Pull request overview
Adds a pnpm workspace-level safeguard to reduce exposure to newly published (potentially malicious) packages by enforcing a minimum package release age during installs.
Changes:
- Normalizes the workspace package list formatting in
pnpm-workspace.yaml. - Adds
minimumReleaseAge: 4320(72 hours) to delay installing very recently published packages.

What
Adds a minimum-release-age guard for npm/pnpm so this repo will not install
packages newer than 4320 minutes (72h / 3 days) old at install time.
pnpmpnpm-workspace.yaml4320minutes (72 hours / 3 days)Why
Recent npm supply-chain attacks (malicious versions of
chalk,debug,color-name, theShai-Huludself-propagating worm, etc.) were typicallycaught and yanked within hours of publish. Holding new versions for 72 hours
(3 days) before installing them dramatically reduces exposure to 0-day
malicious publishes without meaningfully slowing day-to-day development.
