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

Add the accessed package to your project's dependencies \(yarn add lodash\) or, for compatibility edge cases, add the package to packageExtensions in .yarnrc.yml; as a last resort set nodeLinker: node-modules in .yarnrc.yml to fall back to classic node\_modules.

Journey Context:
You migrate a Create-React-App project to Yarn Berry with Plug'n'Play. The dev server starts but crashes at runtime saying your app tried to access lodash but it isn't declared. You inspect .pnp.cjs and see lodash is only a transitive dependency of another package, not a direct dependency. Yarn PnP enforces that each package can only require what it declares. The rabbit-hole includes searching the dependency tree with yarn why lodash. The fix is to declare lodash explicitly because PnP's strictness requires first-class dependency declarations; using nodeLinker: node-modules disables PnP if too many packages rely on hoisting.
