Summary & Key Takeaways ​

• Introduces minimumReleaseAgeExcludePrune for smarter dependency pruning.
• Renames cleanupUnusedCatalogs to catalogPrune for consistent terminology.
• Adds syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts to keep injected packages in sync after script execution.
• Optimizes pnpm add to avoid full re-resolution when a satisfying version exists.
• Enables atomic switching for global installs, improving reliability.

Our Commentary ​

This RC for pnpm 12 looks solid. I'm particularly interested in the syncInjectedDepsAfterScripts feature; stale injected copies have been a minor annoyance. The atomic global installs are also a nice touch for stability. We appreciate the continuous improvements to developer experience here.
