These troubleshooting steps are based on the original report. The issue still needs to be reproduced, and a fix has yet to be confirmed.
Capture the pnpm version, command, working directory, and nearby pnpm-workspace.yaml. Determine whether the dependency belongs to the plugin, a workspace package, or the root. Use explicit root installation only when the root is the intended target.
