Description

### Description

I am using [mise](https://mise.jdx.dev/) to manage all my toolchain right now. Currently, [viteplus](https://mise.jdx.dev/registry.html#tools) does not show up in registry, nor is there an easy way to install without running an installation script.

### Suggested solution

It would be great if it’s possible to install the `vp` CLI via mise like `mise use -g vite-plus` or `mise use -g vp`.

The [recommended method](https://mise.jdx.dev/dev-tools/backends/aqua.html) would be to put it in the [aqua registry](https://github.com/aquaproj/aqua-registry). Alternatively, mise can also [install binaries from GitHub Releases](https://mise.jdx.dev/dev-tools/backends/http.html), however Vite+ doesn’t publish binaries via GitHub Releases yet (right now binaries seems to be published on npm, however, I would not recommend using [npm backend](https://mise.jdx.dev/dev-tools/backends/npm.html) because it depends on Node.js, which `vp` intends to manage).

### Alternative

### Additional context

I tried using the [http backend](https://mise.jdx.dev/dev-tools/backends/http.html) to install `vp` CLI directly from npm registry without going through npm CLI.

```toml
# ~/.config/mise/config.toml
[tools]
"http:vite-plus" = {
version = "0.1.11",
platforms = {
macos-arm64 = { url = "https://registry.npmjs.org/@voidzero-dev/vite-plus-cli-darwin-arm64/-/vite-plus-cli-darwin-arm64-{{version}}.tgz" },
macos-x64 = { url = "https://registry.npmjs.org/@voidzero-dev/vite-plus-cli-darwin-x64/-/vite-plus-cli-darwin-x64-{{version}}.tgz" },
linux-x64 = { url = "https://registry.npmjs.org/@voidzero-dev/vite-plus-cli-linux-x64-gnu/-/vite-plus-cli-linux-x64-gnu-{{version}}.tgz" },
linux-arm64 = { url = "https://registry.npmjs.org/@voidzero-dev/vite-plus-cli-linux-arm64-gnu/-/vite-plus-cli-linux-arm64-gnu-{{version}}.tgz" },
windows-x64 = { url = "https://registry.npmjs.org/@voidzero-dev/vite-plus-cli-win32-x64-msvc/-/vite-plus-cli-win32-x64-msvc-{{version}}.tgz" },
windows-arm64 = { url = "https://registry.npmjs.org/@voidzero-dev/vite-plus-cli-win32-arm64-msvc/-/vite-plus-cli-win32-arm64-msvc-{{version}}.tgz" }
}
}
```

This is based on [the description on the docs](https://viteplus.dev/guide/):

> Vite+ ships in two parts: `vp`, the global command-line tool, and `vite-plus`, the local package installed in each project.

```sh-session
$ mise install
http:vite-plus@0.1.11 generate checksum vite-plus-cli-darwin-arm64-0.1.11.tgz
✅ Installed successfully. Confirmed vp binary is installed on both Mac and Linux.

$ vp help
VITE+ - The Unified Toolchain for the Web
✅ `vp help` works

$ vp create
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1459
throw err;

Node.js v24.14.0
❌ `vp create` installs Node v24.14.0 correctly, but then crashes

$ mise uninstall http:vite-plus
🧹 Uninstall the `vp` CLI managed by mise (manually remove the config afterwards after running)
```

It seems like the `vp` CLI also kinda [depends on the `vite-plus` npm package **being installed globally**](https://github.com/voidzero-dev/vite-plus/blob/3782ae1951e7fd7d98827d688905e2c4cb670961/crates/vite_global_cli/src/js_executor.rs#L200-L204) which prevented this setup from working.
