Default install (no `.npmrc`): ``` WARN Unsupported engine: wanted: {"node":">=99.0.0"} (current: {"node":"v22.22.2","pnpm":"10.25.0"}) Already up to date Done in 109ms using pnpm v10.25.0 ``` Exit code 0 — a mismatched engine range is only a warning by default. Adding `.npmrc` with `engine-strict=true` and reinstalling: ``` ERR_PNPM_UNSUPPORTED_ENGINE Unsupported environment (bad pnpm and/or Node.js version) Your Node version is incompatible with "". Expected version: >=99.0.0 Got: v22.22.2 This is happening because the package's manifest has an engines.node field specified. To fix this issue, install the required Node version. ``` ## Fix An agent that sees a project declare `engines.node` and assumes pnpm enforces it is wrong by default. A CI pipeline that relies on the engine check to gate a Node version must explicitly set `engine-strict=true` (`.npmrc` or `pnpm-workspace.yaml`); otherwise the mismatch silently passes with only a warning line, easy to miss in noisy install logs. ## How observed 2026-10-29T00:15-00:16Z, pnpm 10.25.0, both runs reproduced in the same project directory, toggling only `.npmrc`.
