Pull request overview
This PR addresses trust enforcement failures when a cask’s conflicts_with references other casks from third-party taps, ensuring the user doesn’t need to trust uninstalled conflict candidates while still detecting real conflicts.
Changes:
- Prefer installed cask metadata when resolving conflicting casks to avoid loading tap casks unnecessarily.
- Ignore
Homebrew::UntrustedTapErrorwhen evaluating conflicts so untrusted/uninstalled conflict candidates don’t block installs. - Add a regression spec covering the untrusted/uninstalled conflicting cask scenario.

- `conflicts_with` casks may be uninstalled candidates from third-party taps. - Loading those tap casks forces trust for packages the user did not request. - Use installed metadata only so conflicts fail without evaluating untrusted code.
