[bug\_fix] ERR\_PNPM\_PEER\_DEP\_ISSUES Unmet peer dependencies

Explicitly install the missing peer dependencies in the workspace root, or create \`.npmrc\` with \`strict-peer-dependencies=false\` to allow the installation to proceed with warnings.

Journey Context:
Developer migrates a monorepo from npm/Yarn to pnpm 7\+. Running \`pnpm install\` fails immediately with \`ERR\_PNPM\_PEER\_DEP\_ISSUES\`, listing multiple packages that have unmet peer dependencies \(e.g., \`react\`, \`typescript\`\). Developer notes that these deps are installed in the root \`package.json\`, but pnpm's strict isolation means each package must explicitly declare its peer deps or have them hoisted properly. Developer tries \`pnpm install --force\` but pnpm doesn't have that flag for peer deps. They consider using \`auto-install-peers=true\` in \`.npmrc\`, but that can cause version conflicts. The correct path is either to add the peer deps to each workspace package that needs them, or to relax the constraint for migration purposes by setting \`strict-peer-dependencies=false\` in \`.npmrc\`, allowing the monorepo to function while peer dep warnings are visible but not blocking.
