📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe linker now validates dependency links against expected targets and repairs stale entries across materialization and hoisting paths. Install layout state records nested global virtual-store targets and validates them before the isolated warm path runs. Regression tests cover stale-link repair and retarget detection. ChangesGlobal virtual-store link integrity
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change repairs nested dependency links and records their expected targets, but the current implementation can still interfere with concurrent installs and can fail an otherwise completed install when a nested link is unreadable, potentially forcing repeated cold installs. These bounded correctness and availability risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

crate::sys::create_dir_link(&stale_bar, &nested_bar)stores an absolute target. On non-Windows the production linker stores a relative target, as computed incrates/aube-linker/src/materialize.rsLines 738-751.reconcile_dir_linkcompares the stored string against the expected relative target, so this link is rejected for its absolute shape, not for pointing at the wrong sibling identity.The test therefore passes, but it would keep passing even if reconciliation only rejected absolute-versus-relative mismatches and never compared sibling identity. A relative stale target reproduces the reported shape and still fails without the fix.

In `@crates/aube-linker/src/materialize.rs`:
- Around line 374-381: The symlink creation path after reconcile_dir_link must
tolerate concurrent recreation of a shared GVS link. When sys::create_dir_link
returns AlreadyExists, call reconcile_dir_link again and continue only if it
confirms the existing link targets target; otherwise propagate the original
create_dir_link error. Keep other errors unchanged, using the existing
reconcile_dir_link and create_dir_link symbols.
In `@crates/aube-linker/src/sweep.rs`:
- Around line 338-342: Update the documentation for reconcile_dir_link to remove
the claim that dangling links are removed; describe only the states the function
actually detects and its Ok(true)/Ok(false) return contract.
In `@crates/aube/src/commands/install/startup.rs`:
- Around line 125-130: Update the warm-path check around
gvs_nested_links_are_current to distinguish missing state from stale links: when
layout.gvs_nested_links is None, log that global virtual store links were never
recorded; otherwise retain the stale-links reason when the recorded links are no
longer current. Preserve the existing return-false behavior and use the public
InstallLayoutState field.
In `@crates/aube/src/state.rs`:
- Around line 1224-1239: Update the global virtual store link recording in
from_graph so an unreadable nested link makes topology recording return None
rather than propagating the error and failing installation; extract the
link-collection block into a helper returning Result<Option<BTreeMap<String,
String>>, std::io::Error>, preserving ? for genuine errors. Also skip recording
links whose read_link target is not valid UTF-8 instead of using
to_string_lossy, preventing stale_gvs_nested_link from reporting them as changed
on every install.

Summary
Root cause
The install warm path only verified project-facing entries and returned before the linker. A forced/full install also treated a valid project
.aubelink or existing GVS package directory as a complete cache hit without checking the dependency links inside that shared entry. A stale nested link could therefore preserve a second package identity indefinitely.Fixes the behavior reported in discussion #1298.

Note
Medium Risk
Changes linker cache-hit behavior and install warm-path gating for GVS nested topology; incorrect reconciliation could break module resolution, but behavior is covered by new tests and path validation on repair.
Overview
Fixes a case where warm installs and GVS cache hits could leave nested
node_moduleslinks inside shared global virtual-store packages pointing at an old dependency identity even when the lockfile graph had moved on.The linker now
reconcile_virtual_store_entry: on a fresh-looking GVS package it walks declared dependencies and uses sharedreconcile_dir_link(moved fromreconcile_top_level_linkinsweep.rs) to fix or recreate wrong/missing nested links, including on the fast path when the parent entry is cached. Windows junction reconciliation drops the process-wide canonicalize cache so concurrent repairs stay correct.Install state gains optional
gvs_nested_links(project-relative path → expected link target) for isolated + GVS layouts. The warm path is skipped when that map is absent (pre-tracking state) orgvs_nested_links_are_currentfails; layout verification flags changed/missing nested links.use_global_virtual_storeis passed when writing state so recording only runs when GVS is active.Tests cover stale nested link repair on warm
link_all, git/GVS parents, and rejection of path-escape dependency names during repair.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 891bce2. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
