Just lost a whole night of productivity trying to bump *one* dependency exactly *one* version.

2 hours later I've done at least 3 bisecting operations on 3 different repos, can't get to install the same thing twice, and still haven't got the lockfile updated to the latest version.

This isn't entirely the fault of / pnpm. But I manage dependencies very precisely and deliberately with a reproducible build system using pinned dependencies.

If I'm having this much trouble with it, I don't know how typical web devs can manage at all. I didn't make any meaningful progress on the problem I was *actually* trying to solve. All I have to show for my efforts is a red CI.
