Backend plugins now get RUNTIME.cacheDirPath, a directory under mise's cache that belongs to the plugin, so a plugin that serves many tools can keep a large shared download in one place.

function PLUGIN:BackendListVersions(ctx)
    local index = RUNTIME.cacheDirPath .. "/01-index.tar"
    -- download once, then extend it with a Range request on later runs
end
  • The path is $MISE_CACHE_DIR/plugins/<plugin-name>. mise creates it before running a hook, and every hook of the plugin sees the same path.
  • It survives reinstalling the plugin, unlike pluginDirPath.
  • mise cache clear already deletes the whole cache directory, so it covers this too. Plugins must cope with it being missing.
  • It is nil where there is no cache directory configured.

I did not change mise cache prune.

Closes discussion #14757.

Note

Low Risk
Additive plugin API and cache-path wiring with conservative nil-on-failure behavior; no changes to install/auth or existing RUNTIME fields beyond a new optional property.

Overview
Adds RUNTIME.cacheDirPath so vfox/mise plugins can use a persistent per-plugin cache under $MISE_CACHE_DIR/plugins/<name> (survives plugin reinstall; cleared with mise cache clear).

Vfox now sets each plugin’s cache path via configure_plugin (replacing scattered runtime_env_type assignments), with guards so path-like plugin names and an empty cache root never yield a writable path outside the intended tree. Plugin stores cache_dir_path and only exposes it to Lua through usable_cache_dir_path(), which creates the directory before hooks run or returns nil if creation fails. Runtime / cross-platform PreInstall pass that optional path through Runtime::get and Runtime::with_platform.

Lua types and docs document lifecycle and nil when no cache is available. Tests cover exposure, creation failure, and name/path edge cases.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Plugins can use a persistent, plugin-specific cache directory across hooks and reinstalls.
    • The cache directory is available through RUNTIME.cacheDirPath and is created automatically when possible.
    • Plugins can handle cases where the cache directory is unavailable or unset.
    • Cache directories are removed when the application cache is cleared.
  • Documentation

    • Added documentation covering cache behavior, lifecycle, availability, and error handling.

📝 Walkthrough

Plugin configuration assigns each plugin a persistent cache directory and passes its path to the Lua runtime. Hooks read the path through RUNTIME.cacheDirPath. Tests and documentation cover availability, creation failures, path validation, and lifecycle.

Changes: Plugin Cache Directory

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure and pass the plugin cache path
crates/vfox/src/plugin.rs, crates/vfox/src/vfox.rs, crates/vfox/src/runtime.rs
Plugin configuration assigns a per-plugin path under the cache directory. The helper creates the directory when possible and returns None when creation fails. Path-like plugin names do not receive a cache path. The optional path reaches the runtime.
Expose the cache path to Lua hooks
crates/vfox/src/runtime.rs, crates/vfox/src/hooks/pre_install.rs, crates/vfox/types/mise-plugin.lua, docs/plugin-lua-modules.md, crates/vfox/src/vfox/tests.rs
The runtime exposes RUNTIME.cacheDirPath, including during platform-specific pre-install execution. Tests cover absent, configured, failed, and invalid-name cache paths. The type and documentation describe the field and lifecycle.

This change adds an optional per-plugin cache directory path for Lua hooks. The path is validated and falls back to nil when it is unavailable. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not expose cache paths for path-like plugin names.

vfox:.. can reach get_sdk. Plugin::from_dir preserves .. as plugin.name, so configure_plugin can assign $MISE_CACHE_DIR/plugins/... Hook initialization then creates and exposes $MISE_CACHE_DIR, outside the per-plugin cache directory.

59-60: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a platform-override cache-path assertion.

The configured cache path is forwarded by pre_install_for_platform_with_options, but no test calls this boundary with a configured cache. The current tests only inspect the host runtime or pass None, so they would still pass if the forwarding argument were removed.

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

Only instruction counts gate. Wall clock is shown for context — on identical hardware it moves 4-20% run to run.

Measured by tak — instruction-counted CLI benchmarks, stored in this repository's git notes.
