Adds a regression test for #11698. The underlying fix already shipped as part of #11705 (which removed `strictPublishedByCheck` entirely and routed maturity decisions through `policyViolation`), so this PR now lands only the dedicated test that locks in the behavior. ## What the test covers `deps/inspection/commands/test/outdated/minimumReleaseAge.test.ts`: - **Baseline** — without an age policy, `pnpm outdated` reports `is-negative@2.1.0` as an available upgrade (sanity check that the fixture actually has outdated deps). - **Regression** — with `minimumReleaseAge` set to a cutoff so far in the past that every published version is immature, `pnpm outdated` reports nothing: `exitCode === 0` and `2.1.0` does not appear. Before #11705 this test went red because the non-strict resolver fallback re-picked the immature `latest` ignoring `publishedBy`. The `allImmatureMinimumReleaseAge = Date.now() / (60 * 1000)` trick (cutoff = epoch in minutes) is date-independent and matches the technique already used in the install-side `minimumReleaseAge` suite. ## Why a test-only PR The original PR proposed flipping `strictPublishedByCheck` in `createManifestGetter`, but #11705 deleted that option entirely and replaced it with an always-defer model (`policyViolation` flows through `ResolveResult` → `getManifest` returns `null` on `MINIMUM_RELEASE_AGE_VIOLATION`). The test was the durable contribution; preserving it as a regression gate is worth keeping.

Fast, disk space efficient package manager:
- Fast. Up to 2x faster than the alternatives (see benchmark).
- Efficient. Files inside
node_modulesare linked from a single content-addressable storage. - Great for monorepos.
- Strict. A package can access only dependencies that are specified in its
package.json. - Deterministic. Has a lockfile called
pnpm-lock.yaml. - Works as a Node.js version manager. See pnpm runtime.
- Works everywhere. Supports Windows, Linux, and macOS.
- Battle-tested. Used in production by teams of all sizes since 2016.
- See the full feature comparison with npm and Yarn.
To quote the Rush team:
Microsoft uses pnpm in Rush repos with hundreds of projects and hundreds of PRs per day, and we’ve found it to be very fast and reliable.

Background
pnpm uses a content-addressable filesystem to store all files from all module directories on a disk. When using npm, if you have 100 projects using lodash, you will have 100 copies of lodash on disk. With pnpm, lodash will be stored in a content-addressable storage, so:
- If you depend on different versions of lodash, only the files that differ are added to the store.
If lodash has 100 files, and a new version has a change only in one of those files,
pnpm updatewill only add 1 new file to the storage. - All the files are saved in a single place on the disk. When packages are installed, their files are linked from that single place consuming no additional disk space. Linking is performed using either hard-links or reflinks (copy-on-write).
As a result, you save gigabytes of space on your disk and you have a lot faster installations!
