* fix: detect enableGlobalVirtualStore toggle in workspace state check (#12142) The optimisticRepeatInstall fast path bypasses validateModules entirely, so toggling enableGlobalVirtualStore off was not detected — pnpm printed "Already up to date" without reinstalling deps in the new virtual store location. Add enableGlobalVirtualStore to WORKSPACE_STATE_SETTING_KEYS so checkDepsStatus detects the change and falls through to the full mutateModules path (which includes the virtualStoreDir compatibility check and purge). * refactor: bidirectional settings comparison in checkDepsStatus Iterate over WORKSPACE_STATE_SETTING_KEYS instead of Object.entries(workspaceState.settings) so that settings absent from legacy state files (e.g. enableGlobalVirtualStore) are still compared against the current config. Removes the ad-hoc allowBuilds null-check block since the main loop now covers it with the ?? {} coalescing. * fix(workspace-state): track enableGlobalVirtualStore in pacquet state Port pnpm/pnpm#12147 to pacquet. pnpm's checkDepsStatus now iterates the full WORKSPACE_STATE_SETTING_KEYS list, so a key pacquet omits from .pnpm-workspace-state-v1.json is read as `undefined` and compared against pnpm's resolved config. `enableGlobalVirtualStore` resolves to a concrete default (true, or false under CI), so omitting it would make pnpm reinstall after a pacquet install — and pacquet itself never detected the toggle (its own copy of pnpm/pnpm#12142). Add `enable_global_virtual_store` to WorkspaceStateSettings; current_settings writes `then_some(true)` (omit when off, mirroring pnpm omitting its undefined default); settings_match coerces `None`/`Some(false)` as equal before comparing, matching the existing allow_builds/package_extensions handling. --------- 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!
