Our Commentary ​

An alpha release, but these are some solid improvements for pnpm. The peer dependency resolution fix sounds like a quality-of-life win, and a dedicated pnpm licenses command is genuinely useful for compliance. We've all been burned by lockfile issues, so those fixes are always welcome. It's good to see the Rust pacquet port getting more features too.
