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

Add the missing peer dependencies explicitly to your project's dependencies, or create a .npmrc file with 'strict-peer-dependencies=false' to allow the install to proceed with warnings instead of errors.

Journey Context:
Developer migrates an existing React project from npm to pnpm for faster installs. Running 'pnpm install' immediately fails with 'ERR\_PNPM\_PEER\_DEP\_ISSUES Unmet peer dependencies' listing react and react-dom as required by various packages but not present. Developer is confused because the project has react in dependencies. The root cause is that pnpm enforces strict peer dependency checking by default, meaning every peer dependency declared by any package must be explicitly installed in the project's dependencies \(not just satisfied by a transitive dependency\). npm 7\+ auto-installs peers, hiding this issue. The fix is either adding the specific peer deps to package.json explicitly, or configuring pnpm to be less strict via .npmrc setting strict-peer-dependencies=false, which mirrors npm's looser behavior.
