[Bug] running `patch-commit` for a package that has a builtin patch fails

Running patch-commit for a package that has a builtin patch now fails with

Internal Error: Assertion failed: Expected the resolution to have been registered

I can confirm this for typescript 4.8.4.

yarn 3.2.3 with nodeLinker: node-modules

I can confirm this for TypeScript 4.9.3 on Yarn 3.3.0 with nodeLinker: node-modules.

I tried both yarn patch typescript@npm:4.9.3 and yarn patch "typescript@patch:typescript@npm%3A4.9.3#~builtin<compat/typescript>::version=4.9.3&hash=d73830". Neither would successfully commit.

Any fix to this? I was able to limp the patch command home (I think) by supplying the resolution stanza myself:

  "resolutions": {
    "typescript@5.0.4": "patch:typescript@5.0.4#.yarn/patches/typescript-npm-5.0.4-122f6a883a.patch"
  },

but nothing happens when I yarn install, because I think either the builtin-compat one is not being patched or it won't do multiple patches or something. I tried applying my patch to the patched zip, but I don't know how to calculate the checksup to cheat it home. I think that I can't use ts from a git repo because I'll need the yarn patches applied

Any advice on how to arm-twist yarn into applying these changes welcome.

More headbanging found a workaround.

1. expand the base package zip -- in this case .yarn/cache/typescript-npm-5.0.4-122f6a883a-82b94da3f4.zip -- and unzipped it to a directory (paths looked like node_modules/typescript/<stuff>)
2. visit the node_modules/typescript directory (the one with a package.json) and run touch ./yarn.lock
3. run yarn pack --out ../../../path/to/desired/location/of/package/typescript-munged.tar.gz
4. back in your project root, run yarn add typescript@file:./...relative path.../typescript-munged.tar.gz
5. you will see yarn take your munged version of the package and apply its own magic patches.

This seems to have done the trick.

This will happen all the time when there's an entry for the package in resolutions itself - seems some bugs in that.
