Our Commentary ​

pnpm 12.3 is a solid minor update. Making global commands native executables is a nice touch for consistency and reliability, especially on Windows. Extending the --trust-lockfile options to remove and update is also a welcome improvement for supply-chain management. It's these kinds of continuous refinements that make pnpm such a robust tool.
