- Added automatic Node.js runtime installation for dependencies based on their "engines" field, ensuring CLI apps and postinstall scripts use the required Node version.
- Introduced a new "trustPolicy" setting with a "no downgrade" mode to block installations when a package’s trust level drops, improving supply‑chain security.
- Fixed several bugs: "pnpm update" now respects non‑listed dependencies, hard‑link race crashes are prevented, "gitBranchLockfile" can be set via workspace.yaml, and added support for "pnpm config get globalconfig".
