Summary

Recursive ** patterns can traverse source, example, documentation, and other non-project directories.
Literal project paths and one-level parent/* patterns do not need recursive traversal.

pnpm currently appends each supported manifest name to every workspace pattern. It then sends every result to the generic wax glob walker.

This PR adds fast paths for two patterns that are relative to the workspace root:

  • literal project paths, such as packages/app
  • one-level stars with a literal parent, such as packages/*

The literal fast path probes each supported manifest directly. The one-level star fast path reads the parent once and probes each child.

Both fast paths preserve these behaviors:

  • manifest precedence
  • built-in ignores and user negations
  • missing-directory behavior
  • symlink behavior
  • file-system error propagation
  • deterministic results

The generic wax walker still handles all other patterns. These patterns include absolute, parent-relative, recursive, and non-terminal patterns.

The PR does not add a fast path for **. A recursive pattern must traverse its declared tree to preserve its meaning.

Benchmark

The benchmark uses this reproduction.
The workspace contains 6,832 projects using 784 precise patterns.

The benchmark ran one warm-up for each binary. It then ran ten fresh processes for each binary in alternating order.

pnpm install --lockfile-only --frozen-lockfile --offline --reporter=ndjson
Patterns main scope This PR scope Scope change main wall This PR wall Wall change
784 3,000.50 ms 843.50 ms -71.89% 3,559.56 ms 1,395.80 ms -60.79%

Each value is the median of the ten measured runs.

Dot-directory behavior

Review of the fast paths surfaced a behavior change, and chasing it down turned up a pnpm 11 regression that this PR now also fixes.

wax gives wildcards no dot handling at all, so pnpm 12 discovered projects that pnpm 11 never saw: packages/* matched packages/.cache, and the default ** descended into .git.

Workspace patterns follow Bash dotglob-off semantics per segment, not as a blanket exclusion:

Pattern Matches a dot-prefixed directory?
packages/*, nested/** no
packages/.cache yes
packages/.* yes

Measured against tinyglobby and fast-glob directly, and end to end against npm 12.0.2, Yarn 1.22.22, Yarn Berry, Bun 1.3.14, and pnpm 11 -- all agree.

The terminal-star fast path skips dot-prefixed entries directly. The generic walk adds a dot-component pattern to its wax ignores, which also stops it descending into .git. A pattern that names a dot component keeps the unpruned ignores and so matches dot components at every position: a superset of the glob's meaning, reachable only by asking for a dot component in the first place.

Each new test was verified to fail when its own guard is removed, and every other discovery test passes identically with the fast paths stubbed out -- so the speedups remain behavior-preserving on their own.

Squash Commit Body

pnpm sent every workspace pattern to the generic wax glob walker after it appended each supported manifest name.
Literal project paths and one-level parent-star patterns therefore used unnecessary glob setup and traversal.

Probe manifests directly for safe literal patterns. Read each declared parent once for safe one-level star patterns.
Preserve ignores, negations, manifest precedence, symlinks, errors, and deterministic results.
Keep absolute, parent-relative, recursive, and complex patterns on the generic wax path.

Wax gives wildcards no dot handling, so pnpm 12 discovered projects under dot-prefixed
directories that pnpm 11 never saw. Apply dotglob semantics per segment: a wildcard no
longer matches a dot-prefixed component, while a literal dot segment and an explicitly
dotted wildcard still do. Pruning dot components also stops the generic walk descending
into .git.

The benchmark workspace contains 6,833 projects and 784 precise workspace patterns.
Across ten alternating runs, median scope time decreased from 3,000.50 ms to 843.50 ms.

Checklist

  • I searched existing workspace-discovery PRs and issues. I found no duplicate.
  • This PR changes only the Rust reader. The TypeScript reader does not use this wax traversal.
  • I added a pacquet patch changeset.
  • I added tests for the fast paths, fallbacks, negations, ignores, manifests, symlinks, missing directories, and errors.
  • The fast paths are behavior-preserving. Separately, this PR fixes a pnpm 11 regression: wildcards no longer match dot-prefixed directories. The changeset records it; no documentation change is needed.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Workspace discovery adds direct enumeration for safe literal directories and terminal-star patterns. Other patterns continue to use generic glob walking. Dot-prefixed components are pruned unless explicitly named at their matching position.

Changes

Workspace discovery optimization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pattern classification and dispatch
pnpm/crates/workspace/src/projects.rs
Safe relative literal and terminal-star patterns use specialized discovery. Other patterns use generic glob walking with positional dot-component handling.
Direct manifest enumeration and filtering
pnpm/crates/workspace/src/projects.rs
Direct discovery enumerates directories, collects supported manifests, skips hidden directories, applies ignore and negation rules, and handles missing paths and filesystem errors.
Discovery behavior validation and release metadata
pnpm/crates/workspace/src/projects/tests.rs, .changeset/quick-mice-discover.md
Tests cover classification, fallback behavior, dot-directory matching, ignores, symlinks, manifest formats, missing paths, negations, and wildcard semantics. The changeset records a patch release.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to e8976

The change speeds up workspace discovery and corrects wildcard handling for dot-prefixed directories while preserving documented matching behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Regular scenarios report direct and pnpr installs. The peer-heavy resolver scenario compares current Rust, main Rust, and TypeScript pnpm. Bencher consumes pacquet@HEAD and pnpr@HEAD.

The tables below show mean ± σ; Bencher thresholds on the minimum latency, which is far less perturbed by shared-runner contention (noise only adds time).

Avoid generic glob walks for safe workspace-root-relative literals and terminal-star patterns.

Preserve built-in ignores, user negations, and generic fallback semantics.
Use Wax's own metacharacter predicate for fast-path eligibility.

Keep behavior-focused tests while removing coverage-only duplication.
Two comments narrated what the code already said: the borrow-versus-clone
note on the ignore template and the manifest-suffix note on
normalize_manifest_patterns.

is_ignored_manifest derived the workspace-relative path twice, once with
strip_prefix for the built-in ignores and again with pathdiff for the user
negations. Specialized patterns are safe relative literals joined onto the
workspace root, so every candidate is a descendant of it and the second
derivation only re-created what the first already had.

Wax gives wildcards no dot handling at all, so pnpm 12 discovered projects
under dot-prefixed directories that pnpm 11 never saw: `packages/*` matched
`packages/.cache`, and the default `**` descended into `.git`.

Workspace patterns follow Bash dotglob-off semantics per segment, not a blanket
exclusion. A wildcard must not match a dot-prefixed component, while a literal
dot segment and an explicitly dotted wildcard must. Measured against tinyglobby
and fast-glob directly, and end to end against npm 12.0.2, Yarn 1.22.22, Yarn
Berry, Bun 1.3.14, and pnpm 11 -- all agree.

The terminal-star fast path skips dot-prefixed entries directly. The generic
walk adds a dot-component pattern to its wax ignores, which also stops it
descending into `.git`. A pattern that names a dot component keeps the unpruned
ignores and so matches dot components at every position: a superset of the
glob's meaning, reachable only by asking for a dot component in the first
place.

Rebased onto main (the branch was behind; no content conflicts) and pushed two commits.

8c90176 addresses the Greptile review comment: dropped the two comments that restated the code, plus a redundant pathdiff::diff_paths in is_ignored_manifest that re-derived the workspace-relative path strip_prefix had already produced.

4e0ce36 fixes a behavior change the fast paths introduced. The terminal-star path skipped dot-prefixed directories while the generic wax walk still matched them, so packages/* and packages/*/* disagreed about packages/.cache in the same workspace.

Chasing that down turned up the real bug underneath: wax gives wildcards no dot handling, so pnpm 12 discovered projects that pnpm 11 never saw -- packages/* matched packages/.cache, and the default ** descended into .git. Every other package manager (npm, Yarn, Yarn Berry, Bun) and pnpm 11 agree on dotglob-off semantics per segment: a wildcard does not match a dot-prefixed component, but a literal dot segment and an explicitly dotted wildcard do. So the fast path's instinct was right and the generic walk was wrong; both now implement the full rule. Details and the measurements are in the PR description.

The changeset now records the behavior fix, and I retitled the PR so the squash commit does not read as perf-only.

The speedups themselves remain behavior-preserving: with the fast paths stubbed out, every discovery test passes identically, and each new dot-semantics test was verified to fail when its own guard is removed.

Comment thread pnpm/crates/workspace/src/projects.rs Outdated
A pattern that spelled out a dot-prefixed component disabled dot pruning for
the whole walk, so every later wildcard could match one too: given
`packages/.cache/*/lib`, the `*` matched `.hidden` and pulled
`packages/.cache/.hidden/lib` into the workspace. tinyglobby returns only
`packages/.cache/plain/lib` for that pattern.

Classify each pattern instead of testing it for a single dot component. One
that names none keeps the walk-level pruning. One that names some carries them
as an allow-list and drops any other dot-prefixed component from the results,
so a named component stays reachable while the wildcards around it do not. A
dotted wildcard such as `.*` names components it cannot enumerate and so still
lifts the restriction.

Comment thread pnpm/crates/workspace/src/projects.rs Outdated
The exemption was an allow-list of component names, so a wildcard still
reached a dot component whenever the pattern named one spelled the same way:
`packages/.cache/*/lib` matched `packages/.cache/.cache/lib`, which tinyglobby
excludes.

Derive one ignore glob per wildcard position instead of filtering matches by
name. A wildcard segment contributes an ignore that forbids a dot-prefixed
component at exactly its own position, so a named component stays reachable
where it is named and nowhere else. A `**` segment contributes an ignore
spanning the components it can consume. A wildcard that itself starts with a
dot is asking for dot components and contributes none.

Patterns that name no dot component keep the hoisted ignore template. Building
a `wax::any` costs about 50us against 341ns to clone one, so per-pattern
construction is confined to the patterns that need it.

Extract the entry loop so each branch can build its own walk, since `wax::Any`
is invariant in its lifetime and the two ignore sets cannot share a binding.

`non_notfound_walk_failure_still_errors` uses `packages/*`, which the terminal
star fast path added in #14262 now claims. It therefore exercises the
specialized enumeration's error mapping and no longer reaches the generic walk
at all, leaving that error return untested.

Add a counterpart on a non-terminal star, which stays on the generic path.
Swallowing the walk error there fails only the new test.

positional_dot_ignores only recognizes a dot component when the raw segment starts with ., so an

The changeset promises that patterns which name dot-prefixed directories still match them. The code
recognizes only raw segments beginning with ., while the tests establish that brace patterns are
valid generic wax patterns; therefore {alpha,.cache} is classified as containing no named dot
component and receives the global pruning ignore at lines 219-222.

## Issue description
Explicit dot-prefixed alternatives inside glob constructs are misclassified as wildcard-only segments, causing the generic walker to prune directories that the pattern explicitly names.

## Issue Context
For example, `packages/{alpha,.cache}` is intentionally routed to generic wax semantics, but `names_a_dot_component` returns false for the raw `{alpha,.cache}` segment and the global dot-directory ignore removes `.cache` before it can match. Preserve dotglob-off semantics after alternatives are interpreted, and add a regression test proving both alternatives are discovered.

…den segments

`*`, `?` and `**` selected a path segment beginning with `.`, while the
micromatch call upstream makes for `useGlobDirFiltering` runs with its
default `dot: false`. A workspace project under a dot directory was
therefore selected by `{packages/*}` on pnpm v12 but not on pnpm v11.

Follow picomatch: a wildcard at the start of a segment does not match a
leading `.`, and `**` does not traverse into such a segment. A character
class is exempt, as it is upstream, so `[.]hidden` and `[a-z.]hidden`
still select `.hidden`. A dot later in a segment stays an ordinary
character.

This matches the rule PR pnpm#14262 established for workspace globs.
