chore: migrate repository tooling to pnpm

[Waishnav]

DevSpace's source workflow still relied on npm for dependency locking, local scripts, and CI. This moves repository tooling to pinned pnpm 11.25.0, imports the existing lock state without direct dependency upgrades, and explicitly reviews which dependency build scripts are allowed to run.

CI now uses pnpm's setup action with Node 22 and frozen installs, while local development docs use pnpm commands. Published package consumption is unchanged: npm and npx users can continue installing and running DevSpace normally.

Summary by CodeRabbit

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The project switches its package-management workflow from npm to pnpm 11.25.0. Package metadata, build permissions, CI commands, local development documentation, and home-directory path assertions now use the updated workflow.

Changes

pnpm Toolchain Migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Package manager configuration package.json, pnpm-workspace.yaml, src/config.test.ts	The package declares pnpm 11.25.0, uses pnpm in build scripts, controls dependency build scripts through allowBuilds, and resolves home-directory paths with homedir().
CI pnpm execution .github/workflows/ci.yml	CI uses read-only contents permissions, a pinned pnpm setup action, frozen-lockfile installation, and pnpm validation commands.
Development workflow documentation README.md, docs/setup.md	Local development instructions document pnpm installation and pnpm development commands.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 6f90f

This change moves repository development and CI tooling to pnpm while preserving published package consumption, and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Poem

A rabbit checks the frozen lock
pnpm keeps the build in stock
CI runs each command with care
Home paths resolve everywhere
The workflow hops from npm's old block

Greptile Summary

This PR migrates repository development and CI tooling from npm to pinned pnpm 11.25.0 while retaining npm-based package consumption.

• Replaces the npm lockfile with a pnpm lockfile and adds an explicit dependency build-script policy.
• Updates package scripts, contributor documentation, and CI commands to use pnpm.
• Configures CI to install Node and pnpm before running frozen installs, checks, builds, and the doctor command.

Confidence Score: 4/5

The PR should not merge until the CI setup step points to the actual pnpm action repository; the corrected third-party action should also be pinned immutably.

Every CI matrix job currently reaches an unresolvable pnpm/setup action before installing dependencies, preventing all checks from running, while the mutable tag adds a separate non-blocking supply-chain weakness.

Files Needing Attention: .github/workflows/ci.yml

Security Review

The new third-party setup action uses a mutable major-version tag. Pin the corrected action reference to a reviewed full commit SHA so CI cannot silently execute different action code.

Important Files Changed

Filename	Overview
.github/workflows/ci.yml	Migrates CI to pnpm, but the setup step references the wrong action repository and uses a mutable third-party tag.
package.json	Pins pnpm 11.25.0 and consistently migrates internal build and prepack script chaining to pnpm.
pnpm-lock.yaml	Adds the pnpm lock state corresponding to the repository dependency manifest.
pnpm-workspace.yaml	Explicitly permits required native/build dependencies and rejects reviewed unnecessary build scripts.
README.md	Updates contributor workflow examples from npm to pnpm.
docs/setup.md	Updates local source-development setup instructions to use a frozen pnpm install.
