pnpm 12.8.1 fixes pnpm install --frozen-lockfile rejecting lockfiles with injected workspace packages that have peers, restores the executable bit on files of local directory dependencies, makes pnpm dedupe converge, and uses less CPU on many-core machines.

Patch Changes

  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile no longer rejects a freshly generated lockfile when an injected workspace package has peer dependencies #16332.

  • Executable files in a file: directory dependency or an injected workspace package keep their executable bit again. Since 12.8.0, pnpm installed these files without the permissions they have in their project.

  • pnpm dedupe now reaches a stable lockfile when a package's peer suffix is long enough to be hashed. Before, each run could switch that package's key between the hashed and the spelled-out suffix, so pnpm dedupe --check always failed #16331.

  • pnpm install --frozen-lockfile, the default in CI, now uses less CPU on machines with more than 8 cores. Warm installs on many-core Windows machines got up to 10% faster. Frozen installs now link with at most 16 worker threads.

  • verifyDepsBeforeRun no longer reports dependencies as outdated after a filtered install just because pnpm-lock.yaml has a newer modification time. It checks the lockfile against the packages that install put in place. Before, pnpm run reinstalled the whole workspace with lifecycle scripts on, for example after a Docker COPY brought in a lockfile with a newer mtime #16322.

    After a filtered install, verifyDepsBeforeRun now also checks that the install put the selected projects' dependencies in place. A node_modules directory alone no longer counts as proof.

  • pnpm run and pnpm exec no longer install a project that has never been installed and has nothing to install. Such a project declares no dependencies, no peer dependencies that autoInstallPeers would fetch, and no install lifecycle scripts. The command now runs without writing node_modules or pnpm-lock.yaml #16313.

  • pnpm update -g --latest now upgrades globally installed packages beyond their saved version ranges #16320.
