corepack: Add version 0.36.0 by o-l-a-v · Pull Request #8787 · ScoopInstaller/Main

o-l-a-v · 2026-10-30T18:13:40Z

Closes #8786.

Use conventional PR title: <manifest-name[@version]|chore>: <general summary of the pull request>
I have read the Contributing Guide

I see a previous PR was closed: #7264

I'd like to argue that:

It's optional to install it if it is acceped into main
Homebrew has Corepack: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/corepack

This would enable:

# Install prerequirements once
brew install main/corepack main/fnm

# Add fnm to PowerShell profile
fnm --resolve-packages --use-on-cd | Out-String | Invoke-Expression

# CD into a Node.js project and start working
cd someproject # fnm installs node.js version from package.json
yarn install # uses corepack from Scoop package

- Line 20: **Do not replace Node.js's npm shim by default.**

When Scoop's shims precede Node.js on `PATH`, this routes `npm` through Corepack
instead of Node.js's bundled npm. Corepack downloads a separate npm copy, which
does not use the persistent prefix configured in `bucket/nodejs.json`. Without a
separate prefix override, global packages can become unavailable after a Node.js
update. Remove the `npm` and `npx` entries; upstream also leaves these shims
disabled by default.

- Line 7: **State the supported Node.js versions.**

Corepack 0.36.0 requires `^22.22.2 || ^24.15.0 || >=26.0.0`; Node.js 20 and 25
are not supported. Add this requirement so users of version managers can select
a compatible runtime.

Based on learnings: declared dependencies should match upstream requirements.

`main/node` does not exist at the reviewed revision. The suggested command
therefore fails. Change it to `scoop install main/nodejs`.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- Corepack 0.36.0 is now available for installation through Scoop.
- The installation provides the Corepack, npm, npx, pnpm, pnpx, yarn, and yarnpkg commands.
- Node.js must be available on your PATH to use Corepack.

Walkthrough

Adds a Scoop manifest for Corepack 0.36.0. It defines the release archive and SHA-256 hash, extraction directory, command shims, Node.js requirement, version check, and auto-update URL.

Changes

Corepack manifest

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Corepack package manifest `bucket/corepack.json`	Adds Corepack 0.36.0 release metadata, archive extraction settings, command shims, a Node.js requirement note, GitHub version checking, and a version-templated auto-update URL.

Priority: Normal

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 698b1

Installing this manifest can put Corepack's npm ahead of Node.js's own npm. Global npm packages may then be lost when Node.js updates. The installation notes also give a command that fails and leave out the supported Node.js versions. Remove the npm and npx shims and fix the notes before merging.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The new bucket/corepack.json implements issue #8786. It defines Corepack 0.36.0 as a full version and uses the version-specific GitHub release archive with a SHA-256 hash. The manifest provides the requested non-GUI Node.js project package-manager version manager. It uses a standard archive install with no pre-install or post-install scripts. The issue supplies the English documentation and popularity evidence.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The pull request changes only bucket/corepack.json. The manifest fields, command shims, Node.js requirement, version check, and auto-update URL directly support the Corepack package request in issue #8786.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description includes a linked issue, confirms the conventional PR title requirement, confirms the contributing guide review, and explains the purpose and use case for the Corepack manifest. It is sufficiently complete for the repository template.

My main concern is that it's essentially a launcher wrapper. It won't run without a Node environment anyway. Right now, our manifests already have wrappers for Java packages and Python packages, which feels a bit out of place. If a dedicated package manager exists, installations should belong there instead.

We do acknowledge the irony and overhead of using npm to install Corepack, which
is at least part of why the preferred option is to use the Corepack version that
is distributed along with Node.js itself.

That said, I certainly understand the role corepack plays in the Node.js ecosystem. I'll leave the call to the other maintainers, as I've already closed one PR.
