[bug\_fix] Error: Your application tried to access \[package\], but it isn't declared in your dependencies

Explicitly add the accessed package to your dependencies, or switch to node-modules linker by setting nodeLinker: node-modules in .yarnrc.yml

Journey Context:
Developer migrates to Yarn 2/3/4 \(Berry\) with Plug'n'Play \(PnP\) enabled. When running the application, it crashes with a strict dependency error stating a package tried to access another package not listed in its dependencies. This occurs because PnP uses a virtual filesystem \(zipfs\) and enforces that packages can only access explicitly declared dependencies, unlike node\_modules hoisting where transitive dependencies are accessible. The error often happens with older packages assuming hoisting. The developer can fix this by adding the missing package to the explicit dependencies of the consuming package \(if it's their package\) or using yarn unplug to modify resolution, but the most common fix for widespread compatibility issues is opting out of PnP by setting nodeLinker: node-modules in .yarnrc.yml, which restores traditional node\_modules behavior.
