* ci: run Linux/Node 24 tests first, then the rest of the matrix Run tests on ubuntu-latest / Node.js 24 as a smoke test first. The remaining 5 matrix combinations only start if it passes, saving CI resources on failing PRs. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(ci): extract test steps into reusable workflow Reduces duplication by moving all test steps into test.yml as a reusable workflow. ci.yml now calls it twice: once for the smoke test (Linux/Node 24) and once for the remaining matrix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(ci): remove redundant if conditions from dependent jobs The if condition only needs to be on compile-and-lint. Downstream jobs are automatically skipped when their needs are skipped. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * refactor(ci): clean up check names for reusable workflow Drop redundant "Test" prefix from caller job names since the reusable workflow job key "test" is automatically appended by GitHub, e.g. "CI / ubuntu-latest / Node.js 24 / test". Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> * style(ci): capitalize Test in reusable workflow job name Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com> --------- Co-authored-by: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

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 env use.
- 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!
If you'd like more details about the unique node_modules structure that pnpm creates and
why it works fine with the Node.js ecosystem, read this small article: Flat node_modules is not the only way.
