fix(github): skip v prefix for "latest" version by jdx · Pull Request #8105 · jdx/mise

jdx · 2026-02-11T12:11:00Z

Summary

Skip prepending v to "latest" in try_with_v_prefix_and_repo since "vlatest" is never a valid tag
Avoids a wasted API request and confusing debug output (GET .../releases/tags/vlatest)
Prevents 403 rate limit on the vlatest attempt from short-circuiting the retry loop before latest is ever tried

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Note

Low Risk
Small conditional change to version-candidate generation for GitHub tag resolution; limited blast radius and no data/security impact.

Overview
Updates try_with_v_prefix_and_repo to treat the special version string "latest" as a single candidate (no automatic v-prefix fallback), avoiding attempted lookups like releases/tags/vlatest.

This reduces wasted GitHub API requests and prevents a non-404 failure (e.g., rate limiting) on the invalid vlatest attempt from aborting resolution before latest is tried.

^{Written by Cursor Bugbot for commit 6bd1406. This will update automatically on new commits. Configure here.}

When resolving versions, the github backend tries both "v{version}" and "{version}" tag formats. For "latest", this means trying "vlatest" first, which always 404s and wastes an API request. Worse, if the user is rate limited, the 403 response short-circuits the retry loop before "latest" is ever attempted. Skip the v prefix entirely when the version is "latest" since it's a special keyword, not a real version tag. Fixes #8103 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary of Changes

Hello @jdx, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refines the version resolution logic, specifically for the 'latest' keyword, to prevent erroneous GitHub API calls. By explicitly handling 'latest' without a 'v' prefix, it optimizes API usage, avoids unnecessary network requests for invalid tags, and mitigates potential rate limiting issues that could arise from these failed attempts.

Highlights

Optimized 'latest' version handling: Introduced a specific check for the 'latest' version string to prevent prepending 'v', avoiding invalid tag lookups like 'vlatest'.
Reduced GitHub API calls: Eliminated unnecessary API requests for non-existent 'vlatest' tags, improving efficiency and reducing potential rate limit issues.
Improved error handling: Prevented potential 403 rate limit errors from the 'vlatest' attempt from prematurely terminating the retry logic before the correct 'latest' tag could be tried.

Changelog

src/backend/static_helpers.rs
- Modified the try_with_v_prefix_and_repo function to specifically handle the 'latest' version string.
- Ensured that 'latest' is not prefixed with 'v' when constructing potential tag names for GitHub API calls.

Code Review

This pull request addresses an issue where the string "latest" was being incorrectly prefixed with "v", leading to invalid tag lookups like "vlatest". The change introduces a specific check for the "latest" version string within try_with_v_prefix_and_repo to prevent this prefixing. This is a good, targeted fix that avoids unnecessary API requests and potential rate-limiting problems. The implementation is correct and well-placed within the existing logic. No issues found.
