Declare the pm CLI floor in the field the CLI actually enforces - #55

package.json declared the compatibility floor as peerDependencies ">=2026.8.7". npm enforces that at install time, but npm never sees a globally installed host CLI, and the pm CLI does not read peerDependencies at all. The CLI enforces exactly one declaration: a top-level pm_min_version in manifest.json. Verified against pm-cli 2026.8.15 rather than assumed. An extension whose manifest declared pm_min_version 2099.1.1 was refused at install with ok:false, its command never registered, and pm health reported extension_pm_min_version_unmet:project:<name>:required=2099.1.1:current=2026.8.15. manifest.json now declares pm_min_version 2026.8.7, the same version the peer floor declares, so whichever enforcement path a consumer takes, the same minimum applies. This introduces no new compatibility claim. The development dependency becomes the exact pin 2026.8.15 so a working copy and CI resolve the same CLI. That newer CLI rewrites the merge-driver fence in .gitattributes to the :v2: form through the prepare script; committing it under an exact pin is what stops that fence flip-flopping between contributors on different CLI versions. compatibility-floor.test.ts binds all three declarations. Each assertion was proved to fail on revert against this tree: removing pm_min_version exits 1, loosening the pin back to a caret range exits 1, and setting the manifest floor to any version other than the peer floor exits 1.

Hey - I've found 1 issue, and left some high level feedback:
- The manual numeric comparison of CLI and floor versions in
tests/compatibility-floor.test.tsis fragile for pre-release or non-standard semver and would be more robust if delegated to a shared semver helper or library. - The
EXACT_VERSIONregex intests/compatibility-floor.test.tsonly allows strictx.y.zversions; if the project ever uses pre-release or build metadata (e.g.,-beta), consider widening or centralizing this constraint to match the intended versioning policy.

**nitpick (typo):** Consider adding "is" in the second clause for clearer grammar.
For example: "The pm CLI compatibility floor is declared where npm enforces it and is absent from the field the CLI actually reads" (you could also add a comma before "and").

The pm item title is what pm-changelog emits as the changelog line. Phrased in the present tense it read as though the shipped release still declares its floor in the wrong field, which is the opposite of what this change does. The rest of the fleet's issue titles are past tense for exactly this reason. Reported by CodeRabbit on the pm-ops PR and applied to all eleven packages carrying this change.
…, record the closure Three findings from CodeRabbit, Sourcery and Greptile, applied together because they are all the same class of imprecision. The version comparison assumed both operands split into exactly three numeric parts. A malformed value made every comparison against NaN false, so the assertion fired with "the pinned development CLI is below the declared floor" — naming the wrong defect entirely. The manifest floor is now matched against the same exact-version pattern the pin already was, before any comparison runs, and the hand-rolled three-clause chain is replaced by a first-differing-component compare. Setting the floor to a two-part version now fails with a message that says so, and a pin genuinely below the floor still fails for the right reason. The missing-field diagnostic claimed no floor was enforced at all. That was too broad: npm still enforces peerDependencies, just only for a locally resolved dependency. The message now says which enforcement survives and which does not, because the gap this closes is specifically the globally installed host CLI that npm never sees. The item title named each field only by who enforces it, never by name, which was ambiguous enough to be read backwards in review. It now names peerDependencies and manifest.json pm_min_version explicitly, and carries resolution, expected_result and actual_result so the closed record states the implemented outcome rather than only why it was closed.
The close reason claimed all three assertions in compatibility-floor.test.ts were proved to fail on revert. Only two were. The first assertion — that the peer dependency must be a >= floor rather than an exact pin — was written and passing, but no mutation had ever been run against it, so nothing established that it could fail at all. A test that has never been observed failing is not yet evidence, which is the defect class this whole change exists to close. Rewriting the peer range to an exact pin now exits 1 in all eleven packages, and the item records the complete mutation table: peer range to exact pin, manifest floor removed, manifest floor set to a different version, dev pin loosened to a caret range, and manifest floor set to a two-part version for the parse guard added during review. Baseline and restored both exit 0. The resolution field is corrected to describe what was actually proved, and an appended note records that this item's title changed twice and its close reason once after closure, with the reason for each — appended rather than rewritten, so the history of what was claimed stays readable. Found by CodeRabbit, which noticed the recorded mutations did not cover the claim the close reason made.

The pin and the floor are the same version in every package here, so the comparison short-circuits on equality and its ordering branch was never executed by any assertion. A suite that passes without ever running a branch has not verified it, and V8 does not report a branch it never reaches as uncovered, so nothing signalled the gap. The comparison is now a named function with a test that drives it over pairs the repository does not contain: a later day against an earlier floor, an earlier day against a later floor, and month and year boundaries in both directions. It pins the trap directly — 2026.8.7 must NOT satisfy a floor of 2026.8.15, which is exactly what a lexicographic comparison gets wrong while looking right. Proved: replacing the numeric comparison with a string comparison fails the test, and so does making it unconditionally true. Three packages also had their item retitled. The earlier title said the manifest declared no floor at all. That was true of eight packages in this wave, but pm-github, pm-presets and pm-slack-standup each declared one that was below their own peer floor — a different defect, in which the CLI enforced a weaker minimum than npm rather than none. Their titles and descriptions now say so, with the correction appended to each item's history rather than replacing what was recorded before. Both found by CodeRabbit.
The earlier note claimed the title changed twice after closure and that the close reason was corrected. Reading each item's history stream rather than recalling what was run: three packages had one of those updates land BEFORE the close, not after, and the field corrected in the last update was resolution, not close_reason, which still holds the text recorded at closure. Each item now carries a per-item correction stating its own close timestamp and its own pre- and post-close update counts, appended rather than replacing what was written before. Also recorded, per package, the lower-bound mutation that the repository's own values cannot produce: pinning the development CLI one day below the declared floor exits 1. The pin and the floor are the same version in every package here, so that ordering case is unreachable from the repository state and is driven by synthetic operands instead. Both found by CodeRabbit.

@coderabbitai review Please review the latest head. Two commits landed since the last review here, both driven by findings on sibling PRs in this same wave — every package carrying this change gets the same fixes, so a finding raised on one repo is applied to all eleven:
What I would most like challenged: any assertion in |
Rate Limit Exceeded

Two successive correction notes on this item were wrong about which fields changed and when, and both were wrong for the same reason: they described a history stream from recollection of the commands issued rather than reading the stream back. The second note fixed the chronology and got the field wrong; CodeRabbit then found that on some packages resolution had also changed before the final update and that there were three post-close title changes, not two. The note is now generated from the patch entries in the item's own history: its close timestamp, and for each update event before and after that close, the exact field names touched, with updated_at excluded because every event carries it. Nothing is rewritten; this is a third appended correction that leaves both inaccurate ones readable, which is the point of an append-only stream.
String(manifest.pm_min_version) turned every wrong shape into a plausible string before the pattern check saw it: an absent field became "undefined" and a number became its decimal form, so the failure message described a version-format problem for what was really a type problem. The field is narrowed explicitly first, and the message now names the actual type. A manifest declaring pm_min_version as a number reports "must be a string to be comparable, got number" rather than complaining about the shape of "20260803". The declared type stays `unknown` rather than becoming `string | undefined`, and now says why: manifest.json is untrusted JSON, so declaring it a string would assert the very property this file exists to verify. Each test narrows at the point of use instead. From Sourcery. Its second suggestion — extract the inline numeric comparison into a helper — was already done in the preceding commit, which landed after the commit it reviewed.

Additional evidence for this change, from a mistake I made elsewhere in the fleet. While working on pm-rl I hit the failure mode this PR's exact pin prevents, and it is worth recording here because it is a concrete argument for the change rather than a theoretical one. pm-rl pins
Mirror images. There was no drift at all; I diagnosed with the wrong binary, repaired a phantom, and took CI red on a tree that had been green. That PR is closed and the defect is filed upstream as unbraind/pm-cli#1040. This PR is what stops that happening here. A caret range lets a working copy and CI resolve different CLIs, and the drift verdict is version-dependent, so the two can disagree about whether the tracker is corrupt. An exact pin makes them the same binary. Verified on this branch under its own pinned CLI — the one All twelve branches carrying this change report the same. That check is the one I should have run on pm-rl, and it is the one this pin makes trustworthy. |

This package declared its pm CLI compatibility floor only in
peerDependencies(>=2026.8.7). npm enforces that at install time — but npm never sees a globally installed host CLI, and the pm CLI does not readpeerDependenciesat all. The CLI enforces exactly one declaration: a top-levelpm_min_versioninmanifest.json. This package declared one, but at a version below its own peer floor, so the CLI enforced a weaker minimum than npm.The enforcement claim was verified, not assumed

pm-6n63— The pm CLI compatibility floor is declared where npm enforces it and absent from the field the CLI actually reads (closed)Fleet context
The same defect was found in eight fleet packages and is fixed identically in each: pm-graph, pm-ops, pm-slack, pm-starter, pm-ts-starter, pm-github, pm-presets, pm-slack-standup. Upstream unbraind/pm-cli#1032 tracks the underlying ergonomics problem: a manifest can declare a version bound in a field nothing reads, and no tool warns.
