v2026.6.12

## Added
- **bootstrap:** `mise bootstrap --skip <part>` for selective phases (`packages`, `dotfiles`, `defaults`, `launchd`, `systemd`, `user`, `tools`, `task`, `final-hook`); repeatable and comma-separated ([#10497](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10497) by @jdx).
- **http:** Cross-platform lock checksums resolved from published metadata via `checksum_url`, `checksum_expr`, and `checksum_algo` ([#10509](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10509) by @itochan).
- **aqua:** Parse and verify `checksum.replacements`, `checksum.minisign`, and `checksum.github_artifact_attestations` ([#10473](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10473) by @risu729).
- **registry:** Added [`aspire`](https://github.com/microsoft/aspire) ([#10520](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10520) by @davidfowl), [`ldc`](https://github.com/ldc-developers/ldc) ([#10527](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10527) by @slbls), and `nub` ([#10544](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10544) by @colinhacks).

## Fixed
- **upgrade:** Correctly remove the previously installed version during `mise up` when `minimum_release_age` is in effect ([#10466](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10466) by @roele).
- **install:** Rebuild runtime symlinks and shims for tools that succeeded in a partially failed `mise install` ([#10470](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10470) by @risu729).
- **bootstrap:** Detect systemd user manager via `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/systemd/private`, not only a session D-Bus, so headless systems are recognized ([#10550](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10550) by @jdx).
- **vfox:** Resolve `tools = true` env path templates like `{{ tools.python.path }}` against the fully-resolved dependency toolset; values now reach vfox install hooks and tool-level `postinstall` ([#10481](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10481) by @JamBalaya56562).
- **task:** Higher-precedence TOML wins when the same task is defined in multiple config files in one project ([#10471](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10471) by @risu729).
- **task:** Skip mise config TOMLs (e.g. `mise.toml`, `.mise/config.toml`) when walking directory task includes like `includes = ["."]` ([#10500](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10500) by @jdx).
- **task:** Return a clean error (and avoid panicking the scheduler) when the resolved inline/file shell is empty; spawned task panics now exit non-zero ([#10517](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10517) by @jdx).
- **task:** Honor `task.show_full_cmd` / `MISE_TASK_SHOW_CMD_NO_TRUNC` in the `[task] $ ...` header ([#10518](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10518) by @JamBalaya56562).
- **env:** Treat `$$` as a literal `$` during `env_shell_expand` ([#10511](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10511) by @jdx).
- **npm:** Warn when system pnpm/bun may not support `minimum_release_age` flags ([#10491](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10491) by @risu729).
- **pipx:** Run `pipx upgrade-shared` before fallback installs that forward `minimum_release_age` to pip ([#10472](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10472) by @risu729).
- **pipx:** Warn when `uv tool install` is below 0.2.22 for `--exclude-newer` ([#10510](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10510) by @risu729).
- **pipx:** Force `PIPX_DEFAULT_BACKEND=pip` on mise pipx subprocesses so pip flags are not forwarded to pipx's uv backend ([#10513](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10513) by @risu729).
- **backend:** Centralize dependency executable resolution and apply `windows_executable_extensions` consistently across uv, aube, cargo-binstall, and sops ([#10514](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10514) by @risu729).
- **system:** Drop the bare `--` from `dnf install`/`upgrade` argv, which DNF5 (Fedora 41+, RHEL/CentOS Stream 9+) rejects ([#10538](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10538) by @spencergilbert).

## Documentation
- **dotfiles:** Self-managing config examples source from the real clone path so first-run bootstrap works before the `~/.dotfiles` symlink exists ([#10494](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10494) by @jdx).
- Recommend keeping mise current ([#10505](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10505)) and clean up emoji checkboxes in env docs ([#10504](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10504)).

## Changed
- Bump `usage` to 3.5.2 ([#10498](https://github.com/jdx/mise/pull/10498)).
