fix(linker): prefer commonly used hoisted versions - #1296
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughWorkspace hoisting now ranks package versions across the workspace. Root direct dependencies take priority. Other versions are ranked by distinct regular and peer dependent usage. Planning can defer conflicting root candidates and includes convergence handling. ChangesWorkspace hoisting preferences
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The hoisting change can still prefer a dependency version that cannot occupy the workspace root slot, causing the intended commonly used version to be deferred and a less-preferred version to win instead. This can leave duplicate package copies and inconsistent module identity, so the root-slot eligibility issue should be fixed before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

root_directcan name a version that the ranking never saw.
root_directis inserted for every root-importer dependency, including dep paths that are absent fromgraph.packages. Thecandidatesmap only contains entries built from the same importer loop, so the name key exists in both maps androot_direct.remove(&name)wins. That is the intended precedence.One residual case: a root direct dep whose name never reaches
candidatescannot happen today, because the importer loop inserts intoentriesfor every dep. If a future filter skips some deps (see the previous comment), the leftoverroot_directentries would be dropped silently. Insert the remainingroot_directpairs intopreferredafter the loop to keep root precedence unconditional.♻️ Proposed hardening

969-1009: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAdd a test for the forced-placement fallback.
The three new tests cover usage ranking, root precedence, and successful deferral. They do not cover the
force_nextbranch incomplete_plan, which is the branch that guarantees termination.Add a case where the preferred dep path is never enqueued at the root floor. Example: make the preferred version reachable only through an importer that is not root-reachable, or only through a
link:dependency. Assert that planning terminates and that the stable first candidate takes the root slot.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

544-563: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low valueDeferral rotation is quadratic in the queue length.
Each deferral rotates one entry to the back and re-runs
should_defer_for_preference, which walks the ancestor chain. When many entries defer at once, the loop rotates the whole queue beforeforce_nextreleases one entry. For large workspace graphs this is O(n²·depth) in the worst case.The convergence guard itself is correct: a deferral keeps
queue.len()constant, soconsecutive_deferrals >= queue.len()always fires after one full rotation.If profiling shows this path is hot, track the set of names that are still waiting for a preferred dep path and skip the rotation once that set is empty.

- Around line 412-450: Update build_workspace_preferences to exclude link:
dependencies and dependencies from importers that are not root-reachable,
mirroring plan_workspace’s root_reachable computation and importer floor rules
before collecting preference entries. Apply the same eligibility filter while
walking transitives, and stop expanding when a link: package is encountered so
unreachable or pinned candidates cannot win root preference ranking.

Summary
Root cause
The workspace hoister seeded importers in path order and let the first request claim each root name slot. An alphabetically earlier workspace could therefore place a less-used version at the root, forcing a later direct dependency and its peer-dependent consumer into separate physical copies of the same version.
This follows pnpm/Yarn's preference model closely enough for aube's graph: root direct dependencies win first, then distinct dependent plus peer-dependent usage, with stable discovery order as the tie-breaker.

Note
Medium Risk
Changes default hoisted workspace layout (
HoistingLimits::None) and can alter which version sits at the root, affecting module identity and peer resolution; logic is localized to the planner with extensive tests.Overview
Fixes hoisted workspace installs where the first importer in path order could claim the root
node_modulesslot for a package name, leaving a more widely used version nested and breaking shared singletons (e.g. React with peer-dependent packages).For
HoistingLimits::None, workspace planning now precomputes a preferreddep_pathper package name across the full lockfile graph: explicit workspace-root direct deps win, otherwise the version with the most distinct dependents and peer dependents wins, with stable discovery order as the tie-break. Non-rootlink:deps are excluded from root preference.complete_plantakes that map and defers root-slot placements that are not the preferred version until the winner can be placed, with a convergence fallback when the preferred version never enters the queue. Module docs and tests cover usage ranking, root overrides, deferral, link exclusion, and fallback behavior.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit ac1b6f3.
