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

Add strict-peer-dependencies=false to .npmrc in the project root, or explicitly install the missing peer dependencies into devDependencies, or update packages to versions with aligned peer ranges. Root cause: pnpm defaults to strict peer dependency checking, treating unmet peers as install-blocking errors unlike npm which \(before v7\) warned or npm v7\+ with --legacy-peer-deps.

Journey Context:
Switched from npm to pnpm for faster installs and disk efficiency, ran pnpm install on existing monorepo, immediately blocked by ERR\_PNPM\_PEER\_DEP\_ISSUES listing unmet peers for react, react-dom, typescript, eslint across multiple workspace packages. Checked package.json, all seemed correct. Read pnpm documentation and realized pnpm enforces strict peer dependencies by default, whereas npm was more lenient. Created .npmrc file with strict-peer-dependencies=false to match previous npm behavior, allowing install to proceed while maintaining the strict resolution for deployment.
