Description

I have pnpm installed through their recommended installation method as a global binary, which is designed to manage/switch versions itself. However, with this repo, the current setup causes it to just bail out due to error being set:

pnpm -v
Error: ERR_PNPM_BAD_PM_VERSION

  × This project is configured to use 12.8.1 of pnpm. Your current pnpm is v12.14.0
  help: If you want to bypass this version check, you can set the "pmOnFail" configuration to "warn" or "ignore" (e.g. via --pm-on-fail=ignore). If using "devEngines.packageManager", you can
        set its "onFail" to "warn" or "ignore"

Instead, we can set it download, allowing pnpm to manage its own versions and download/switch to the correct version:

pnpm -v
12.8.1

Validation

pnpm continues to work locally for folks.

It looks like PNPM can also manage Node.js versions: https://pnpm.io/cli/runtime

Yah, that's not something I use, and I don't think needs any changes in this PR? I don't want to have anything tooling-opinionated where possible; really, would rather have things done in a way where folks can use whatever tooling they desire.
