Report #85104

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

Add the missing package explicitly to dependencies \(not devDependencies if used in production\), or use the packageExtensions field in .yarnrc.yml to declare that a package depends on something it forgot to declare \(patching third-party packages\). Alternatively, switch to nodeLinker: node-modules in .yarnrc.yml to use classic node\_modules instead of PnP.

Journey Context:
You migrate your large monorepo to Yarn 3 with Plug'n'Play for faster installs and zero-installs. You run yarn start and get an error that 'lodash is not declared in your dependencies' even though lodash is clearly in node\_modules \(or the .pnp.cjs file\). You check your package.json and lodash is there. You realize PnP enforces that every package can only import what it explicitly declares in its own package.json - no hoisting allowed. The error is coming from a third-party package that forgot to declare lodash as a peer or dependency. You search for 'Yarn PnP ambiguous import' and find you can use packageExtensions in .yarnrc.yml to inject the missing dependency declaration into the faulty package without forking it. Alternatively, you add the missing package to your own deps and use the unplugged resolution, or you give up on PnP strictness and set nodeLinker: node-modules to restore classic node\_modules behavior.
