fix(lockfile): skip preprocessUpdateRequests for global installs

[BillionClaw]

Summary

Fixes #28247

When running bun update -g --latest, the preprocessUpdateRequests function was being called for global installs. This caused an assertion failure when global packages had workspace dependencies that couldn't be resolved in the global context.

Changes

Modified cleanWithLogger in src/install/lockfile.zig to skip preprocessUpdateRequests for global installs since they don't have a proper workspace context.

Testing

This fix prevents the assertion failure by not attempting workspace-specific dependency preprocessing on global installs. The global update flow will still work correctly without this preprocessing step.

Walkthrough

Modified the condition in Lockfile.cleanWithLogger to include an additional check for global install mode. The preprocessing of update requests now only occurs when updates exist and the global flag is not set, preventing execution during global installs.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Global Install Handling src/install/lockfile.zig	Tightened the update preprocessing condition in Lockfile.cleanWithLogger from if updates.len > 0 to if updates.len > 0 and !manager.options.global to prevent preprocessing during global package installation.

✅ Passed checks (4 passed)

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check	✅ Passed	The title clearly and concisely describes the main change: skipping preprocessUpdateRequests for global installs to fix an assertion failure.
Description check	✅ Passed	The PR description provides context about the issue, explains the fix, and describes testing approach, though it deviates from the template structure by adding a 'Summary' and 'Changes' section instead of following the template's 'What does this PR do?' and 'How did you verify?' format.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	The PR directly addresses issue #28247 by preventing preprocessUpdateRequests from being called during global installs, which resolves the assertion failure when global packages contain workspace dependencies.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	The change modifies only the lockfile.zig file's cleanWithLogger function to add a global install check, which is directly scoped to fixing the reported global update assertion failure.

Closing as stale: this PR predates the Rust rewrite. Every src/ file it modifies has since been removed or relocated on main (Zig sources deleted; src/bun.js/ reorganized into src/jsc/), so it can no longer merge.

If the underlying change is still wanted, it will need to be redone against the current Rust/C++ tree. Apologies for the churn, and thank you for the contribution.
