Description

Context

Live installs now use pnpm 11 global virtual store with a shared files store and workspace-local mutable link metadata. The current implementation deliberately purges GVS link state when policy surfaces change, which is correct but coarse.

Proposal

Explore a more precise strategy:

  • partition workspace-local GVS link state by install policy hash instead of deleting it wholesale
  • emit task telemetry that distinguishes lockfile, policy, generated-config, and GVS-link invalidation causes
  • keep fixed-output Nix dependency prep isolated from live GVS unless a relocatable GVS artifact is proven safe

Acceptance criteria

  • Warm pnpm:install status paths explain why they miss.
  • Policy changes do not force unrelated reinstall work when a hash-partitioned cache can be reused safely.
  • FOD prep remains reproducible and does not archive dangling builder-local GVS links.

Research direction

Start by tracing the warm pnpm:install status paths and the current global virtual store link-state purge, then inspect how fixed-output dependency preparation handles GVS links. Done means status misses identify their invalidation cause, reusable policy partitions avoid unrelated reinstall work, and FOD preparation remains reproducible without dangling builder-local links.
