Problem

A lockfile entry carries a version field and a per-platform url, and nothing
compares them. The install directory, the version mise prints, mise ls and
every later mise exec all read version; the bytes come from url. When the
two disagree, mise installs one release under another release's name and reports
success.

This is not hypothetical. jdx/fnox's mise.lock on main recorded:

[[tools.hk]]
version = "2.0.1"
backend = "aqua:jdx/hk"

[tools.hk."platforms.linux-x64"]
url = "https://github.com/jdx/hk/releases/download/v1.56.1/hk-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz"

CI reported hk@2.0.1 installed on every run while actually running hk 1.56.1.
That hid a genuine incompatibility — the repo's hk.pkl still uses the hk v1
config schema, which hk 2 rejects — for four days, until the lockfile was
regenerated for an unrelated reason. jdx/communique still carries the same
entry today.

Two things produce such an entry:

1. An external rewrite of the version line. Renovate's mise manager bumps
   the version in mise.lock as a one-line text edit and does not touch the
   platform blocks. The fnox commit above is literally mise.lock | 2 +-.
2. A release that drops a platform. If the recorded version has no artifact
   for a platform, mise lock reports that target as skipped and leaves the
   previous block in place, still pointing at the older release it resolved
   against. aube 2.2.17 publishes no x86_64-apple-darwin CLI archive, so
   fnox, pitchfork and usage all hold a macos-x64 entry from 2.0.1 or
   2.2.12 under version = "2.2.17".

Neither mise install nor mise install --locked notices, and neither repairs
the entry, so the wrong version persists across every later run.

Change

mise install now fails when the locked download URL for the platform being
installed provably names a different release than the entry's version:

$ mise install --locked
mise ✗ hk@latest  0ms · failed: hk@2.0.1 is locked to a download URL from 1.56.1:
Error:
   0: Failed to install hk@latest: hk@2.0.1 is locked to a download URL from 1.56.1:
        https://github.com/jdx/hk/releases/download/v1.56.1/hk-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.gz
      Installing it would put 1.56.1 on disk under the name 2.0.1. Either the
      `version` field was rewritten without refreshing the
      `[tools.hk."platforms.linux-x64"]` block, or a later release dropped
      linux-x64 and left the old block behind. Run `mise lock` to regenerate the
      entry; if it reports the entry as skipped and leaves it unchanged, 2.0.1
      has no linux-x64 artifact.

The check runs before anything is downloaded, only for tool versions that came
from a lockfile, and only for the platform actually being installed — a stale
macos-x64 block does not fail a Linux install, because that machine installs
the right bytes.

mise lock is unaffected, so the documented repair still works on a broken
lockfile.

Detection

The comparison only reports a contradiction it can prove, because rejecting a
valid locked install would be worse than missing an invalid one. It reads just
the two positions in a URL that identify a release:

• the release tag of a forge download URL — /releases/download/<tag>/,
  /releases/<tag>/downloads/, /-/archive/<tag>/
• the artifact file name

A dotted number anywhere else in the path is part of the route, not the release,
and is ignored: https://mirror.example/api/1.0/tool-linux.tar.gz installs fine
under version 2.0.0, as do a numbered CDN bucket, a date directory and a distro
pool path. Version components are compared numerically, so a zero-padded tag
(1.02.0) matches 1.2.0, while 1.2.3 still refuses a 1.2.30 artifact.

It also stays quiet when the entry version is not a dotted number (latest, a
ref, a bare date), when neither position carries one (many assets are named only
by platform), and when a tag decorates the version rather than replacing it —
cli-v2026.8.0, go1.23.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz, cpython-3.14.7+20260901-… under
a 20260901 tag, jdk-21.0.4%2B7 for temurin-21.0.4+7. The host is never read.

I ran the rule over the current mise.lock on the default branch of 13
repositories (mise, hk, usage, xx, demand, aube, communique, fnox,
mr-boxington, packslip, pitchfork, pklr, tak): 918 platform rows, 9 flagged,
and all 9 are the real mismatches described above — 6 for communique's hk
and 3 for aube on macos-x64. No false positives.

Not covered

An already-installed tool is not re-checked, because mise does not re-install it.
The check prevents the bad state from being created, and mise lock plus a
reinstall clears an existing one.

Validation

• New table-driven unit tests for the comparison: the real mismatches, the URL
  shapes that must be accepted, the route-number shapes that must not fire, the
  numeric component comparison, and the cases where there is nothing to compare.
• New e2e test lockfile/test_lockfile_version_url_mismatch: a shfmt entry
  claiming 3.10.0 with a 3.7.0 URL fails mise install and mise install --locked, nothing is written to the install directory, mise lock still
  repairs the entry, and the repaired entry installs v3.10.0.
• Reproduced the original bug on main before the change: with the fnox entry
  above, mise install --locked printed ✓ hk@2.0.1 and mise exec -- hk --version printed hk 1.56.1. After the change the install fails, and after
  mise lock it installs hk 2.0.1.
• cargo clippy --workspace --all-features --all-targets -- -D warnings clean,
  cargo fmt --all applied, unit tests and the e2e/lockfile suite pass.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change validates that lockfile-resolved tool versions agree with platform download URLs. Installation stops before download when the URL proves a different release. Unit and end-to-end tests cover detection, repair, and successful installation.

Changes

Lockfile URL Version Validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Release-number detection and comparison src/lockfile.rs	The lockfile code extracts dotted release numbers, compares truncated versions, ignores hosts and non-release numbers, and reports proven URL contradictions. Unit tests cover matching, conflicting, and inconclusive cases.
Pre-installation enforcement and end-to-end coverage src/lockfile.rs, src/toolset/toolset_install.rs, e2e/lockfile/test_lockfile_version_url_mismatch	install_single_tool validates the locked URL before downloading. End-to-end tests verify rejection, absence of an incorrect installation, lockfile repair, and successful installation with a matching URL.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge; no outstanding correctness or repository-rule violations remain.

Summary

Adds install-time validation that rejects lockfile platform URLs which provably identify a release different from the locked version.

• Extracts release identifiers conservatively from forge release tags and artifact filenames.
• Runs the validation before installation for versions resolved from the lockfile and only for the active platform.
• Adds focused unit coverage and an isolated end-to-end mismatch, repair, and successful-install workflow.
• Removes manual E2E cleanup because the harness already supplies isolated state.

Instruction counts

Nothing was compared, and so nothing was gated. No series appears on both sides: either the base has no measurements recorded, or the two were measured on different runner classes, which are deliberately not comparable — counts shift between machine types by more than a real regression does.

New, nothing to compare against: env on jdx-perf-v1-ubuntu24.04-x64-mise-rust1.97.1-img5263c143, hook-env on jdx-perf-v1-ubuntu24.04-x64-mise-rust1.97.1-img5263c143, ls on jdx-perf-v1-ubuntu24.04-x64-mise-rust1.97.1-img5263c143, registry on jdx-perf-v1-ubuntu24.04-x64-mise-rust1.97.1-img5263c143, startup on jdx-perf-v1-ubuntu24.04-x64-mise-rust1.97.1-img5263c143
