Problem details

Observed symptom
Install says no matching version / tag not found even though the version exists on npm; or silently picks an older version (verbose log '[minimum-release-age] ... selected X instead of Y').
Context
Product: Bun Component: bun install minimum-release-age Operation: Installing a just-released package/fix (or dist-tag like latest) with install.minimumReleaseAge set in bunfig.toml or --minimum-release-age Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Packages: bun versions supporting minimumReleaseAge Trigger: All versions satisfying the range were published more recently than the configured threshold.

Recommended action: Wait until the version ages past the threshold, widen the range, or add the package to minimumReleaseAgeExcludes (bunfig) for trusted packages; check user-level ~/.bunfig.toml for a global setting. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
