With version unset, a cached mise binary no longer triggers an "integrity verification" warning and a re-download on every run after a new mise release.

Before:

mise cache restored from key: mise-v1-linux-x64-ubuntu26-66bc922b…
##[warning]Existing mise failed integrity verification; reinstalling mise@2026.10.0

The cache key has no mise version when version is unset, and the cache is only saved on a miss, so the old binary was restored, discarded and re-downloaded on every run until a config file changed.

Now the cached binary is kept until the cache is busted. It is verified against the signed checksums of the version recorded when it was installed (it is never executed first) rather than the latest release's. Caches from before this change have no record and are verified against the latest release as before, so a tampered binary is still rejected and replaced with the latest. An explicit version: behaves as before, and the warning now includes the underlying error.

Set the new auto_update: true input to restore the old behaviour of reinstalling when a newer release exists The updated binary is cached on its own, keyed by mise version, so it is downloaded once per release rather than every run.

Fixes #641

Note

Medium Risk
Changes mise binary download, cache, and integrity verification paths in the action; mistakes could affect supply-chain checks or leave workflows on stale binaries until cache bust.

Overview
When version is unset, the action no longer treats every new mise release as a reason to discard a restored binary. Cached mise is kept until the main cache key changes, verified against signed checksums for the version recorded at install time (mise-version), not the latest release—so reuse should not trigger extra CDN fetches. Legacy caches without that record still verify against the latest release; integrity failures now include the underlying error before reinstall.

Adds optional auto_update: true to opt back into checking for a newer release when version is pinned open. In that mode the action resolves the latest (respecting minimum_release_age), restores/saves a separate version-keyed binary cache, and downloads each release once instead of every run. minimum_release_age is validated even when an existing binary skips release resolution.

README documents cached vs auto-update vs pinned version behavior and tightens CDN/index wording. CI asserts one CDN request when reusing a cached binary by default, and exercises auto_update: true in the age-filter flow.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added an optional automatic update setting. When enabled without a pinned version, mise is updated when a newer eligible release is available; otherwise, the cached version remains in use until the cache key changes.
• Documentation
  • Clarified how cached versions, automatic updates, and pinned versions affect upgrades.
  • Clarified that release selection uses the public CDN index and does not consume GitHub API quota.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The action adds an optional auto_update input. When version is unset and automatic updates are enabled, it resolves a release and uses a version-specific mise binary cache. It verifies existing binaries against an explicit or recorded version and records installed versions.

Changes

Version-aware mise cache updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Auto-update input and release selection action.yml, src/index.ts, README.md, .github/workflows/test.yml	The action reads auto_update, which defaults to false, and passes it to setupMise. When version is unset and auto-updates are enabled, setupMise resolves a release and can restore a cache keyed by target, runner image, and version. The README describes cached-binary behavior and release selection through the public CDN index. The workflow enables auto_update for the release-replacement step.
Cached binary verification and installation src/index.ts, .github/workflows/test.yml	Existing binaries are verified against an explicit or recorded version. After installation, the action records the installed version and can save the binary, shim, and version record when caching is enabled. The workflow expects cached-binary reuse to leave the release CDN request count at one.

• observed — action.yml (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in README.md: Adds documentation that, when version is unset, a cached mise binary is checksum-verified and retained until the cache key changes. auto_update: true reinstalls when a newer release is available and caches the binary by version; pinning version remains the deliberate upgrade method.
• observed — Modified behavior in README.md: Clarifies that release selection reads the public CDN index without consuming GitHub API quota. Removes the explicit statement that this also applies when reusing a cached mise binary.
• observed — Modified behavior in action.yml: Adds the optional auto_update input, defaulting to "false", for controlling whether cached mise is reinstalled when version is unset and a newer release is available.
• observed — Modified behavior in src/index.ts: run now reads the auto_update input and passes it to setupMise.

Explanation

Issue [#641] requires cached mise reuse to stop repeating integrity failures and downloads, and requires the warning to include its underlying error. The summary reports that src/index.ts verifies against the recorded install version and retains cached binaries. However, dist/index.js is excluded from review, so the available evidence does not establish whether the action runtime includes these changes.
