## Description
Adds a `--dry-run` option to `pnpm install` with **npm-style preview semantics**: it runs a full dependency resolution and reports what a real install **would** add/remove/update, but writes **nothing** to disk (no lockfile, no `node_modules`, no `.modules.yaml`, no workspace-state file) and **always exits 0**.
```
$ pnpm install --dry-run
Dry run complete. A real install would make the following changes (nothing was written to disk):
Importers
.
+ is-negative 1.0.0
Packages
+ is-negative@1.0.0
```
When the lockfile is already up to date it prints `Dry run complete. pnpm-lock.yaml is up to date; a real install would make no changes.`
Resolves https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/issues/7340.
### Why this shape
An earlier attempt (#12270, now closed) implemented `--dry-run` as `--frozen-lockfile --lockfile-only` — i.e. a fail-on-drift *lockfile validator*. That collides with the well-established meaning of `--dry-run` across npm/yarn ("preview, never fail") and duplicated existing behaviour (`pnpm install --frozen-lockfile --lockfile-only` already does that). This PR implements the intuitive preview meaning instead.
### How it works (pnpm)
- Reuses the existing `lockfileCheck` callback (resolve fully, skip the lockfile write, hand back the before/after wanted lockfile) plus `lockfileOnly` (skip `node_modules`, the workspace-state file, and metadata-cache writes).
- The frozen/headless fast path is disabled whenever `lockfileCheck` is set, so a check-only install always resolves and never materialises anything.
- The before/after lockfiles are diffed (reusing the dedupe diff engine, now exported as `calcDedupeCheckIssues`) and rendered into the report.
- `--dry-run` with a configured pnpr server is rejected (that path resolves/links through the server).
### Pacquet
Ported in the second commit — `pacquet install --dry-run` forces the fresh-resolve path, skips every write (a new `dry_run` flag on `InstallWithFreshLockfile` skips the `pnpm-lock.yaml` save), and a new `dry_run` module diffs the existing lockfile against the freshly-resolved one and prints the same report.
Replaces the unmaintained `enquirer` package with `@inquirer/prompts` for all interactive CLI prompts. Fixes the `update -i` scrolling overflow bug where long choice lists were clipped in the terminal.
Fixes#6643
## User-facing changes
- **`pnpm update -i` / `pnpm update -i --latest`**: Scrolling now works correctly when many packages are available; the new library uses visual-line-aware pagination via `usePagination`
- **`pnpm audit --fix -i`**: Same scrolling fix for vulnerability selection
- **`pnpm approve-builds`**: Interactive build approval prompts updated
- **`pnpm patch`**: Version selection and "apply to all" prompts updated
- **`pnpm patch-remove`**: Patch removal selection updated
- **`pnpm publish`**: Branch confirmation prompt updated
- **`pnpm login`**: Credential prompts updated
- **`pnpm run` / `pnpm exec`** (with `verifyDepsBeforeRun=prompt`): Confirmation prompt updated
## Internal changes
- `OtpEnquirer` DI interface changed from `{ prompt }` to `{ input }`
- `LoginEnquirer` DI interface changed from `{ prompt }` to `{ input, password }`
- `enquirer` removed from catalog and all 8 package.json files
- `@inquirer/prompts` v8.4.3 added to catalog and all 8 package.json files
- Removed `OtpPromptOptions` and `OtpPromptResponse` exports from `@pnpm/network.web-auth` (no longer needed)

* refactor(config): split Config interface into settings + runtime context
Create ConfigContext for runtime state (hooks, finders, workspace graph,
CLI metadata) and keep Config for user-facing settings only. Functions
use Pick<Config, ...> & Pick<ConfigContext, ...> to express which fields
they need from each interface.
getConfig() now returns { config, context, warnings }. The CLI wrapper
returns { config, context } and spreads both when calling command
handlers (to be refactored to separate params in follow-up PRs).
Closes#11195
* fix: address review feedback
- Initialize cliOptions on pnpmConfig so context.cliOptions is never undefined
- Move rootProjectManifestDir assignment before ignoreLocalSettings guard
- Add allProjectsGraph to INTERNAL_CONFIG_KEYS
* refactor: remove INTERNAL_CONFIG_KEYS from configToRecord
configToRecord now accepts Config and ConfigContext separately, so
context fields are never in scope. Only auth-related Config fields
(authConfig, authInfos, sslConfigs) need filtering.
* refactor: eliminate INTERNAL_CONFIG_KEYS from configToRecord
configToRecord now receives the clean Config object and explicitlySetKeys
separately (via opts.config and opts.context), so context fields are
never in scope. main.ts passes the original split objects alongside
the spread for command handlers that need them.
* fix: spelling
* fix: import sorting
* fix: --config.xxx nconf overrides conflicting with --config CLI flag
When `pnpm add` registers `config: Boolean`, nopt captures
--config.xxx=yyy as the --config flag value instead of treating it
as a nconf-style config override. Fix by extracting --config.xxx args
before nopt parsing and re-parsing them separately.
Also rename the split config/context properties on the command opts
object to _config/_context to avoid clashing with the --config CLI option.
Replace the hardcoded command name list in main.ts with a declarative
recursiveByDefault property on CommandDefinition. Each command that
should run workspace-wide by default now exports this property.
Also adds recursiveByDefault to list, ll, and why commands.
* refactor: rename workspace.sort-packages and workspace.pkgs-graph
- workspace.sort-packages -> workspace.projects-sorter
- workspace.pkgs-graph -> workspace.projects-graph
