The pipeline catches up
Advancing the GitHub Actions pnpm setup action to version 6.1.0, bringing native pnpm 12 compatibility to CI workflows.
The continuous integration pipeline updated its GitHub Actions setup step for the package manager, advancing the action from version 6.0.10 to 6.1.0. The update touches three workflow files: the primary test pipeline, the automated release workflow, and the PR word comment check.
# .github/workflows/ci.yml

When the repository completed prior work adopting pnpm 12 deliberately, local development containers and prebuilt end-to-end test images moved to the new major version immediately. Workflow jobs running on bare GitHub-hosted runners, however, rely on an external action to provision the package manager before installing project dependencies. The action release brings official compatibility for version 12 to that setup step.
The change is confined entirely to workflow definitions, with zero application code changes and no modifications to dependencies or lockfiles. Updating the action across all three workflows keeps the continuous integration infrastructure consistent, preventing runner-level version drift as jobs execute across different pipeline stages.
With the workflow action brought forward, package manager installation is now aligned across local devcontainers, containerized browser tests, and bare runner steps.
