Description

If the pnpm launcher is gone but .npmrc still points pnpm at it, cloudsmith credential-helper list showed pnpm with no hosts. That hid the broken state: pnpm still tries to run the missing launcher for those hosts and fails.

PNPMInstaller.status() set the launcher path to None when the file did not exist. Then it looked for tokenHelper entries with the value "None", and found none. Now status() matches the .npmrc entries against the expected launcher path, and it still reports the launcher as missing. Docker and Cargo already report hosts whatever the launcher state is.

I also corrected the status() docstring. It described Docker's config.json credHelpers block, not .npmrc.

Before (launcher deleted):

pnpm  (pnpm credential helper for Cloudsmith registries)
  launcher : not installed
  hosts    : none configured

After (launcher deleted):

pnpm  (pnpm credential helper for Cloudsmith registries)
  launcher : not installed
  hosts    : npm.cloudsmith.io

To reproduce, use a temporary HOME and set NPM_CONFIG_USERCONFIG=$HOME/.npmrc. Run cloudsmith credential-helper install pnpm --no-discover, then delete $HOME/.cloudsmith/bin/pnpm-credential-cloudsmith, then run cloudsmith credential-helper list.

Additional Notes

This touches the same status() method as #549, but not the same lines, so the code merges cleanly. The only conflict is the ### Fixed heading in CHANGELOG.md, because both PRs add it.

Hosts installed with --bin-dir didn't show either, because their tokenHelper value is not the default launcher path. NPMRC.helped_hosts() now matches the launcher file name in any directory, the same way Docker and Cargo match on their helper name. uninstall pnpm uses the same lookup, so it now removes those .npmrc entries too, as Docker and Cargo already do. The "launcher" docstring now says it is a str, not a Path.
