Summary & Key Takeaways ​

• pnpm cache path is added, printing the metadata cache directory for CI use.
• --config.config-dir and similar flags no longer read from pnpm-workspace.yaml.
• pnpm config set now prevents writing unsupported settings to pnpm-workspace.yaml.
• A new setting, minimumReleaseAgeExcludePrune, helps prune old lockfile entries.

Our Commentary ​

This is a solid maintenance release. The pnpm cache path is a small but mighty addition for anyone dealing with CI pipelines; caching that lockfile verification log could save some precious seconds. I appreciate the stricter config handling too; it's always better when tools guide you away from misconfigurations rather than letting you shoot yourself in the foot. Not flashy, but important for stability.
