PNPM workspaces combined with GitHub Actions provide deterministic, lightning-fast dependency resolution and CI quality gates.
- The
catalog:Protocol: Centralises dependency versioning inpnpm-workspace.yaml, preventing version mismatches across multiple packages in a monorepo. - Strict Frozen Lockfiles: Enforce
pnpm install --frozen-lockfilein CI to guarantee that local build environments match automated deployment servers bit-for-bit. - Matrix CI Testing: Execute automated type checking, linting, unit testing, and static builds concurrently across multiple Node versions and OS platforms.
