Abdullah Alaqeel 817f99dbe5 fix(resolver): stabilize transitivePeerDependencies in dependency cycles (#12286)
## Summary

Fixes lockfile churn where a package's `transitivePeerDependencies` (e.g. `supports-color` via `debug`) could be dropped — and shift between packages — when the package participates in a dependency cycle. Which packages carry a given transitive peer depended on resolution order, so upgrading an unrelated dependency churned the lockfile.

## Root cause

When peer resolution walks into a cycle, the cycle is broken by dropping the repeated package's subtree, so the re-entry occurrence resolves against truncated children and looks peer-free. That occurrence was then recorded as "pure" in `purePkgs` — a verdict keyed by package id, not by context. A later occurrence of the same package, reached through a different parent that *can* see the full subtree, hit the `purePkgs` short-circuit and returned an empty peer set, dropping the transitive peers it should have surfaced. Because the outcome depends on which occurrence is walked first, it was order-dependent.

## Fix

Don't record a cycle re-entry's resolution in `purePkgs` / `peersCache` (a re-entry is detected when the package id already appears in the ancestor chain). Its truncated peer sets aren't authoritative for the package as a whole, so leaving the caches untouched lets later occurrences resolve correctly — or reuse the package's authoritative, non-truncated entry via `findHit`. This is a minimal guard at the cache-population site: it adds no post-resolution pass and does not change `transitivePeerDependencies` for packages that aren't in cycles.

This PR also includes an independent fix: when collecting peer providers from a node's children, match each child's resolved package name in addition to its alias, so `pnpm add my-alias@npm:real-pkg` is visible to peer resolution when `real-pkg` is a peer dependency name.

Both the TypeScript pnpm CLI and the Rust (pacquet) port are updated in parity.

Fixes pnpm/pnpm#5108

Related `transitivePeerDependencies`-instability reports: pnpm/pnpm#5552, pnpm/pnpm#5794, and the `transitivePeerDependencies` aspect of pnpm/pnpm#9992 (the out-of-scope version drift in pnpm/pnpm#9992 is a separate problem and is not addressed here).
