vp run -r executes each package task twice when the root package has a matching recursive script #3221

Summary

vp run -r <task> selects every package in the workspace including the workspace-root package. When the root package's package.json defines a same-named script that itself calls vp run -r <task> (the documented monorepo pattern), that script is expanded inline and schedules a second copy of every package's task in the same run — so each package's task runs twice concurrently.

Reproduction

// package.json (workspace root)
{
  "name": "workhub",
  "workspaces": { "packages": ["apps/*", "packages/*"] },
  "scripts": { "test": "vp run -r test" }
}

vp run -r test

Observed with vite-plus 1.2.0:

• vp run summary reports ~2× the expected task count (e.g. 25 tasks for 12 packages).
• vp run --last-details lists the same task id twice, e.g. @workhub/shared#test appears as two separate entries in one run.
• Command echoes (~/packages/shared$ vp test run) and RUN v5.0.4 banners appear twice per package, started within ~2s of each other → the two executions run concurrently, not sequentially.

Why it is harmful

• Doubled wall time for typecheck / lint / test on every vp run -r.
• Any task that is not safe to run twice concurrently in the same directory breaks. Our apps/api story tests create a temporary probe file at a fixed path and lint it; the two concurrent vp test run processes raced on the filename (existsSync guard threw "already exists"), which is how we noticed — it failed our deploy pipeline.
• --concurrency-limit does not help: both copies are in the same task graph.

Expected behavior

One of:

1. -r does not select the workspace-root package's package.json scripts, or
2. when a selected script expands to vp run invocations, the expanded task specs are deduplicated against already-scheduled tasks in the same run.

Workaround

Select packages explicitly, excluding root:

vp run -F './apps/*' -F './packages/*' test   # each package runs exactly once

Note -F and -r cannot be combined (--filter and --recursive cannot be used together), and {apps,packages}/* brace globs do not match — two -F flags are needed.

Environment

vite-plus 1.2.0, bun workspaces (apps/*, packages/*), Node 22, macOS arm64 and GitHub Actions ubuntu-latest (same behavior on both).
