AI Summary
Fixes task dependency templates to render correctly when called without arguments and improves npm semver range parsing in `devEngines`.
Key Highlights
- Task dependency templates now render without arguments.
- `devEngines` version fields are now parsed as full npm semver ranges.
New Features
- Task dependency templates now render without arguments
- npm semver ranges in `devEngines`
Full Release Notes
A small release with two meaningful bug fixes: task dependency templates with `{{usage.*}}` references now resolve correctly even when the task is called without arguments, and `package.json` `devEngines` version fields are now parsed as full npm semver ranges instead of being simplified into prefix matches.
## Fixed
- **Task dependency templates now render without arguments** -- When a task declared dependencies using `{{usage.*}}` templates (e.g. `depends = ["child {{usage.app}}"]`), those templates were only rendered if the task received explicit CLI arguments. If the usage spec defined defaults but no args were passed, the templates were left unresolved and the dependencies were silently dropped, causing the task to run with no dependencies at all. The guard now checks whether dependencies contain usage references rather than whether args are non-empty. [#9062](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/9062) by @MatthiasGrandl
- **npm semver ranges in `devEngines`** -- mise previously simplified `package.json` `devEngines` version fields by stripping range operators (`>=`, `^`, `~`) and trimming trailing `.0` segments to produce a prefix for fuzzy matching. This was lossy and incorrect in many cases (e.g. `^20.0.1` was simplified to `20`, matching `20.0.0`). mise now preserves the original range string and resolves it against available versions using proper npm semver semantics via the `nodejs-semver` crate. Compound ranges (`>=20 <21 || >=22`), caret/tilde ranges, and wildcard segments all work correctly. [#9061](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/9061) by @risu729
- **Documentation typo in Go backend** -- The docs for Go build tags incorrectly showed `--tags` instead of the correct `-tags` flag. [#9065](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/9065) by @dolmen
