Report #16514

[bug\_fix] Error: Your application tried to access , but it isn't declared in your dependencies; this makes the require call ambiguous and unsound.

Add the missing package to the dependencies of the workspace that imports it, or configure \`.yarnrc.yml\` to use \`pnpMode: loose\` to allow undeclared access \(transitional workaround\). For third-party packages with missing deps, use \`packageExtensions\` in \`.yarnrc.yml\` to inject the missing dependency declaration without patching the library.

Journey Context:
Developer enables Yarn 2/3/4 with Plug'n'Play \(PnP\) by setting \`nodeLinker: pnp\`. The install creates a \`.pnp.cjs\` file instead of \`node\_modules\`. Running the app throws an error that a package tried to access another package not in its dependency list. This occurs because the legacy code or a dependency relies on 'phantom dependencies' \(accessing a package hoisted by npm/yarn classic that it didn't declare\). Yarn PnP enforces strict dependency boundaries for reproducibility. The developer can either fix the package's manifest to explicitly depend on what it uses, or use \`pnpMode: loose\` to temporarily allow access to undeclared dependencies \(simulating hoisting\), or use \`packageExtensions\` to patch third-party packages. The strict fix works because it makes the dependency graph explicit, allowing Yarn's resolver to create the correct symlink/map in the PnP runtime.
