Our Commentary ​

I'm genuinely impressed by the continued evolution of pnpm. The new versioning logic and the --changeset flag feel like a huge win for monorepo maintainers. Automating those patch/major bumps based on dependency changes? That's just smart. We've all been there, manually figuring out what needs a bump. This is a solid DX improvement.
