fix(shim): support shared executable directories - #12675
Conversation
Greptile SummaryThe PR adds ownership-aware publication and pruning so
Confidence Score: 4/5The PR is not yet safe to merge because an unmanaged wrapper matching the legacy plugin format can still be overwritten or deleted in a shared shim directory. The current classifier intentionally treats an unmarked five-line legacy wrapper as mise-owned; that ownership flows into replacement and pruning, so the previously reported user-file-loss path remains reachable.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This PR makes shared executable directories safer by preserving unrelated entries, but the current implementation can still delete an unrelated Windows .old file or replace/prune a user-edited generated file that retains the mise marker. These ownership risks can affect commands on PATH, so the PR needs a fix or explicit owner acceptance before merge. Suggested reviewers: Poem

The new test at lines 1863-1886 writes the expected bytes by hand, so it verifies the detector but not thatmake_shimoutput satisfies it.If the template's leading whitespace or header text changes, ownership detection fails silently: generated plugin shims are then reported as unmanaged files and are neither replaced nor pruned.
Two low-cost options:
- Define the header as a

make_shim, reads the produced file, and assertsis_generated_shell_shimaccepts it.Also applies to: 1233-1233

- Around line 457-466: Update files_identical in the shim publication path to
treat read failures as non-identical instead of propagating the I/O error.
Preserve the existing identity result for successfully readable files so
publish_staged_shim_farm warns and skips unreadable unrecognized collisions
rather than aborting.
- Around line 350-360: Update reshim_for to use incremental staging when
full_rebuild is false, so automatic post-install runs only add changed or
missing shims instead of rebuilding every desired entry. Preserve full staging
for forced rebuilds and shim mode or version changes, while keeping
publish_staged_shim_farm unchanged.

Review of the shared-shim-directory change. Ten findings below as inline comments, most severe first. Seven are confirmed against the code, one is plausible, two are cleanup/conventions.
Summary: the reshim-side ownership logic is careful, but the headline docs claim does not hold yet — the rest of mise still treats dirs::shims() as a dispatch-only directory and strips it from PATH. There are also two regressions in the dedicated farm (--force can no longer displace a stray same-named file; doctor's unused-shims list no longer matches what prune deletes), a Windows bug where .mode/.version can never be updated in a shared dir, and an over-broad symlink ownership rule.
Unit tests in shims::tests pass locally (26 passed).

Reshim and shim pruning logic changes how files in
shims_dirare classified and deleted, which can affect users who pointedMISE_SHIMS_DIRat a shared PATH directory or relied on old--forcewiping the whole farm.Overview
mise reshimcan target shared bins like~/.local/binwithout wiping unrelated executables. It now identifies mise-owned shims (generated script headers, native shim marker, symlink targets, legacy plugin layout) and only replaces or prunes those entries; unmanaged same-name files are left in place, with warnings when a collision would overwrite different content.Dedicated default shim farms keep full cleanup on force rebuild; shared directories use conservative pruning and treat intentional name collisions as occupied so
mise doctorand post-install reshims do not report false “missing shims.”--forceis documented as rebuilding mise-owned shims rather than deleting everything in the directory first.Generated shims add stable “mise generated shim” markers;
mise-shimembeds a native shim marker byte sequence for Windows exe-shim fingerprinting. Docs and settings clarify that activation/hook-env still expect a dedicatedshims_dir.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 58ba649. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
