Our Commentary ​

pnpm keeps getting better. The profile and token commands are nice quality-of-life additions, but the storeIndexFormat: files setting for network filesystems is a real problem-solver. Anyone who's tried to use pnpm stores over SMB knows the pain of SQLite locking. This is a smart solution. We're always looking for ways to improve DX, and these kinds of targeted fixes and features really deliver.
