fix: aube npm lifecycle scripts + claude-memory-backup off-main guard - #24
Merged
Conversation
mise 2026.8.5 changed the npm backend: it now resolves and links packages itself instead of shelling out to npm, and it passes --ignore-scripts. @endevco/aube ships no bin/ -- its "preinstall" runs installArchSpecificPackage.js, which downloads the ~48M arch-specific binary. With scripts skipped, mise installed a package with no executable, recorded backend metadata saying so, and dropped the aube / aubr / aubx shims entirely. `aube` became command-not-found. Both settings are required; verified by removing each in turn: - shell_out = true alone: npm runs but still with --ignore-scripts, and mise warns it skipped the preinstall. - npm_args alone (shell_out = false): mise's internal installer ignores it and the binary is never fetched. Together: install is clean, `aube --version` and `aubx --version` both report 1.38.1 through the shims. shell_out = true does reintroduce npm subprocesses, which is the surface the 2026-08-12 fork bomb recursed through. That is acceptable only because the box now runs mise 2026.8.5, which includes jdx/mise#8475 (shims stripped from dependency_env PATH). Do not set this on a mise older than 2026.8.2. Lives here rather than machine-local ~/.config/mise/config.toml so a fresh machine reproduces a working aube.

The commit lands on whatever branch the mirror repo has checked out, but the push below it names main. On any other branch that pair strands the backup: the commit goes to the feature branch, `push origin main` ships an unchanged main, and the script exits 0 — indistinguishable from "mirrored, nothing changed". Found 2026-08-13 with the mirror on feat/selective-prod-tooling. It now refuses and says which branch it found. Already live in ~/.local/bin; this brings the source into line via `chezmoi add` so a fresh machine inherits the guard.

Two independent fixes that were sitting unpushed on this box.
fix: let aube's preinstall run so mise installs a working binary(c45e582) —npm.shell_outalone isn't enough; aube's preinstall is what fetches the arch-specific binary, so withoutnpm_args = "--ignore-scripts=false"mise installs a package whose shims don't work.fix: claude-memory-backup must not silently no-op off main(5493890) — the commit lands on the checked-out branch while the push namesmain. Off main, the backup goes to the feature branch,push origin mainships an unchanged main, and the script exits 0 — which reads exactly like "mirrored, nothing changed". Found today with the mirror onfeat/selective-prod-tooling. It now refuses and names the branch. The guard was already live in~/.local/bin; this brings the chezmoi source into line so a fresh machine inherits it.Verified on this box:
chezmoi statusis clean, a fresh interactive zsh starts without error, andmise install -yreports all tools installed.
