With the recent increase in supply-chain attacks, most of which rely on post-install script execution, pnpm is the safer (and faster) alternative to npm.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Updated setup and development instructions to use pnpm commands.
    • Added guidance for consistent dependency installation and project scripts.
  • Chores

    • Standardized local development and automated checks on pnpm.
    • Pinned the project to pnpm 11.24.0 for consistent tooling.
    • Improved workspace setup for reliable build and development commands.
    • Pinned the Pagefind tool version to make site search generation more predictable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The project switches dependency installation and development commands from npm to pnpm. It pins pnpm 11.24.0, configures workspace linking, updates the development container and CI workflow, changes Pagefind execution, and revises README instructions.

Changes

pnpm migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Package manager configuration
package.json, pnpm-workspace.yaml
The project pins pnpm 11.24.0, adds Pagefind version 1.5.2, disables the hugo-extended build script, and enables hoisted linking.
Runtime installation and scripts
.devcontainers/devcontainer.json, package.json
The development container uses pnpm install. Development scripts use pnpm for command chaining and Pagefind execution.
CI and documentation
.github/workflows/test.yml, README.md
CI sets up pnpm and uses pnpm install --frozen-lockfile and pnpm exec. README requirements, commands, and script examples use pnpm.

Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.

- CI still ran `npm ci` gated on package-lock.json, which the migration
  deleted, so no dependencies were installed and Hugo failed with
  "binary with name postcss not found in PATH". Install pnpm and run
  `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile`; use `pnpm dlx` for pagefind.
- `dev` and the tail of `dev:start:with-pagefind` invoked `dev:start` as
  a shell command, and `pnpm pagefind` is not a command.
- pnpm's isolated linker writes a /bin/sh shim to node_modules/.bin/postcss,
  which Hugo's css.PostCSS rejects. Set nodeLinker: hoisted.
- Restore the subsite/docs submodule pointer; it had been moved back to an
  older commit.
- Regenerate pnpm-lock.yaml, which resolved older versions than the npm
  lockfile it replaced.

In @.devcontainers/devcontainer.json:
- Line 36: Move postCreateCommand and forwardPorts out of the customizations
object into the root Dev Container configuration, closing customizations before
those properties while preserving their existing values.
- Line 36: Add the missing Dockerfile referenced by the devcontainer
configuration, and configure it to install or otherwise provide pnpm before the
postCreateCommand runs pnpm install. Ensure the resulting container build
completes successfully using the existing devcontainer setup.

In @.github/workflows/test.yml:
- Around line 43-46: Add an explicit actions/setup-node step before the pnpm
setup and dependency installation steps, configuring Node.js 22 or newer so the
pnpm install command uses a guaranteed compatible runtime; leave the existing
pnpm/action-setup and frozen-lockfile installation behavior unchanged.

In `@package.json`:
- Line 11: Pin Pagefind as a project dependency, update the lockfile
accordingly, and replace both Pagefind invocations in
package.json:dev:start:with-pagefind and .github/workflows/test.yml with pnpm
exec pagefind; do not add an allowBuilds entry.

Apply the same fix in `@package.json` at line 11.

Apply the same fix in @.github/workflows/test.yml at line 57: The CI Pagefind
invocation requires the same locked workspace executable.

Comment thread package.json Outdated
`pnpm dlx pagefind` fetched an unpinned Pagefind at build time, outside
the lockfile. Pin it as a devDependency and invoke it with `pnpm exec`
in both the dev script and CI. Pagefind ships platform binaries as
optional dependencies and has no install script, so it needs no
allowBuilds entry.

In devcontainer.json, forwardPorts, postCreateCommand and remoteUser
were nested inside `customizations` and so were never read. Move them
to the root object.
