## The Hook

pnpm shares a content-addressable store across monorepo installs.

## What's Good

MIT. Strict layout, content-addressable store, workspaces. Disk-cheap vs classic npm.

## The Catch

Vs Bun: Node pkg manager lane (content-addressable/monorepo); not install+runtime. Not a JS runtime or test runner.

## Verdict

MIT Node pkg manager. Free forever; Bun is a different lane.
