I'm trying to use pnpm v11 in my Node.js monorepo (iases3backend), but Railpack keeps installing pnpm 9.15.9 regardless of configuration. Tried: - .railpackrc.toml with pnpm = "11.22.0" — ignored - devEngines.packageManager in package.json with ">=11.0.0" — ignored Build logs show "railpack default (9)" or "could not detect pnpm lockfile version" Environment: - Node 22.23.2 - Railpack v0.36.4 - Local pnpm: 11.22.0 Question: Does Railpack v0.36.4 support pnpm v11.22.0?

Railpack not respecting pnpm version configuration (devEngines.packageManager and .railpackrc.toml)

Did you set a RAILPACK_CONFIG_FILE in your service to .railpackrc.toml?

(Also, I don't think Railpack supports .toml configuration files...? Only .json... https://railpack.com/config/file)

Thank for the suggestions.

I has hoping to avoid pinning pnpm to a specific version, but it works now after adding the following to package.json...

"packageManager": "pnpm@11.19.0"
