[bug\_fix] Error: Your application tried to access , but it isn't declared in your dependencies - Qualified path resolution failed

Add the missing package to the explicit dependencies \(or devDependencies\) of the package that is trying to import it, eliminating the 'phantom dependency', or run yarn unplug if the package requires file system access.

Journey Context:
Developer migrates to Yarn 2\+ \(Berry\) using the default Plug'n'Play \(PnP\) mode. They install dependencies successfully, but when starting the application, they get 'Qualified path resolution failed' or 'Your application tried to access lodash, but it isn't declared in your dependencies'. They check and see lodash is installed in the project \(via another dependency\). They learn that Yarn PnP enforces strict dependency boundaries; packages can only require what they explicitly declare, preventing 'phantom dependencies' \(using transitive deps not listed in package.json\). They use yarn info to trace which package is missing the declaration. They add the missing package to the correct package.json dependencies. Alternatively, for packages that write to their own directory \(which PnP forbids via zip filesystem\), they use yarn unplug to extract it to .yarn/unplugged, allowing file system access while keeping PnP benefits for the rest.
