Our Commentary ​

This pnpm release feels like a solid step forward. The new override selectors with wildcards are genuinely powerful for complex monorepos. But the Docker file permissions fix? That's a huge quality-of-life improvement. I've seen so many developers struggle with that exact issue. It's the kind of fix that just makes things work without you even realizing why they were broken before.
