Add @pnpm/resolving.tarball-url, which builds and recognizes the canonical npm tarball URL of a package. It vendors getNpmTarballUrl (previously the external get-npm-tarball-url dependency) and adds isCanonicalRegistryTarballUrl. @pnpm/lockfile.utils (toLockfileResolution, pkgSnapshotToResolution) and @pnpm/installing.env-installer now import from the new package; the private copy of the canonical check in toLockfileResolution is removed, and the external get-npm-tarball-url dependency and its catalog entry are dropped. The vendored getNpmTarballUrl is byte-for-byte equivalent to get-npm-tarball-url@2.1.0, so the fetch paths that use it are unchanged. Two correctness fixes are folded in while consolidating the logic: - the scoped-package unescape now handles uppercase %2F as well as %2f (percent-encoding is case-insensitive), so canonical scoped URLs are not needlessly persisted; - protocol-insensitive comparison strips only a leading http(s):// scheme via regex instead of splitting on the first :// (which could truncate a URL containing a later :// and yield a false-positive "canonical" match). Both fixes are mirrored in the pacquet port (is_canonical_registry_tarball_url in pacquet/crates/lockfile/src/resolution.rs) so the two stacks omit the same canonical scoped registry URLs from the lockfile, with matching regression tests. --------- 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!
