Report #7956

[bug\_fix] Error: Your application tried to access \[package\], but it isn't declared in your dependencies - see https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/pnp/troubleshooting

Add the package to the workspace's \`dependencies\` or \`devDependencies\`, or if the access is needed by a transitive dependency that forgot to declare it, configure \`packageExtensions\` in \`.yarnrc.yml\` to patch the dependency's package.json. For native modules requiring file system access, use \`yarn unplug \` to extract it from the zip. Root cause: Yarn Plug'n'Play \(PnP\) doesn't create a node\_modules folder; it uses a virtual filesystem and strictly enforces that packages can only access dependencies they explicitly declare.

Journey Context:
Developer enables Yarn 2\+ with PnP \(default\) on an existing project. After \`yarn install\`, running the app fails with 'Your application tried to access eslint-plugin-react, but it isn't declared in your dependencies'. Developer checks and sees the package is installed in the Yarn cache \(.yarn/cache\) but the app cannot find it. The issue is that PnP doesn't allow packages to access dependencies unless they are explicitly declared in the parent package.json or properly declared as peer/transitive deps. The solution is to either add the missing package to the workspace's dependencies \(\`yarn add eslint-plugin-react -D\`\), or if it's a transitive dependency issue where a package forgot to declare its own dependency, add a \`packageExtensions\` entry in \`.yarnrc.yml\` to patch the package's dependencies. For native modules that need to write to their own folder, \`yarn unplug \` extracts it from the zip to \`.yarn/unplugged\`.
