* refactor(graph-hasher): replace ad-hoc libc detection with pacquet-detect-libc Extract libc detection into a new `pacquet-detect-libc` crate ported from the upstream `detect-libc` JS package, replacing the limited ad-hoc `detect_host_libc()` in graph-hasher. Detection uses a three-tier fallback (ELF header → filesystem → command) that avoids spawning processes in the common case and works in slim containers where getconf or ldd may not be present. The command step runs getconf and ldd --version as separate subprocesses to avoid stream pollution between the two, with ldd only invoked when getconf fails. * fix(detect-libc): harden ELF parser, UTF-8 decoding, test cfg, and imports - Use checked arithmetic (checked_add/checked_mul) in elf_interpreter to return None on overflow instead of panicking on malformed headers - Use from_utf8_lossy for /usr/bin/ldd content so non-UTF-8 bytes don't skip the filesystem detection path - Gate detect_integration_host test with #[cfg(target_os = "linux")] so it doesn't fail on non-Linux platforms - Replace use super::* with explicit imports in command tests * fix(detect-libc): use from_utf8_lossy for command output, fix lints and tests

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.
