+Added support for `pnpm pm <command>` to force running the built-in pnpm command, bypassing any same-named script in package.json. For example, `pnpm pm clean` always runs the built-in clean command even if a "clean" script exists. Note that `pm` is now effectively reserved as a leading token; if you have a script named `pm`, run it explicitly with `pnpm run pm`.
