Problem

Vite+ provider installs in Windows %LOCALAPPDATA%\vite-plus\bin and Linux ~/.local/share/vite-plus/bin were treated as manual installs, so they did not offer the existing Vite+ update command.

Change

Recognize these split-layout shim directories alongside the existing .vite-plus/bin layout. Keep path-segment boundaries so an ordinary project directory named vite-plus/bin remains manual-only. Resolver precedence for native updates, WinGet, Homebrew and other package managers is unchanged.

Thanks @tonank for the original #19887 contribution. Contributor history is preserved, current main is merged, and the tests use the current shared resolver fixtures.

Scope and approval

Maintainer takeover of a focused install-ownership bug. Only the shared provider maintenance resolver and its existing tests change. No UI, provider execution or update-command behavior changes beyond selecting the already-supported Vite+ updater. No merge is requested.

Verification

At de1e391, with current main f740a97 merged:

• 58 focused maintenanceResolver.test.ts tests pass. The added coverage uses the real resolver service with mocked filesystem/process/platform dependencies: three supported layouts yield vp i -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code with the vite-plus-global lock key; a project-path near miss remains manual-only.
• Reverting the matcher at this head fails exactly the Windows and XDG cases. A separate broad-matcher probe fails the near-miss case.
• Scoped lint, formatting and provider-core typecheck pass. Fresh independent Opus and Sol full-diff reviews found no correctness defects.

This is service-output proof, not a live Windows discovery or package-update run. No browser/native-shell verification is claimed. Arbitrary custom VP_HOME/VP_BIN_DIR paths and relocated Windows application-data paths without the recognized segments remain outside this fix.

Prepared through T3 Code: Claude Opus 5.5 tests and full review, Claude Fable 5.1 implementation, GPT-6.1 Sol independent review.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved at 51710d2

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — The PR makes a narrow correction to existing Vite+ install detection, enabling the already-supported update prompt for Windows and XDG layouts. The change is isolated and covered by tests for all affected path formats, with no product-default or static-analysis override changes.

📝 Walkthrough

The maintenance resolver now recognizes Vite+ global command paths in default, XDG, and Windows local-app-data layouts. Tests check the update command and lock key across three platforms, and verify that a project-local path does not receive an update action.

Changes: Vite+ global command paths

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Recognize and validate Vite+ global paths packages/provider-core/src/server/maintenanceResolver.ts, packages/provider-core/src/server/maintenanceResolver.test.ts	The resolver matches Vite+ bin paths in default, XDG, and Windows local-app-data layouts. Tests check the global update command and vite-plus-global lock key across three platforms, and verify that a project-local checkout named vite-plus does not receive an update action.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: juliusmarminge

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to de1e3

The intended Vite+ layouts are covered. An unusually nested local executable path could still receive a global-update prompt; this is a bounded risk that can be accepted for merge.

Review details

Systems and components

• observed — packages/provider-core (library) was modified; 2 changed files map to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

• observed — Modified behavior in packages/provider-core/src/server/maintenanceResolver.test.ts: Adds tests for three Vite+ global-install path shapes—macOS default home, Linux XDG home, and Windows local app data—expecting the Vite+ global update command and lock key. Adds a project-directory case expecting no update action.
• observed — Modified behavior in packages/provider-core/src/server/maintenanceResolver.ts: isVitePlusGlobalCommandPath now matches Vite+ bin paths under .vite-plus, .local/share/vite-plus, or appdata/local/vite-plus, after path normalization; previously it matched only /.vite-plus/bin/.

Pre-merge checks: 4

Check name	Status	Explanation
Title check		The title clearly identifies the server fix and the Windows Vite+ update-prompt behavior. It does not mention the Linux XDG layout, but the title accurately summarizes the primary reported issue.
Description check		The description includes complete Problem, Change, Scope and approval, and Verification sections. It documents the supported layouts, expected behavior, tests, limitations, and validation results.
Linked Issues check		Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.

- Line 222: Update the Vite+ detection in `normalizeCommandPath`’s caller so
`/\.?vite-plus\/bin\//` selects a global update only when the path is verified
as a Vite+ shim location, not merely because a project path contains that
segment. Preserve the `node_modules` fallback for project-local installs, and
add a near-miss test using a project-local path such as
`/work/vite-plus/bin/claude`.

nested paths such as a project-local .local/share/vite-plus/bin executable do

Taking over this one. I’ll reduce the tests to the useful coverage, update the implementation against current main, and verify it before publishing the changes.
