This PR applies two changes:

(1) The extensions txz and tzst were not considered as part of asset_name_stem in src/backend/asset_matcher.rs, resulting in e.g. asset-1.tgz and asset-2.txz being considered different assets (rather than merely differing by format), when e.g. asset-1.tar.gz and asset-2.tar.xz would match.

(2) It seems smart for mise to explicitly prefer tar.xz and tar.zst formats (regardless of extension expression as three-letter or longer) over e.g. tar.gz or others, since xz and zst typically produce smaller archives, and mise users care more about decompressing/downloading than CPU overhead for compression.

If (2) is too opinionated, (1) can be taken alone.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes

  • Improved archive asset matching by prioritizing .tar.zst archives, followed by .tar.xz, before other supported formats.
  • Improved recognition of compressed archive filenames using .txz and .tzst suffixes.
  • Added validation to ensure archive selection consistently follows the preferred format order.
  • Archive downloads should now select the most appropriate available format more reliably.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The asset matcher now prefers .tar.zst, then .tar.xz, over other archive formats. Asset filename normalization removes .txz and .tzst suffixes. Tests verify the archive selection order and suffix handling.

Archive scoring, suffix normalization, and selection tests
src/backend/asset_matcher.rs
Archive scoring assigns 15 points to TarZst, 13 points to TarXz, and 10 points to other archive formats. Asset stem extraction removes .txz and .tzst suffixes. Tests verify archive preference order and suffix handling.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1a0fa

On Windows, asset selection may still choose a ZIP archive instead of preferring tar.xz or tar.zst, so users may receive a less space-efficient format than intended; the PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up.

A rabbit ranks the archives in line,
Tar ZST comes first by design.
Tar XZ follows, then the rest,
New suffixes leave the stem compressed.
Tests confirm each matching hop—
The archive queue is set to stop!

Greptile Summary

This PR improves release-asset selection for shorthand and long-form xz/zstd tar archives.

  • Recognizes .txz and .tzst as archive suffixes when deriving preferred-name stems.
  • Ranks zstd tar archives ahead of xz tar archives and other archive formats.
  • Adds focused tests for archive preference and shorthand suffix normalization.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains.

I noticed this because we offer .tgz and .txz downloads for elide, and mise was selecting .tgz when the .txz is about 200mb smaller. Trying it out locally, mise now selects the .txz as expected.

The .txz/.tzst normalization is a good fix, but please reverse the new archive preference to TarZst > TarXz > other archives (while retaining the existing Windows ZIP preference).

tar.xz generally minimizes bytes, but tar.zst is usually the better default for mise's install path because its much faster decompression tends to produce lower end-to-end install latency. For perspective, the current mise Linux x64 release is about 22.6 MB as xz versus 27.0 MB as zstd; that modest transfer difference is unlikely to outweigh extraction time on a typical connection. The Elide example still benefits from xz because it currently offers gzip and xz, so this does not weaken the suffix-matching fix.

Please also add a focused selection test that locks in the intended tar.zst → tar.xz → other archive order.

@jdx thanks for the quick review :) will fix!

Variants of tar, namely, `xz` and `zstd`, were not included in the
extension qualifier list for `asset_name_stem` before this commit.
`tgz` was considered, but not `txz` or `tzst`, resulting in a bug
with asset resolution: these assets do not have their stem trimmed
and so are considered completely separate assets from sibling zip
or tgz assets.

For a given identical corpus, `tar.xz` files are typically smaller
than `tar.zst`, which are in turn typically smaller than `tar.gz`.
This commit adjusts `score_format_preferences` to slightly prefer
such assets within their stemmed bucket.

Given a stem-matched set of assets where a `tar.xz` (or `txz`) or
`tar.zst` (or `tzst`) is available, it will be selected over other
formats, like `tar.gz` or `zip`.
