* fix(config): warn when package.json has a legacy "pnpm" field In v11, pnpm stopped reading settings from the `pnpm` field of package.json (#10086). Most former pnpm-field settings now live in `pnpm-workspace.yaml`; a few (e.g. `onlyBuiltDependencies`, `executionEnv`) were removed entirely. Until now the old field was silently ignored, so users upgrading from v10 had no signal that their overrides or patched dependencies had stopped taking effect. Emit a warning whenever the `pnpm` field contains any key that pnpm no longer reads from package.json. The check is an allowlist (only `pnpm.app`, consumed by `pnpm pack-app`, is still active), so the warning won't go stale as new settings are added or removed in future versions. The message points users at https://pnpm.io/settings rather than prescribing a single fix, since the new home depends on the key. Closes #11677. * fix(config): only warn for migrated pnpm-field keys, not unrelated ones Previously the warning fired for every key under `pnpm` except `app`, which would surface false positives for third-party tooling that piggybacks on the `pnpm` namespace. Switch to an explicit denylist of the v10 settings that moved to pnpm-workspace.yaml, matching the PR's stated contract. --------- Co-authored-by: Damon <damon@deeplearning.ai> Co-authored-by: Zoltan Kochan <z@kochan.io>

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!
