v2026.7.12: : Safe mode, node-free npm, and a built-in OCI push client

Compare Source

This release centers on running mise safely against untrusted config, shipping node-free npm: version resolution and installs, and replacing external tools (skopeo/crane, gpg) with built-in, dependency-free implementations. Along the way it fixes a prefer_offline timeout regression, several config/env correctness issues, and platform-specific problems on Windows and macOS.

Highlights

• New MISE_SAFE=1 mode turns mise into an inert config reader so automation (CI, Renovate) can run mise lock --bump against untrusted branches without trust prompts or arbitrary code execution.
• The npm: backend no longer needs node or npm installed to resolve or install packages — version metadata is fetched over HTTP and installs run in-process via the embedded aube package manager.
• mise oci push gained a full built-in registry client: no more skopeo/crane, with blob dedup, chunked uploads, retries, cross-repo mounts, layer reuse from prior images, and multi-arch image indexes.

Added

• Safe mode: a new global-only safe setting (MISE_SAFE=1) makes mise refuse or ignore anything that would let project config execute code or inject environment. Blocked (with errors): template exec()/read_file(), _.source, hooks, tasks, asdf plugin scripts, and plugin installs. Ignored: project [env], _.path, _.file, [shell_alias], and [settings]. HTTP-based version resolution, lockfile refresh/bump, and already-installed/embedded plugins keep working. Because a config loaded this way is inert, safe mode also skips the trust requirement. (#​11146, #​11151 by @​jdx)

  MISE_SAFE=1 mise lock --bump --dry-run --json   # detect updates with zero code execution, no trust needed

• mise lock --bump: advance fuzzy lockfile selectors (latest, lts, prefixes like "20") to the newest matching remote versions without installing anything and without touching mise.toml. Exact pins stay put. Pairs with --json and --dry-run for a CI job that opens lockfile-only PRs. (#​11145 by @​jdx)

  $ mise lock --bump --dry-run --json
  [{ "name": "node", "backend": "core:node", "old_versions": ["22.14.0"], "new_versions": ["22.15.0"] }]

• Node-free npm: backend: mise ls-remote npm:* and latest resolution now query the npm registry directly over HTTP, and installs run in-process through the embedded aube package manager. node is only needed to run installed tools (and their lifecycle scripts), not to install them. User ~/.npmrc, scoped registries, auth, and minimum_release_age are honored. A new npm.shell_out setting (MISE_NPM_SHELL_OUT) routes both metadata and installs through the npm CLI for setups relying on npm-only config like cafile or client certs. (#​11147, #​11149 by @​jdx)

• Built-in OCI registry client: mise oci push no longer requires skopeo or crane. It uses an in-tree OCI Distribution client that uploads only blobs the registry is missing, resolves credentials the way docker/podman do (docker login/podman login is all the setup needed), and answers registry auth challenges so private base-image pulls via --from also work. mise oci run --engine docker now streams the image into docker load instead of needing skopeo. The --tool flag was removed. (#​11132 by @​jdx)

• OCI push robustness: large layers upload in 64 MiB chunks, transient failures retry with mise's standard backoff, base layers are mounted cross-repo (?mount=) when they already live on the destination registry (zero bytes transferred), and pushes/pulls now show byte progress. A new oci.insecure_registries setting opts non-loopback registries into plain HTTP. (#​11141 by @​jdx)

• OCI layer reuse: mise oci push reuses unchanged tool layers from the previously pushed image (or --cache-from REF), skipping the tar/gzip build entirely — reused tools don't even need to be installed locally. --no-cache forces a full rebuild. (#​11142 by @​jdx)

• Multi-arch OCI images: mise oci push --update-index points a tag at an OCI image index and upserts the current platform while preserving entries pushed by other architectures, so one runner per arch can assemble a multi-arch tag. (#​11144 by @​jdx)

• Built-in signature verification: Node.js and Swift download signatures are now verified in-process with the pure-Rust rPGP crate against the bundled keyrings, dropping the external gpg binary dependency. Note: previously, if gpg was missing and the setting was unset, verification was silently skipped; now verification always runs when enabled — opt out with gpg_verify = false. (#​11148 by @​jdx)

• Relative bootstrap repo paths: [bootstrap.repos] destination keys can now be relative paths, resolved against the declaring project's root (with guards preventing escape outside the project tree), making a project's mise.toml portable across machines. (#​11155 by @​lilienblum)

Fixed

• http: mise lock, ls-remote, outdated, and upgrade no longer get capped to a single 3s no-retry attempt when prefer_offline is set — they honor the configured fetch_remote_versions_timeout and retry budget again, fixing spurious timeouts. Interactive fast paths keep their bounded behavior. (#​11190 by @​jdx)
• lock: unfiltered mise lock no longer prunes OS-restricted tool entries (e.g. os = ["macos"]) when run on a platform that doesn't target them, keeping shared lockfiles stable across platforms. (#​11175 by @​jdx)
• env: values loaded from _.file env files now resolve references to variables defined in earlier files or [env] blocks instead of collapsing to empty, fixing flaky dotenv behavior. (#​11158 by @​Marukome0743)
• env: [env] _.source now works on Windows by resolving a real POSIX bash (Git Bash / MSYS2, honoring MISE_BASH_PATH) instead of the WSL launcher or a missing bash.exe, and correctly filters MSYS runtime noise and converts prepended PATH entries back to Windows form. (#​11097 by @​JamBalaya56562)
• config: trusted_config_paths (MISE_TRUSTED_CONFIG_PATHS) now overrides configs previously added to the ignore list, so a settings-trusted config is actually discovered and loaded. (#​11152 by @​JamBalaya56562)
• config: env/vars array parsing is now consistent — accidental array forms for vars and task env/vars are rejected with clear errors, while the intentional [[env]] and directive-level arrays (_.source, _.file, _.path) remain supported. (#​11060 by @​risu729)
• config: mise config set no longer panics when descending into a non-table value. (#​11153 by @​Marukome0743)
• config: clearer warnings for unsupported semver ranges. (#​11176 by @​risu729)
• hook-env: entering a directory with an untrusted config now prints a single concise warning (... is not trusted, run 'mise trust' to enable it) instead of the full error chain. Explicit commands still show the full trust error and prompt. (#​11159 by @​lilienblum)
• activate: mise activate zsh no longer hangs non-interactive login shells under Rosetta — a v2026.7.11 regression where env-state snapshotting autoloaded the zsh/parameter module via dlopen. (#​11188 by @​jdx)
• brew-cask: case-insensitive app bundle lookup (fixing casks like yaak) and correct resolution of preflight-generated wrapper scripts on the extract stage (fixing vlc). (#​11164 by @​donbeave)
• brew: cask binaries can symlink into /usr/local on arm64. (#​11174 by @​jdx)
• backend: qualified prerelease suffixes are now detected correctly. (#​11179 by @​risu729)
• completions: avoid a network lookup during usage completion. (#​11169 by @​jdx)
• link: clear a stale incomplete marker when linking a tool. (#​11150 by @​Marukome0743)
• shim: unresolved Windows exe-shim dispatch (e.g. a project-scoped tool run outside the project) now shows the actionable "no version is set" guidance instead of an opaque "cannot find binary path". (#​11189 by @​jdx)
• vfox: preserve inner quotes when a vfox Lua command dispatches through cmd.exe on Windows, fixing commands such as the Yarn 2+ install flow. (#​11166 by @​finalchild)
• github/gitlab/forgejo: statically-linked linux-musl assets are now considered a fallback for Android/Termux when a package publishes no Android-specific asset, so tools like starship, bat, and hk can install there. (#​10730 by @​bltavares)
• deps: avoid installing tools during dry runs, and enforce the experimental gate for task providers. (#​11016, #​11177 by @​risu729)

Documentation

• Document environment-variable backing for file-task arguments and flags, including CLI/env/default precedence. (#​11165 by @​zeitlinger)

Breaking Changes

• mise oci push --tool has been removed. Use mise oci build -o ./img followed by skopeo copy if you need the old escape hatch. (#​11132)
• Node/Swift signature verification now always runs when enabled (external gpg is no longer required). If you relied on a missing gpg binary to skip verification, set gpg_verify = false explicitly. (#​11148)
• The unreleased npm.use_npm_view setting is replaced by npm.shell_out (MISE_NPM_SHELL_OUT). (#​11149)

v2026.7.11: : Task Source Tracking and Activation Speedups

Compare Source

This release sharpens task handling around remote files, global config, and tool selectors, trims redundant work from shell activation, and fixes several bootstrap and platform-specific edge cases.

[!NOTE]
This is the first published release since v2026.7.7 — versions 2026.7.8 through 2026.7.10 were tagged but never published due to a release pipeline issue. Their changes are included here; see Also in this release below.

Added

• config: structured tool definitions now accept version, path, prefix, and ref selectors consistently in root [tools], inline task definitions, task templates, and file-task headers. Exactly one selector is required, and conflicting, missing, or non-string selectors now fail with a clear configuration error instead of silently defaulting or panicking. (#​11069 by @​risu729)

  node = { version = "20" }
  go = { prefix = "1.22" }
  python = { ref = "main" }
  shellcheck = { path = "/opt/shellcheck" }

Fixed

• task: remote HTTP and Git-backed task files now have their #MISE headers parsed, so metadata like tools, description, and hide and inline TOML overrides are honored just like local file tasks. Git-backed task files are also made executable after cloning and on cache hits. (#​11111 by @​Marukome0743)
• task: file tasks loaded from user-global or system configs are now correctly treated as global regardless of their include path, so custom global scripts appear under mise tasks --global, stay out of --local, and use the invoking project root. (#​11106 by @​risu729)
• task: mise tasks info, extended listings, task help, and the MCP tasks resource now report every configuration source contributing to a task, with a new config_sources array in JSON output. Changing metadata in a TOML overlay now correctly invalidates the merged file task's cache. (#​11098 by @​risu729)
• watch: mise --env <profile> watch now propagates the selected environment to the watched task, so profile-specific tasks resolve correctly on each rerun. (#​11114 by @​Marukome0743)
• http: raw executables (such as PHP PHARs like Composer) installed via the HTTP backend are now created readable as well as executable (mode 0755 rather than 0711), fixing "Could not open input file" errors for interpreters run by non-owner users. (#​11135 by @​jdx)
• java: mise latest java@<vendor> now prefers the base vendor variant over dashed specializations and sorts multi-feature vendor prefixes correctly. (#​11109 by @​roele)
• config: reject conflicting tool selectors at parse time (see Added). (#​11069 by @​risu729)
• bootstrap: systemd timers can now reference a managed service by its bare TOML key (e.g. unit = "dotfiles-maintain"), which resolves to dev.mise.<name>.service. Fully qualified names like nginx.service are still written verbatim. (#​11128 by @​jdx)
• bootstrap: Homebrew casks that declare auto_updates are now accepted instead of failing with an unsupported-lifecycle error. (#​11107 by @​casparbreloh)
• bootstrap: macOS defaults handling now treats a missing key or domain as unset rather than erroring during initial setup. (#​11118 by @​roele)
• windows: mise uninstall now removes dangling runtime version pointer files (like 16 or latest) and cleans up the now-empty tool directory. (#​11095 by @​JamBalaya56562)

Performance

• activate: the redundant initial prompt hook that ran immediately after activation is now skipped for bash, zsh, and fish when the session is unchanged, avoiding an extra mise process on shell startup. (#​11130, #​11131, #​11134 by @​jdx)
• backend: archive extraction and macOS hdiutil/pkgutil waits now run via block_in_place, so parallel installs no longer starve download progress and other tasks of runtime threads. (#​11136 by @​jdx)

Registry

• Allow the reviewed @nubjs/nub postinstall lifecycle script to run via the npm backend so upgrades keep the ~/.nub/shims hardlinks refreshed; default-deny behavior is preserved for all other packages. (#​11126 by @​risu729)

Documentation

• environments: clarify mise directory variables (#​11127 by @​jdx)
• Fix dead VersionFox and MCP documentation links (#​11117 by @​Bartok9)
• Add an example showing how to alias multiple tools from one GitHub release (#​11110 by @​LukasKnuth)

Also in this release: v2026.7.8–v2026.7.10

Due to a release pipeline issue, versions 2026.7.8 through 2026.7.10 were tagged but never published. This is the first release since v2026.7.7, so it also ships everything below.

Added

• bootstrap: package manager plugins — vfox Lua plugins can now act as system package managers, with a declarative [bootstrap.plugins] config and mise bootstrap plugins apply|status commands. Declared plugins install before built-in packages, then plugin-managed packages apply once host tools are available. (#​11023, #​11024 by @​jdx)
• bootstrap: new mise bootstrap repos update and mise bootstrap repos exec commands. Unpinned [bootstrap.repos] entries are intentionally never pulled by declarative apply; repos update gives an explicit fetch + fast-forward path (with dry-run and path filtering), and repos exec runs a command across configured checkouts. mise bootstrap --update now also updates repos. (#​11022 by @​jdx)
• registry: opt-in floating registries — with registry_floating, mise fetches the latest released registry metadata (and the current aqua registry) instead of the release-pinned copies. Useful on distributions whose mise package lags behind releases while registry entries keep changing. (#​10971 by @​jdx)
• backend: exact-version fast path — when a request is an exact semver version, the cargo, npm, go, gem, pipx, and dotnet backends now skip fetching the remote version list entirely and let the underlying installer validate it. This speeds up exact pins without a lockfile, first-time mise install tool@x.y.z, and mise x tool@x.y.z. (#​11013 by @​Turbo87, #​11070 by @​jdx)
• task: dependencies whose templated names render to an empty string are now skipped, so templates can conditionally disable a dependency. Empty templated dependency args are omitted as well. (#​11057 by @​risu729, #​11055 by @​jdx)

Fixed

• http: mise now fails fast when the network is unavailable: DNS resolver failures are treated as non-retryable, a process-local circuit opens after hard DNS/connection failures, and remote-version lookups are capped at 3 seconds under prefer_offline. Shims, shell activation, and mise x make one bounded attempt instead of grinding through full retry schedules per endpoint. (#​11066 by @​jdx)
• config: stricter, clearer configuration validation: env directive value aliases (#​11062), env.mise directives (#​11053), and the experimental monorepo root key (#​11052) are deprecated, and non-string postinstall hooks are rejected at parse time (#​11061) (all by @​risu729)
• hooks: hook definitions are validated more strictly — unknown table fields (#​11047) and nested hook arrays (#​11051) are rejected, and the spawned-scripts form is deprecated (#​11043) (all by @​risu729)
• schema: a large batch of JSON schema corrections so editors validate real configs correctly: OCI copy entries (#​11009), bootstrap shell activation (#​11004) and bootstrap hooks (#​11039), structured task tool options (#​11021), required watch file patterns (#​11040), plugin manifest fields (#​11035), root hook definitions (#​11041), integer types for integer settings (#​11037), array-typed deps provider paths (#​11064) (all by @​risu729), and systemd timer/lifecycle options (#​11050 by @​jdx)
• dry runs no longer cause side effects: task setup is skipped (#​11015), install hooks are previewed instead of executed (#​11010), and mise prune --dry-run preserves runtime symlinks (#​11017) (all by @​risu729)
• bootstrap: Homebrew cask metadata is preserved (#​11012) and macOS metadata files in cask artifacts are ignored (#​11063); repo origins are compared transport-agnostically so git@ vs https:// remotes don't trigger spurious mismatches (#​11034 by @​jeremy); static systemd units no longer break bootstrap status (#​11056 by @​jdx)
• backend: prerelease versions without a separator (like 1.2.3rc1) are detected correctly (#​11032 by @​jdx); cargo sparse-index version discovery is restored (#​11011 by @​Turbo87); go resolves direct package module prefixes (#​11054 by @​jdx)
• install: false install env values are treated as removals (#​11033 by @​risu729)
• lockfile: platform-specific tool option variants are preserved instead of being collapsed (#​10999 by @​jdx)
• shell: hyphenated tool names work in shell integrations (#​10961 by @​risu729), and bash deactivate no longer errors on empty array expansions under set -u (#​11026 by @​jdx)
• shim: recursion is prevented when the directory env is filtered (#​10982 by @​risu729)
• task: file tasks resolve source files relative to the task directory (#​11073 by @​JamBalaya56562), and tasks generated from templates inherit the template's output setting (#​11059 by @​risu729)
• launchd: bootout EIO for not-loaded agents is tolerated on macOS (#​10965 by @​hsbt)
• nix: TZDIR is set so timezone tests pass in the sandbox build (#​11019 by @​coryzibell)

Performance

• startup: ~2ms shaved off every invocation — config lookup no longer compiles ~200 glob patterns per startup (literal filenames are stat'd directly), and the clap command tree is built once instead of twice. mise version drops from 8.1ms to 6.6ms, hook-env from 10.9ms to 9.3ms. (#​11025 by @​jdx)
• release: release binaries for linux-x64 and macos-arm64 are now built with profile-guided optimization, trained on a hermetic offline workload covering config load, toolset resolution, hook-env, env rendering, tasks, and exec — ~10% faster on hot paths and ~4% smaller binaries (#​11031 by @​jdx). macOS tarballs now target macOS 12 (#​11027 by @​jdx).
• runtime: default tokio worker threads are capped at 16, avoiding oversized thread pools on many-core machines (#​11029 by @​jdx)

Refactor

• tar extraction, inspection, and verification are consolidated onto jdx-tar, removing the system tar fallback and a duplicate tar implementation — consistent archive behavior across platforms (#​11028 by @​jdx)

Registry

• add zmx (github:neurosnap/zmx) (#​11006 by @​offbyone)
• docker-compose switched from the aqua to the github backend (#​10823 by @​konono)
• eza switched from the asdf to the vfox backend (#​11068 by @​jdx)

Documentation

• templates: clarify exec behavior in dry runs (#​11018 by @​risu729)
