).

  • Same with this PR's root package.json: succeeds, vitest resolves to 4.1.11.

  • npm install --package-lock-only in the checkout with the override: lockfile unchanged.

  • The RelayFlow case was run on both arms locally against detached worktrees at the exact base (e87f186) and head SHAs and produced the declared outcomes.

RelayFlow Proof

  • Change type: bugfix
  • RelayFlow case: 1649-fresh-install-vitest-peer

The case copies only the workspace manifests (root + packages/*) out of the exact target checkout into a scratch directory, without the lockfile, and asks a pinned npx npm@10.9.2 to build an ideal tree (--package-lock-only --ignore-scripts). The runner's own npm version is irrelevant. Base arm: the install exits non-zero with the edgesOut crash (fresh_install_crashes_on_wildcard_vitest_peer). Head arm: it exits zero and the generated lockfile resolves vitest to a 4.x (fresh_install_resolves_vitest_4). It needs no broker artifact and no node_modules, only registry access.

… range

vitest 5.0.0 (published 2026-09-03 12:24 UTC) breaks every lockfile-less
npm install on npm 10.9: vite 8 has an optional peer on @vitejs/devtools,
whose devtools-vitest plugin declares peerDependencies.vitest = "*". That
wildcard now resolves to vitest 5 even though every workspace range is
^4.1.0, and arborist crashes building the peer set with
"Cannot read properties of null (reading 'edgesOut')". npm 11 copes,
which is why only the Node 22 Fresh Install and Publish Fresh Install
Build jobs went red (on main too, from run 33765746872 onward).

Override that one peer edge to the workspace's own vitest range. With it a
fresh npm 10.9.2 install resolves to vitest 4.1.11, matching the lockfile;
the lockfile itself is unchanged. The $vitest reference form is not used
because npm 10.9 fails to resolve it on peer edges.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change pins vitest for @vitejs/devtools-vitest, adds a RelayFlows fresh-install proof, and records the completed task in trajectory artifacts. The proof validates npm 10.9.2 behavior for base and head revisions.

Changes

Vitest dependency override and proof

Layer / File(s) Summary
Vitest override configuration
package.json
Adds a nested npm override that forces @vitejs/devtools-vitest to use vitest ^4.1.0.
Fresh-install proof
tests/relayflows/cases/1649-fresh-install-vitest-peer/*
Adds a RelayFlows case and runner that validate the checkout and npm environment, copy workspace manifests, run npm 10.9.2 without a lockfile, classify base and head results, and write versioned JSON output.
Completion records and compaction
.agentworkforce/trajectories/completed/2026-09/traj_pwl779phg4f3/*, .trajectories/compacted/*
Adds trajectory records for the completed task and applies formatting-only changes to compacted release artifacts.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 9e981

The override keeps fresh npm installs on the established Vitest 4 range, addressing the reported dependency-resolution failure without changing published runtime behavior. No current merge-blocking risk is identified.

… npm 10.9.2

The proof-gate allowlist fails closed and does not list the root
package.json, so the override counts as a runtime change and needs a case.
The case copies only the workspace manifests out of the exact target
checkout (no lockfile) and asks npx npm@10.9.2 to build an ideal tree:
base crashes with the arborist edgesOut error, head resolves vitest 4.x.

CI on 67cea9c: the two jobs this PR exists to fix are green (Fresh Install (Node 22.14.0) and Publish Fresh Install Build both pass now, having failed on main's run 33765746872). One unrelated job is red:

Standalone macOS Smoke (job 100695892478) built and signed the standalone binary fine, then standalone up failed because the broker's startup handshake with the hosted Relaycast workspace got no response on all three attempts (12 s each, 40 s aggregate). That is the external service, not this diff: the PR changes a root npm override and adds a RelayFlow case, neither of which reaches the broker or the CLI runtime, and the same job passed on main at e87f186 about forty minutes earlier with the same build. Re-running the failed job once to confirm; if it fails the same way a second time it is a Relaycast availability problem rather than anything in this PR.

RelayFlow PR proof is red on 7487cb7 for a reason outside this PR.

Run 33770575146: the dispatcher classified the PR and validated the case successfully, submitted the Cloud red/green proof at 15:06 UTC, and then hit its 60-minute deadline at 16:07 with the Cloud run still pending. No arm ever ran (cloud.log was never produced), so this says nothing about the case or the fix. Every other check on this head is green, including Fresh Install (Node 22.14.0) and Publish Fresh Install Build, the two jobs this PR exists to fix, and the case itself produced both declared outcomes when run locally against the exact base and head SHAs.

The Cloud RelayFlow runner has not started any proof run on this repo since about 14:00 UTC; #1636's proof failed the same way at 15:01 after an hour in pending, and every successful proof earlier today finished in under ten minutes. A re-run now would hang for another hour, so I am holding the re-run until a proof on any relay PR gets past pending, and will note the result here.

…d registry

The Cloud re-run of this proof saw the base arm resolve cleanly while the
same manifests still crash locally against registry.npmjs.org with npm
10.9.2, and nothing new was published in between. The case now records
which npm actually ran, which registry it talked to, and the latest
vitest / vite / @vitejs/devtools* it was served, refuses to run if the
resolver is not npm 10.9.2, and fails with an explicit precondition error
when that registry cannot serve vitest 5 at all (a stale mirror cannot
produce the red arm, and must not read as green). A successful install
also logs the resolved vite/devtools chain.

Update on the proof. The Cloud queue is back: the re-run of 33770575146 got scheduled and ran the base arm within a minute.

It failed, and for a reason worth knowing about: inside the Cloud sandbox, npx npm@10.9.2 install --package-lock-only against the base manifests exited 0, so the case reported fixed where the contract expects bug. That is not what the registry does right now. The same command against main's manifests, run locally at 16:52 UTC against registry.npmjs.org, still crashes with the edgesOut error, and npm view shows nothing published since the morning (@vitejs/devtools-vitest 0.7.1 at 10:27 UTC still peers on vitest: "*", vitest@latest is 5.0.0 from 12:24 UTC). So the resolver the sandbox ran, or the registry it was served, differs from the public one, most likely a caching proxy whose @vitejs/devtools / vitest packuments predate the 5.0.0 publish, in which case the wildcard peer never lands on 5 and there is no crash to observe.

I have pushed a follow-up that makes the case report which npm actually ran, which registry it used, and the latest it was served for vitest, vite, @vitejs/devtools, and @vitejs/devtools-vitest, and that fails with an explicit precondition error (not a green fixed) when that registry cannot serve vitest 5. The next proof run will say exactly what the sandbox sees. If it confirms a stale mirror, this case cannot be red there by construction, and I will say so here rather than keep re-running.

Proof on 26ff86d failed before any arm ran, for an infrastructure reason. Run 33781476663: the Cloud workflow could not provision the prove-base sandbox:

[executor] daytona sandbox provisioning failed for step "prove-base" after 44ms:
Total CPU limit exceeded. Maximum allowed: 250.

The organization's Daytona CPU/concurrency quota is exhausted, so no proof can run until sandboxes are freed (the hour-long pending stalls earlier today on this PR and #1636 are consistent with the same quota starving provisioning). Nothing in this PR touches that; the diagnostic case never got to execute, so the question of what registry the sandbox sees is still open. I am not re-running until the quota clears; once it does, one run of this head will print the resolver, registry, and latest versions the sandbox is served.

E2E Integration Test (macos-latest, 22.14.0) is red on 26ff86d for a reason outside this PR. Run 33781479966: every CLI check passed, then agent-relay node down timed out its 10 s graceful shutdown and the broker was still RUNNING 20 s later, with status showing Node delivery: DOWN (no node token), meaning the broker never obtained its node token from the hosted Relaycast service during the run. The same job passed on 7487cb7 at 14:59 UTC, and the only change since is the RelayFlow case runner, which this E2E never executes. This matches the Relaycast handshake timeouts in the macOS smoke job at 15:01 and the Cloud-side outages this afternoon. Re-running the job once.

Only the vitest@latest lookup decides the precondition; the vite and
@vitejs/devtools* lookups are context for the log and now degrade to
"unavailable" instead of failing the case. A preflight that exceeds its
timeout now reads as a timeout, matching the install step.

Required lookups get 60s each and the optional context lookups 20s each,
so the worst-case preflight is four minutes and the 10-minute install still
fits the 900s case budget.

Standing down on E2E Integration Test (macos-latest, 22.14.0) (run 33783040507, head 9e981bc).

The job reached Phase 2 and agent-relay node status printed Status: RUNNINGWorkspace source: created (no configured workspace resolved) and then hung past the script's 10s bound. That last line is the point where node status calls the local broker's /api/status (readBrokerStatusDetails in packages/cli/src/cli/lib/broker-lifecycle.ts), i.e. the broker was still busy registering the freshly minted workspace/node against live Relaycast when the CLI asked it for status. The ubuntu E2E job on the same head passed.

This PR's diff is the root package.json override plus the tests/relayflows/cases/1649-fresh-install-vitest-peer/ case; it does not touch the CLI, the broker, or the E2E script. E2E Tests on main (e87f186, run 33765746693) is green, and the previous macOS failure on this PR (a different symptom, Node delivery: DOWN (no node token)) passed on re-run. Re-running this job once; if it fails a third time on the same head I'll dig into the broker/Relaycast registration timing on the macOS runner separately from this PR.

RelayFlow PR proof on 9e981bc: failed on infrastructure again, not on the case.

Run 33783037334 submitted the Cloud red/green run at 17:12 UTC and polled Cloud RelayFlow status: pending for the full 60-minute dispatcher deadline; no sandbox was ever provisioned, so neither arm executed and no cloud.log was produced. This is the same shared Daytona capacity problem as the earlier Total CPU limit exceeded failure on this PR, now surfacing as a queue that never schedules. The one re-run this check gets was already spent on run 33770575146, so I am not re-running it again.

Also for the record: the macOS E2E hang on this head (node status waiting on the broker's status endpoint) reproduces on unrelated PRs today and a control run of E2E on main passed, so both remaining reds are environment/timing, not this diff (root package.json override + the proof case). The PR needs a manual re-run of the proof dispatcher and the E2E workflow once Cloud capacity is back.
