jdx/mise v2026.5.6 on GitHub

A mix of features and correctness work: a native GitHub OAuth token source (experimental) that drops the dependency on gh/ghtkn, mise oci commands scoped to the current project by default, and two registry-lookup performance wins — plus fixes across activate, exec, java, lock, pipx, and vfox.

Added

(cli) Add --before <date> to mise ls-remote and mise lock for release-date-aware version discovery (#9269) by @risu729
(config) Hooks can now be defined as a table — { run = "...", shell = "bash -c" } — to pick a shell inline, alongside the existing string form (#9718) by @risu729
(github) Add native GitHub OAuth device-flow token source (experimental) — no dependency on gh/ghtkn (#9654) by @jdx. Create a GitHub App with device flow enabled, then authorize once:
```
mise settings set experimental true
mise settings set github.oauth_client_id Iv1.yourgithubappclientid
mise token github --oauth
```
mise caches and refreshes the token for its own GitHub API calls, and auto-exports it as GITHUB_TOKEN to shells started under mise activate/exec so gh, git, and other GitHub-aware tools pick it up too. See GitHub Tokens → Native GitHub OAuth for the full setup.
(oci) mise oci build/run/push are now scoped to the current project's config by default; pass --include-global to opt back into the previous behavior of including global config (#9766) by @jdx
(outdated) Prefixed-version requests now resolve to the latest within the prefix — e.g. temurin-17.0.19+10 for a temurin-17.x request, instead of jumping ahead to temurin-26.x (#9767) by @roele

Fixed

(activate) Guard bash chpwd_functions expansion under set -u so activated shells no longer fail with chpwd_functions[@]: unbound variable (#9716) by @risu729
(backend) Date-check the latest_stable_version fast path when --before or minimum_release_age is active, instead of returning a too-new version (#9650) by @risu729
(config) Parse core tool options consistently between table and bracket syntax, so [depends=...] and os= set the named core fields (#9742) by @risu729
(exec) Nested mise -C <dir> exec correctly resolves the inner toolset's tools again — __MISE_DIFF is now propagated to children so the child no longer inherits a mutated PATH that hides its own tools (#9765) by @jdx
(forgejo) Include prereleases when prerelease = true / MISE_PRERELEASES=1 is set (#9717) by @risu729
(github) Avoid caching empty release-asset responses, refetching instead (#9616) by @risu729
(java) Resolve core:java lockfile URLs/checksums from mise Java metadata, fixing mise install --locked for Java (#9719) by @risu729
(lock) Cache github_attestations = "unavailable" so locked installs stop hitting the GitHub attestation API for artifacts known to have none (#9741) by @risu729
(pipx) Preserve uvx_args/pipx_args/extras/uvx = false when pipx tools are reinstalled after a Python upgrade (#9663) by @risu729
(python) Skip redundant GitHub attestation re-verification when the lockfile already has checksum + provenance = "github-attestations" (#9739) by @risu729
(vfox) Run vfox plugin pre_uninstall hooks before removing install directories (#9662) by @risu729
Quote program and args in cmd::cmd(..) debug output so logged commands are unambiguous (#9777) by @ktetzlaff

Performance

(aqua) Bake aqua registry packages as rkyv blobs for much faster lookup (#9535) by @risu729
(registry) Use phf for the mise registry lookup table, around 3.3x faster than the previous BTreeMap path (#9769) by @risu729

Registry

Added vector (#9761) by @kquinsland
Added openshift-install and an http: backend for oc (#9669) by @konono
