Stacked on #14466.

For a packslip tool, fnox@latest and fnox@1 could resolve to different releases for the same reason. latest verifies each candidate and skips a release this host cannot install: one with no artifact for this platform or variant, a missing stamp from a configured stamper, an unmet requirement such as glibc, or one logged after the minimum_release_age cutoff. A prefix such as fnox@1 took the newest match without looking at it, so a release latest would have skipped got resolved and then failed at install.

A prefix now walks its matches newest first the same way, and resolves to the newest release latest would also accept:

$ mise latest 'packslip:jdx/packslip[variant=nope]@0'
mise WARN  packslip:github.com/jdx/packslip: skipping 0.3.1: no artifact for linux/x86_64/gnu with variant "nope". The release has: …
mise WARN  packslip:github.com/jdx/packslip: skipping 0.3.0: no artifact for linux/x86_64/gnu with variant "nope". …
…
mise ERROR no release of packslip:github.com/jdx/packslip matching 0 can be installed; the warnings above say why each was skipped

Before, the same command printed 0.3.1, and mise install failed with no artifact for linux/x86_64/gnu with variant "nope". When some matches are refused and an older one is fine, the older one is chosen, with a warning naming each release skipped.

When every match is refused, the request now fails with the error above. An empty match list would otherwise send resolution on to install the prefix as written (0), and that fails with a misleading "has no release 0". An exact version (fnox@1.39.0) is not walked: it names its release, and install explains why that release is refused. Offline, nothing is verified, the same as for latest. The listing's own dates still drop releases that are plainly too new before anything is verified, so the default 24h minimum_release_age does not add a warning per fresh release.

Verifying a match costs a manifest download the first time. #14466 keeps a verification that passed for a day, so a warm fnox@1 still makes one request:

mise latest fnox@1	cold	warm
main	112ms: data/fnox.toml, policy probe	116ms: the same 2 requests
this PR	497ms: data/fnox.toml, policy probe, releases/v1.39.0, the manifest	62ms: the policy probe only

The cold cost is the price of checking the release before choosing it, as latest already does. Measured with release builds, median of 3 cold and 5 warm runs, isolated cache, data and state dirs, requests counted from MISE_TRACE=1.

Tests

• Unit, on eligible_matches (the walk the prefix resolver runs after listing): with the newest match refused, 1 resolves to the older release latest also picks; an exact version is not checked; no match is not an error; every match refused is the new error; a verification failure stops the walk.
• e2e test_packslip: packslip:jdx/packslip[variant=nope]@0 verifies and skips every 0.x release, mise install reports the new error, and a later @0 reuses those verifications.
• Ran clippy (-D warnings), the packslip unit tests and the packslip e2e tests.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes packslip version resolution for fuzzy prefixes, adding network verification on cold paths; behavior shifts from “resolve then fail at install” to “skip ineligible releases,” which is intentional but affects any prefix/variant/stamp combinations.

Overview
Packslip prefix resolution (@0, @1, etc.) now uses the same eligibility walk as latest, so fuzzy matches are verified on this host before resolution picks the newest acceptable release instead of the newest tag alone.

New helpers eligible_matches and ends_at_exact trim the ordered match list to the newest version that passes manifest/policy checks (artifacts, variants, stamps, minimum_release_age, requirements). Skipped candidates emit warnings; if every match is refused, resolution fails with a clear “no release … matching … can be installed” error instead of deferring to install. Exact version pins are unchanged—they are not walked, and install still explains refusal. admits centralizes the skip-or-warn logic shared by latest and prefix listing.

Tests: unit coverage on eligible_matches and e2e cases for packslip:jdx/packslip[variant=nope]@0 (verify, skip, install error, verification reuse).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Fuzzy version lookups now select the newest candidate that passes eligibility checks, skipping candidates whose artifacts are unavailable or excluded by policy.
  • Prefix and partial-version lookups apply the same eligibility checks as latest and can reuse prior verification results.
  • Exact version requests remain unchanged.
  • When no candidate can be installed, the lookup reports that there is no eligible match.
  • Verification failures are reported rather than treated as policy exclusions.

📝 Walkthrough

Packslip now applies shared admission checks in version selection. Latest lookup and prefix lookup use the same candidate filtering. Tests now cover refused versions, exact matches, empty results, verification failures, and repeated prefix lookups.

Changes: Packslip candidate eligibility

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Shared candidate admission src/backend/packslip.rs	PackslipBackend::admits now wraps candidate exclusion checks, returns false for policy exclusions, and propagates verification errors. Latest lookup now calls this helper. The match helper keeps exact and empty results, and it errors when all matches are refused.
Fuzzy-version eligibility src/backend/packslip.rs, e2e/backend/test_packslip	Prefix resolution now checks matching versions newest-first and returns matches through the newest admitted version. Exact queries stop at the exact version. Unit and end-to-end tests cover refused candidates, empty results, verification failures, and repeated prefix lookups.

2569-2569: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Offline resolution can return a different match than online resolution.

The condition ends_at_exact(&mut versions, query) truncates versions as a side effect. The || chain evaluates it before Settings::get().offline(). In the offline case the truncation is harmless, because the function returns versions either way and an exact match is the correct final answer. The ordering is still easy to misread. The mutation hides inside a boolean condition, which makes it fragile under later edits.

Split the check into two statements: first ends_at_exact, then the empty and offline checks. This adds no behavior change, so it is a low-priority readability fix.

Instruction counts

Nothing was compared, and so nothing was gated. No series appears on both sides: either the base has no measurements recorded, or the two were measured on different runner classes, which are deliberately not comparable — counts shift between machine types by more than a real regression does.

New, nothing to compare against: env on jdx-perf-v1-ubuntu24.04-x64-mise-rust1.97.1-img5263c143, hook-env on jdx-perf-v1-ubuntu24.04-x64-mise-rust1.97.1-img5263c143, ls on jdx-perf-v1-ubuntu24.04-x64-mise-rust1.97.1-img5263c143, registry on jdx-perf-v1-ubuntu24.04-x64-mise-rust1.97.1-img5263c143, startup on jdx-perf-v1-ubuntu24.04-x64-mise-rust1.97.1-img5263c143
