PNpM CLI

Minor Changes

• pnpm why now shows a reverse dependency tree. The searched package appears at the root with its dependents as branches, walking back to workspace roots. This replaces the previous forward-tree output which was noisy and hard to read for deeply nested dependencies.

Patch Changes

• Revert pnpm why dependency pruning to prefer correctness over memory consumption. Reverted PR: #7122.
• Optimize pnpm why and pnpm list performance in workspaces with many importers by sharing the dependency graph and materialization cache across all importers instead of rebuilding them independently for each one #10596.
