WalkthroughThe CLI now supports channel-aware conformance checks that reject dev-build dependencies in releases and validate family engine pins. Composer CLI package references replace the previous Composer runtime references. A new script and workflow synchronize product dependency versions from registry tags and automate update pull requests. Publish workflows pass channel information and update product versions for dev builds. Documentation now describes independent engine versioning, release automation, credentials, troubleshooting, and remaining blockers. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

`prisma@8.0.0-rc.3` shipped depending on `@prisma/composer@0.6.0-dev.16` and `@prisma/orm-toolchain@8.0.0-rc.1-dev.40`. Both were interim pins that nothing moved off, and no check refused them. The rule is now explicit and enforced: a release of the CLI depends only on released versions of composer and the ORM; a dev build of the CLI depends on their dev builds. The committed manifests hold the released versions and a workflow keeps them current, so main stays releasable and every version change is a reviewed pull request. A dev publish rewrites them to each product's `dev` tag in CI, ephemerally, exactly as it already rewrites the CLI's own version. Check 4 of the conformance suite measures the packed manifests against the run's channel and has no exception mechanism: a suppressed finding exits 0, which is how rc.3 shipped. The shell also moves from `@prisma/composer` to `@prisma/composer-cli`. The library dropped its `./family` export when composer split its CLI out, so the old pin only worked because it was a dev build from before the split. The new package peers the engine at the version this repo ships, which removes one of the two engine copies an install resolved.

In @.github/workflows/update-product-versions.yml:
- Around line 42-44: Restrict the workflow job’s GITHUB_TOKEN permissions to
contents: read by removing pull-requests: write and changing contents: write.
Leave the existing DEPLOY_GITHUB_TOKEN-based write operations unchanged.
In `@docs/oss/release-automation.md`:
- Line 80: Update the documented ORM blocker version in the release automation
documentation to match the verified newest build recorded by the deferred
project notes, 8.0.0-rc.1-dev.46, or explicitly label both values as historical
snapshots if they represent different points in time.
- Line 45: Update the token-expiry section to state that an expired token causes
GitHub CLI commands to fail and the workflow reports the missing or unusable
token as an error; note that the daily backstop cannot catch up until the token
is restored, and remove the claim that pins simply go stale without loud
failure.
In `@docs/oss/versioning.md`:
- Around line 27-30: Update the versioning documentation around the committed
manifest description to remove the unconditional claim that main is always
releasable. State that main remains pinned to released product versions and is
release-ready only after conformance checks pass, while preserving the existing
reproducibility and reviewed-version-change statements.
- Line 42: Update the dev-channel description near the `dev` policy entry to
distinguish the intended target from the currently deployed workflow: mark
product-repository notifications and the auto-merge/dev-build path as
prerequisites or describe only the triggers that are presently implemented, and
reconcile the unchanged-root-version behavior with
`scripts/determine-version.ts` and the corresponding release-automation
documentation.
In `@scripts/update-product-versions.mjs`:
- Around line 118-128: Update publishedVersion so it returns undefined only when
npm confirms the package or dist-tag is absent; rethrow errors from npm view for
registry, authentication, executable, or other failures, preserving the existing
exit-code contract.

…hed" Six review findings, all valid. The one that mattered: every `npm view` failure was converted into "this package is not published", so a registry outage, an auth failure or a missing npm would let a dev publish keep the committed release versions and ship a dev build pinned to them. Only a missing package now means "nothing to move to". Reading dist-tags per package instead of resolving one tag at a time makes a wrong tag name distinguishable from a missing package — and that immediately found a bug carried over from the old script: it read `next` for @prisma/orm-toolchain, which has never had that tag, so it would have silently never updated the ORM even once the token existed. All three products publish releases under `latest`, verified against the registry. The rest are documentation corrections, each replacing a claim about the target state with what is actually deployed: the product repositories do not notify this repo yet, an expired token fails the run rather than failing silently, pointing at released versions is not the same as being ready to release, and a routine push publishes a dev build rather than nothing. The version-update workflow's own token drops to `contents: read`, since every write goes through DEPLOY_GITHUB_TOKEN.

The registry lookup now fails for outages, authentication failures, DNS failures, and missing The script now reads complete dist-tag maps. It fails when a configured tag is missing. This prevents a bad tag from silently preserving stale pins.
The workflow permissions and documentation corrections also match the implementation. I found no additional issues in this follow-up review. If you found this review helpful, would you consider giving us a shout-out on X? Thank you for using CodeRabbit!

The v8 RC line publishes under `next` (operator, 2026-08-17), but @prisma/orm-toolchain has no `next` tag on the registry today — only `latest` at 8.0.0-rc.1 — and prisma/prisma's own versioning doc still describes the RC line moving `latest`. Hard-coding either name is wrong in one of the two worlds. Each watched package now carries candidate release tags, most-preferred first, and the first tag the package actually publishes wins. The ORM asks for `next` then `latest`, so rc.2 is picked up whichever tag it lands on. A package that publishes none of its candidates still fails the run rather than looking like "nothing to update".

The products' packages are all new, so no pre-8 audience needs protecting and their releases go straight to `latest`, pre-release versions included (operator, 2026-08-17). Holding `latest` back behind `next` matters for exactly one package: the bare `prisma` name, which this repo publishes and whose `latest` serves 7.9.1 to everyone who types `npm install prisma`. The candidate-tag list stays. A single-entry list still fails loudly when the tag is missing, which is the property that caught the ORM never being updated.

composer published 0.7.0 and prisma/prisma published 8.0.0-rc.2, both declaring @prisma/cli-engine@0.1.1 as an exact peer. The committed manifests now hold those, so the release channel reports nothing at all: no dev dependencies, one engine in the installed tree, no recorded exceptions left. The exception list is empty rather than absent, so adding an entry is a decision someone has to argue for instead of a way to get green. The stale TODO in src/cli.ts goes with it — the two-engine defect it described is closed. Signed-off-by: willbot <w.a.madden+machine@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Will Madden <madden@prisma.io>

The defect
prisma@8.0.0-rc.3shipped depending on@prisma/composer@0.6.0-dev.16and@prisma/orm-toolchain@8.0.0-rc.1-dev.40— dev builds, in a release. Two reasons, and neither was a decision:auto-repin.ymlfollowed each product's release dist-tag, so it would have moved these pins onto real releases — but it needed a token that was never provisioned, so it never executed once.The rule, and how it is kept
Operator ruling (2026-08-17): a non-dev CLI depends on the latest non-dev composer and ORM; a dev CLI depends on their latest dev builds.
update-product-versions.yml.maintherefore stays releasable, and every version change arrives as a pull request CI has tested. A release publish uses those pins exactly as committed, so a release is reproducible from its tag.devdist-tag in CI, ephemerally — the same treatment the CLI's own version already gets. Build and conformance run after the rewrite, in the same run, so a broken product dev build fails the dev publish instead of shipping inside it.-dev.version. It takes the channel fromdetermine-version.ts, and it has no exception mechanism on purpose: a suppressed finding exits 0, which is exactly how rc.3 shipped.One script serves both channels (
--channel release|dev), so the two cannot drift apart. It now editspackages/prisma/package.jsonas well aspackages/cli/package.json— the old one ignored the unscoped package, whose dependency list must match.The shell moves to
@prisma/composer-cli@prisma/composerdropped its./familyexport when composer split its CLI out, so the old pin only worked because it was a dev build from before the split. The shell andpackages/prismanow depend on@prisma/composer-cli@0.6.0-dev.22, which declares@prisma/cli-engineas an exact peer at0.1.1— the version this repo ships. That removes one of the two engine copies an install resolved, and composer's recorded pin exception is deleted.The engine-pin check now reads a family's
peerDependenciesas well as itsdependencies. Without that it would have silently stopped measuring composer the moment composer did the right thing.@prisma/composerstays as a devDependency: the startup probe imports it to prove the eager-loading detector works, and pnpm's strict layout will not resolve an undeclared package.Consequence: releases are blocked, correctly
Neither product has published a non-dev version this CLI can use, so check 4 fails the release channel today. That is the check working. What each product needs to publish:
@prisma/composer-cli@0.6.0— its only non-dev version — cannot be installed at all. It was published withnpm publishinstead ofpnpm publish, so its dependency on@prisma/composeris the literal stringworkspace:0.6.0;npm install @prisma/composer-cli@0.6.0fails withEUNSUPPORTEDPROTOCOL. Composer needs to publish withpnpm publishfrom a commit that peers the engine at the shipped version (0.6.0-dev.22already does). Composer's repo has no check that installs its own tarball, which is how this reached the registry; check 3 here catches exactly that class and is worth porting.@prisma/orm-toolchain@8.0.0-rc.1has no engine relationship, and its./cliexport contains noormCommandFamily— onlycreateContractEmitCommand,createFormatCommand,loadContractFromTs. The engine-based family exists only in dev builds, and the newest of those went back to declaring the engine at0.0.9. prisma/prisma needs to adapt to the current engine and publish that as a release.The ORM's engine-pin exception is the last one left; it dies with that publish, after which the check can move from pin equality to peer satisfaction.
