Feature Description

Currently, the project uses npm for dependency management. This has led to slow installs, frequent package-lock.json updates, and inconsistencies between local and CI environments.

• npm install takes ~5 minutes due to redundant dependency downloads.
• Frequent package-lock.json churn causes unnecessary diffs in PRs.
• Inconsistent dependency trees between contributors.
• Slower CI/CD installs.

Use Case

Migrating to pnpm will improve installation speed, reduce disk space usage, and ensure consistent dependency resolution across all contributors.

Benefits

• ~2–5x faster installs.
• Deterministic lockfile with less churn.
• Lower disk usage via content-addressable storage.
• Simpler dependency management in CI/CD.
