pnpm & CI/CD Pipelines: Does lockfile consistency influence deployment reproducibility?
When a deployment fails after passing all local tests, the first step is to inspect the CI logs for clues that point to pnpm’s lockfile or hoisting behavior. The goal is to determine whether a mismatch between the lockfile and the resolved dependency tree, or a silent link‑creation failure, is the root cause. pnpm’s content‑addressable store and use of hard
