removed workspace project {id:?} cannot define other overrid

Error message

removed workspace project {id:?} cannot define other overrides

What it means

Each [monorepo.projects."<id>"] override in mise.toml is either a removal or a modification — not both. validate_override() rejects an entry that sets remove = true alongside any of root, metadata, depends, depends_add, or depends_remove, because a removed project (and all its edges) cannot meaningfully carry other configuration.

Solutions

1. Keep the removal entry to remove = true only; delete root/metadata/depends/depends_add/depends_remove from it
2. If you meant to redefine the project, drop remove = true and keep the other fields
3. If config layering merged the keys, move the removal to the outermost file or ensure entries don't overlap

Example fix

# before (mise.toml)
[monorepo.projects."cargo:legacy"]
remove = true
root = "crates/legacy"
depends_remove = ["cargo:shared"]

# after
[monorepo.projects."cargo:legacy"]
remove = true

}

When it happens

Trigger: A mise.toml entry combining remove = true with e.g. depends_add, root, or metadata; copy-pasting an existing override block and adding remove = true without deleting the other keys; YAML/TOML merge tools layering a removal onto a base config that already defined depends.

Common situations: Trying to 'remove and recreate' a project in one entry; nested config layering (mise.toml + mise.local.toml) where an override merges with a base that has other fields; misunderstanding that removal implies edge cleanup is automatic so no depends adjustments are needed.
