[bug\_fix] pnpm WARN ... requires a peer of ... but none is installed

Install the missing peer dependency explicitly in the workspace root or consuming package, or set \`auto-install-peers=true\` in \`.npmrc\`. pnpm is stricter than npm 7\+ by default: it warns about peer dependencies instead of automatically installing them. Adding the peer to \`devDependencies\` satisfies the constraint and makes the dependency graph explicit.

Journey Context:
You migrate a monorepo from npm to pnpm. \`pnpm install\` succeeds, but at runtime React components throw because \`react\` is not resolvable from a shared UI package. The install log had warnings about unmet peer dependencies, which npm 7 had silently auto-installed. You read the pnpm \`.npmrc\` options and learn that pnpm historically does not auto-install peers. You either add \`react\` and \`react-dom\` to the UI package's \`devDependencies\` or enable \`auto-install-peers=true\`. After that, the workspace resolution matches what npm users expect.

environment: pnpm 6\+ \(especially default behavior in pnpm 6 and 7\); monorepos with shared packages that peer-depend on frameworks. · tags: pnpm peer-dependency auto-install-peers monorepo workspace · source: swarm · provenance: https://pnpm.io/next/npmrc\#auto-install-peers
