The hoist rounds ran on every install, so a missing peer that some version elsewhere in the workspace could satisfy was installed even with `autoInstallPeers: false` and `dedupePeerDependents: false` — the dependent then carried a peer context the TypeScript CLI never writes. Upstream derives one flag from the two settings — `hoistPeers = autoInstallPeers || dedupePeerDependents` in `installing/deps-resolver/src/resolveDependencyTree.ts` — and `resolveRootDependencies` returns before the hoist loop when it is false: hoisting a peer nobody asked to install only pays off if peer-suffixed variants are being collapsed. `ImporterHoistState` now carries the same derived flag and both rounds no-op when it is unset, which leaves the peer missing and the dependent's snapshot free of a peer suffix. The final peer pass is untouched, so unmet peers are still reported. Verified against the TypeScript CLI on a two-project workspace: all four `autoInstallPeers` x `dedupePeerDependents` combinations now produce byte-identical lockfiles, where the both-off combination previously diverged. Follow-up to pnpm/pnpm#13372.

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.
- Experimental Rust port. Includes pacquet, an experimental port of the CLI written in Rust.
- 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!
