[bug\_fix] ERR\_PNPM\_PEER\_DEP\_ISSUES  Peer dependencies that should be installed

Add strict-peer-dependencies=false to .npmrc, or explicitly add the missing peer dependencies to package.json, or use pnpm.peerDependencyRules.allowedVersions in package.json to allow the conflict.

Journey Context:
A developer migrates a monorepo from Yarn to pnpm. Running pnpm install immediately fails with ERR\_PNPM\_PEER\_DEP\_ISSUES, listing multiple peer dependency problems \(e.g., react@18 required but react@17 found\). Unlike npm, pnpm defaults to strict-peer-dependencies=true, which halts installation on any unmet peer dep. The developer checks .npmrc and sees it's missing. They have three options: 1\) Set strict-peer-dependencies=false in .npmrc to mimic npm's lenient behavior \(with warnings\), 2\) Actually install the peer deps in the workspace root, or 3\) Use pnpm.peerDependencyRules.allowedVersions to explicitly allow the React 17/18 mismatch. They choose option 1 for the migration phase, then fix the actual conflicts later.
