pnpm/pnpm v11.0.8 on GitHub

Patch Changes

Restored the heuristic that preserves tarball URLs in pnpm-lock.yaml when they cannot be derived from name+version+registry, even with the default lockfileIncludeTarballUrl: false. Without this, pnpm install --frozen-lockfile from an empty store fails with ERR_PNPM_FETCH_404 for packages on registries that serve tarballs from a non-standard path — most notably GitHub Packages (https://npm.pkg.github.com/download/<scope>/<name>/<version>/<hash>) and JSR. lockfileIncludeTarballUrl: true continues to force the URL into the lockfile for every package #11276.
Run preversion, version, and postversion lifecycle scripts for pnpm version.
Fixed ERR_PNPM_BAD_TARBALL_SIZE when a registry serves tarballs with an end-to-end Content-Encoding (e.g. gzip). Tarballs are already compressed, so the fetcher now requests them with Accept-Encoding: identity (matching pnpm v10's effective behavior) and, as defense in depth against misbehaving servers, no longer enforces the strict Content-Length check when the response declares a Content-Encoding — Content-Length in that case refers to the encoded payload, not the decoded bytes the fetch implementation yields #11506.
