Migration guide: Migrating from v10 to v11

Patch Changes

• Fixed installation of GitLab-hosted dependencies. pnpm now downloads the tarball from https://gitlab.com/<user>/<project>/-/archive/<sha>/<project>-<sha>.tar.gz instead of the GitLab API endpoint that contained an encoded slash (%2F) between user and project. The encoded slash both triggered 406 Not Acceptable responses from GitLab and produced virtual store directory names that Node refused to import (ERR_INVALID_MODULE_SPECIFIER) #11533.
• Honor NPM_CONFIG_USERCONFIG (and its lowercase npm_config_userconfig form) as a low-priority fallback when locating the user-level .npmrc. This restores compatibility with environments that point npm at a custom auth file via that env var — most notably actions/setup-node, which writes registry credentials to ${runner.temp}/.npmrc and exports NPM_CONFIG_USERCONFIG to reference it. Without this, GitHub Actions workflows using actions/setup-node to authenticate to private registries broke after upgrading to pnpm v11. PNPM-prefixed env vars and npmrcAuthFile from the global config.yaml continue to take precedence #11539.
• Fix pnpm pack not bundling dependencies listed in bundleDependencies (or bundledDependencies). The npm-packlist upgrade in pnpm 11 changed its API to require the caller to pre-populate the dependency tree, which the wrapper was not doing — bundleDependencies were silently dropped from the tarball #11519.
• Fixed the pnpm CLI crashing with a confusing SyntaxError: Invalid regular expression flags instead of printing a clear "requires Node.js v22.13" error when launched on an unsupported Node.js version. The Node.js version check in bin/pnpm.mjs was effectively dead code because the static import of the bundled dist/pnpm.mjs was hoisted by the ES module loader and parsed before the check could run #11546.
• Fixed pnpm --prefix=<dir> install overwriting the existing pnpm-workspace.yaml in <dir> with set this to true or false placeholders. The renamed --prefix option (which maps to dir) was not honored when locating the workspace root, so the workspace manifest's allowBuilds settings were not loaded into config and got clobbered when ignored builds were auto-populated #11535.
• Fixed pnpm publish --provenance failing with a 422 from the registry when the package version contained semver build metadata (e.g. 1.0.0-canary.0+abc1234). The +<build> segment is now stripped before packing so that the version embedded in the tarball, the metadata sent to the registry, and the sigstore provenance subject all agree #11518.
