Summary

The 8.3.2 publish (run 33766053231) failed in the build job's "Clean reinstall after version bump" step, which deletes the lockfile and runs npm install on Node 22's bundled npm 10.9:

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

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 2026-09-03 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 ^4.0.18 (openclaw and react still ask for ^3), and npm 10.9's arborist crashes building the peer set. npm 11 handles it.

Nothing was published or committed by the failed run; it stopped before the commit/publish steps.

Change

  • package.json: a nested override, "@vitejs/devtools-vitest": { "vitest": "^4.0.18" }, rewrites only that wildcard peer edge to the root's own vitest range. A fresh npm 10.9.2 install on main then resolves to vitest 4.1.11, matching the lockfile, which is unchanged by this PR. A root-level vitest override was rejected because it would force the ^3 consumers onto 4. The $vitest reference form was rejected because npm 10.9 fails to resolve it on peer edges (Unable to resolve reference $vitest).
  • .github/workflows/publish-npm.yml: the build job now runs npm install -g npm@11 after setup-node, the same step the publish job already has, so the lockfile-less reinstall resolves with the npm that publishes instead of Node 22's bundled npm 10.

The override only needs revisiting when the repo itself moves to vitest 5 (bump the range alongside the root devDependency). No runtime code changes, so no changelog entry.

Test plan

  • npx npm@10.9.2 install --package-lock-only against main's manifests: crashes (reproduces the publish 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.
  • Workflow change is untestable locally; it mirrors the existing publish-job step.

…s survive vitest 5

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
^4.0.18 (or ^3 in openclaw/react), and arborist crashes building the peer
set with "Cannot read properties of null (reading 'edgesOut')". This is
what failed the 8.3.2 publish (run 33766053231) in the version job's
"Clean reinstall after version bump" step, which runs on Node 22's
bundled npm 10.

Two changes:

- Override that one peer edge to the root vitest range. A fresh npm 10.9.2
  install on main then resolves to vitest 4.1.11, matching the lockfile,
  and the ^3 consumers are untouched (a root-level vitest override would
  have forced them onto 4). The $vitest reference form is not used because
  npm 10.9 fails to resolve it on peer edges.
- Run the publish workflow's build job on npm 11, which the publish job
  already installs, so the lockfile-less reinstall resolves with the same
  npm that publishes.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release workflow now installs npm 11 before npm ci. The package configuration overrides the Vitest version used by @vitejs/devtools-vitest.

Changes

NPM release alignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Release tooling and dependency resolution
.github/workflows/publish-npm.yml, package.json
The build job installs npm 11 before npm ci. The npm override pins Vitest to ^4.0.18 for @vitejs/devtools-vitest.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bd715

The release build installs a mutable npm major version before producing publishable artifacts. Pinning and consistently verifying an exact npm version should be resolved before merge to avoid unexpected or compromised tooling affecting releases.

Comment thread .github/workflows/publish-npm.yml Outdated
Replace the mutable npm@11 dist-tag with the exact npm@11.19.1 in all three
self-install steps, so the build and publish jobs run the same resolver
across re-runs and the tarball is the one whose registry integrity npm
verifies on install. The existing npm@11 steps predate this PR; pinning
them alongside the new one keeps the three consistent.
