There was a problem hiding this comment.
When a missing cache suffix is beneath a regular-file ancestor (for example, <file>/nested/cache), lstat throws ENOTDIR, not ENOENT. This branch therefore reports cache_entry_inaccessible; on Windows, runNpmCachePreflight converts that reason to windows_skip, allowing the updater to stop the proxy and attempt the doomed staging install instead of aborting beforehand. The added assertion in tests/update/update-npm-cache-preflight.test.ts:277 currently fails for exactly this case, so handle ENOTDIR here as cache_root_not_directory.
Useful? React with 👍 / 👎.

This Windows fallback still returns { ok: true, reason: "windows_skip" }, but this commit removes "windows_skip" from NpmCachePreflightReason in npm-cache-preflight.d.mts. TypeScript consumers consequently receive a return type that excludes a real runtime result, causing valid checks for this outcome to be rejected and making exhaustive handling unsound; add the reason back to the declared union.

Restore "windows_skip" to NpmCachePreflightReason.
src/update/npm-cache-preflight.mjs, Line 265, still returns { ok: true, reason: "windows_skip" } for inconclusive Windows results. The declaration now excludes that reachable result.
A typed caller that checks result.reason === "windows_skip" receives a non-overlapping comparison error, although the branch remains valid at runtime. TypeScript documents this behavior for literal unions. (typescriptlang.org)
Restore the literal to the union.

Match cache diagnostics to the updater’s global query.
The updater resolves npm config get cache --global. The failure messages and troubleshooting page recommend an unqualified query. Inside a project with cache= in .npmrc, that query can report a different folder because global mode ignores project configuration. Operators can therefore repair or report the wrong cache.

Distinguish inspection skips from resolution failures.
When cache resolution succeeds but the worker times out, runNpmCachePreflight returns windows_skip. However, bin/ocx.mjs, Line 289, still assigns the resolved path to npmCachePath. Line 750 passes that path to staging, which adds --cache.
The update therefore remains pinned after an inconclusive inspection. It proceeds unpinned only when cache resolution fails, including unsafe Windows paths.
Replace “the update proceeds unpinned” with this distinction.
As per coding guidelines, a structure document states “the contract that holds right now, in the present tense.”

… platform The npm cache pre-flight returned windows_skip on Windows, so an unusable cache root (a %LOCALAPPDATA%\npm-cache junction whose target was removed) was only discovered by the staging install, after the proxy had stopped, as a bare ENOTDIR on mkdir. Staging also ran npm with --prefix <stage>, which moves npm's globalconfig into the stage, so a cache= from the operator's global npmrc was dropped and staging used npm's default root. - add inspectNpmCacheRoot: the root, or the nearest existing ancestor npm would mkdir under, must resolve to a directory; classify a file in the way as cache_root_not_directory and a dangling link or junction as cache_root_dangling_link, with fixed path-free guidance - run the worker on Windows in root-only mode instead of skipping; POSIX keeps the ownership/mode walk after the root check - the npm launcher resolves npm config get cache once, pre-flights that path, and pins it into the transactional stage with --cache Closes #6288

Summary
Closes #6288.
On Windows,
ocx updatecould stop the proxy and then fail in the transactional staging install withENOTDIRonmkdir. The reported cause is a%LOCALAPPDATA%\npm-cachejunction whose target on another drive was gone. Two gaps let that through:windows_skipon Windows before inspecting anything. Its ownership and mode walk is Unix-only, but the simple "can npm use the cache root" check was skipped along with it.npm install -g --prefix <stage>, and npm takes its global config from<prefix>/etc/npmrc. Acache=setting in the user's global npmrc was therefore dropped during staging, and npm fell back to its default cache root, which no check had looked at.The fix:
inspectNpmCacheRootchecks that the cache root, or the nearest existing folder npm would create it under, resolves to a directory. A file in its place fails ascache_root_not_directory. A link or junction whose target is missing fails ascache_root_dangling_link. Both print fixed guidance that contains no path and no npm output. POSIX runs this check before its existing ownership walk. Windows runs only the root check, in a--root-onlyworker mode.npm config get cache, a worker timeout, or any other inconclusive result still returnswindows_skipand the update proceeds unpinned as it did before. POSIX keeps failing closed on those results.bin/ocx.mjsresolvesnpm config get cacheonce, before stopping anything, using the environment staging uses.
