## Summary Adds CI duration tracking for the `pnpm-ci-performance` Bencher project. Tracked Rust testbeds and benchmarks: - `pacquet.ubuntu`, `pacquet.windows`, `pacquet.macos` -> `tests.all` - `pnpr.ubuntu`, `pnpr.windows`, `pnpr.macos` -> `tests.all` Tracked pnpm testbeds and benchmarks for full test runs: - `pnpm.ubuntu.node22`, `pnpm.ubuntu.node24`, `pnpm.ubuntu.node26` -> `tests.all`, `tests.cli` - `pnpm.windows.node22`, `pnpm.windows.node24`, `pnpm.windows.node26` -> `tests.all`, `tests.cli` The test workflows produce Bencher-compatible JSON artifacts without receiving `BENCHER_API_TOKEN`. A separate `workflow_run` workflow downloads those artifacts only for same-repository runs, validates their metadata, and uploads from trusted workflow code using the existing `BENCHER_API_TOKEN` secret. The pnpm CLI e2e duration is extracted from `pnpm run --report-summary` output during the same full-test execution, so the CLI e2e suite is not run a second time.

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!
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.
