Thanks for the review! |

Hello, Many thanks to @ychampion for the fix! Any plans to make a release anytime soon? I'm pretty sure that the issue is currently blocking many Yarn users from being able to use TypeScript 7 with TS6 API bridge. CC @larixer |

@AndrewMax I don't have power to make Yarn releases, I can only review and merge PRs if they pass required tests. |

## What's the problem this PR addresses? A review of recent Berry PRs identified several fixes and regression tests that also apply to zpm. This PR backports them in one batch. ## How did I fix it? **Bug fixes (the ported regression tests reproduced each of these before the fix):** - yarnpkg/berry#7205 — `*` now resolves to prereleases when a package has no stable version. The fallback only applies to a literal `*` range (not the internal `>=0.0.0-0` any-range), and `--check-resolutions` accepts the resulting prerelease pins. - yarnpkg/berry#7216 — the nm linker now prefers direct dependency binaries over transitively-hoisted aliases when two packages expose the same bin name, instead of resolving collisions by ident order. - yarnpkg/berry#7209 — commands that need an npm OTP now fail with a `--otp` hint when not attached to an interactive terminal, instead of blocking forever on a prompt. - yarnpkg/berry#7255 — `yarn npm audit --recursive --environment production` no longer reports advisories only reachable through a nested workspace's devDependencies. - yarnpkg/berry#7253 — `yarn info --virtuals` now reports base descriptors alongside virtual locators (zpm had the mirror image of Berry's bug: correct locators, virtualized descriptors). - yarnpkg/berry#7206 — a failed Algolia auto-types lookup no longer aborts `yarn add`; it degrades to a warning (with the `enableAutoTypes` escape hatch) and the lookup is bounded by a 10s per-request timeout. **Feature:** - yarnpkg/berry#7243 — `supportedArchitectures` additionally accepts a list of explicit os/cpu/libc combinations (matched per-entry, no cross-product), with the same config syntax as Berry. **Tests only (zpm's behavior was already correct):** - yarnpkg/berry#7250 / yarnpkg/berry#7257 — gate bypass for packages without release-time metadata, plus the `no-time-deps` fixture and registry-mock support. - yarnpkg/berry#7214 — scoped-gate inheritance tests, adapted to zpm's `packageRules`/`sourceRules` model (zpm's Option-based overrides make Berry's default-shadowing bug structurally impossible). **Artifact sync:** - Re-ran `scripts/import-artifacts.mjs` against Berry master, picking up yarnpkg/berry#7232 and the extensions hunk of yarnpkg/berry#7228 (8 new package extensions: 5 Volar `typescript` peers, `vite-plugin-vue-devtools`, 2 Parcel entries) along with forward-only PnP hook/patch updates. ## Checklist - [x] I have read the [Contributing Guide](https://yarnpkg.com/advanced/contributing). - [x] I have checked that all the impacted tests pass: the touched acceptance suites (npmMinimalAgeGate, prunedNativeDeps, protocols/npm, npm/audit, info, publish, node-modules, packageExtensions, checkResolutions, add) pass 215/218 (3 skipped), plus `cargo test` for zpm-config (7) and zpm-semver (108). The only remaining local failures reproduce identically on a pristine `main` build (venv/Python environment, one live-Algolia-data test, `path_iterators` and two lazyInstalls focus-coverage tests). <!-- CURSOR_SUMMARY --> --- > [!NOTE] > **Medium Risk** > Touches core install resolution, architecture filtering, and audit traversal; behavior changes are intentional but affect many installs and multi-arch fetches. > > **Overview** > Backports a batch of Berry fixes and tests into zpm, covering install resolution, CLI behavior, configuration, and artifact sync. > > **Resolution & install:** Literal `*` ranges can resolve to prereleases when no stable versions exist, with matching `--check-resolutions` acceptance.

What's the problem this PR addresses?
Closes #7215.
With the node-modules linker, packages that export the same binary currently overwrite each other in traversal order. A transitive alias can therefore replace a direct dependency binary, as in the TypeScript 6/7 setup where
.bin/tscpoints to@typescript/old.How did you fix it?
Bin collection now keeps the first target for a name, preserving the direct dependency encountered before its transitive dependency.
The regression uses aliased fixture packages and checks both the persisted root bin target and the generated
.binexecutable.Validation
