An install directory can predate a mise.lock checksum change: mise lock re-resolves the same version to a different asset (a musl build replaced by a glibc-dependent one, for example) without anything removing the existing install. is_install_satisfied only checks that the install path exists, so --locked installs silently keep serving that stale artifact instead of refreshing it.

This records the checksum an install was verified against (reusing the .mise.checksum marker already used for rolling-release tracking) and, in --locked mode only, treats a mismatch against the current lockfile entry as "not installed" so the tool gets reinstalled. A missing marker — a pre-fix install, or a backend whose is_install_satisfied override never wrote one — counts as drifted too, rather than being trusted by default, matching how rolling-version checksum tracking already treats an absent stored checksum. Ordinary (non-locked) installs are unaffected.

The github/gitlab/forgejo backend has its own is_install_satisfied override and now consults the same shared check, including for its additional-asset installs: each additional asset's recorded checksum is compared against the current lockfile entry under --locked, so a pattern-preserving asset swap isn't mistaken for an unchanged install.

e2e/backend/test_http_lock_stale_install reproduces the primary scenario in three phases: install one asset, re-lock the same version against a different one and confirm a plain mise install --locked (no --force) refreshes it, then delete the checksum marker and confirm a missing marker is also treated as drift. Unit tests cover the additional-asset checksum comparison directly.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Locked installations now detect when an installed tool or additional asset is missing its checksum record or no longer matches the lockfile.
    • When checksum drift is detected, the affected artifact is reinstalled instead of being incorrectly treated as up to date.
    • Locked installs now correctly handle asset replacements that retain the same patterns but use different content.
    • Installed checksums are now recorded to support reliable verification during future locked installs.

Walkthrough

Locked installs now persist checksums for primary and additional artifacts. Locked checks reject missing or changed checksums. Unit and end-to-end tests cover artifact replacement, checksum drift, checksumless assets, and missing markers.

Locked installs can silently retain previously installed additional assets despite an incomplete lock entry, defeating the expected locked-install validation. Fix this before merging.

Summary

This PR makes locked installations compare their recorded artifact checksums with the current platform lock entry and reinstall when the marker is missing or mismatched.

  • Persists the primary artifact checksum after a successful install.
  • Extends GitHub, GitLab, and Forgejo additional-asset state with lockfile checksum comparisons.
  • Fixes checksumless additional assets by recording the lockfile’s pre-enrichment checksum state.
  • Adds focused unit coverage and an HTTP end-to-end stale-install scenario.

Comment thread src/backend/github.rs
An install directory can predate a mise.lock checksum change: `mise lock`
re-resolves the same declared version to a different asset (a musl build
replaced by a glibc-dependent one, for example) without anything removing
the old install. Path existence alone then satisfies `--locked` installs,
so the stale artifact keeps being served silently instead of refreshed.

Record the checksum an install was verified against, and in locked mode
treat a mismatch against the current lockfile entry as not installed. A
missing marker (a pre-fix install, or a backend whose is_install_satisfied
override never wrote one) counts as drifted too, rather than being
trusted by default -- matching how rolling-version checksum tracking
already treats an absent stored checksum.

The github/gitlab/forgejo backend has its own is_install_satisfied
override and now consults the same shared check, including for its
additional-asset installs: each additional asset's recorded checksum is
compared against the current lockfile entry under --locked, so a
pattern-preserving asset swap isn't mistaken for an unchanged install.
The comparison snapshots checksums from the lockfile before installing,
not after -- installing can locally compute a checksum for an asset the
lockfile never published one for, and that value never gets persisted
back to mise.lock, so comparing against it later would drift forever.

Reject incomplete additional-artifact locks.

On the locked path, is_install_satisfied passes locked == true to additional_assets_install_state_matches. With non-empty patterns and no platform additional_artifacts, this arm returns true. A prior non-locked install can leave matching state, so is_install_satisfied skips install_version_, which explicitly rejects the same incomplete lock at lines 912-920. Return false unless patterns is empty.

Proposed fix

+            _ => patterns.is_empty(),
