A patch release: broader pnpm patch-key support, catalog and upgrade fixes, and a link-time performance improvement.
Package-manager compatibility
| Area | What changed | Commit |
|---|---|---|
| Patched dependencies | Accept pnpm's name-only (foo), range (foo@>=1), and wildcard (foo@*) patchedDependencies keys, not just exact name@version. Each resolved version maps to the applicable patch by pnpm's priority (exact > single satisfying range > all); an all-exact project's install and lockfile bytes are unchanged. (#376) |

| Catalogs | nub add --save-catalog under nub identity now writes the entry to the neutral workspaces.catalog field the resolver reads, instead of a pnpm-named workspace YAML nub identity does not read — which previously left a dangling catalog: reference and failed the follow-up resolve. The write target is pre-flighted so a catalog entry that cannot land no longer mutates the dependent manifest. (#369) |

Upgrade
nub upgrade on the Homebrew channel now runs brew update before brew upgrade, so a stale tap checkout no longer reports the installed version as newest and misses a published release. (#375, abf82e5)
Performance
The hoisted macOS link pass memoizes the per-package clonedir volume probe across a process, so it runs a handful of times per install instead of once per package. Install output is byte-identical. (#390, 6725571)
