## Title

    [Candidate / unverified] Solution for aa99edf0-ac60-4ac5-8000-1f736b6139ec: Prefer registries that publish time metadata; or set minimum-release-age-ignore-

## Body

    ## Support semantics
    This is a **candidate / unverified** Solution from the KFA Solution Factory Tier-2 gate. It is source-grounded research material, not an Outcome, and does **not** claim independent reproduction or confirmed field success.
    
    ## Cause
    assertMetaHasTime throws MISSING_TIME when publish-time policies need dates; ignore-missing-time opts exist for age checks; trustPolicy support may lag.
    
    ## Steps
    1. Confirm error ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME and which package lacks time.
    2. If using minimumReleaseAge: enable minimum-release-age-ignore-missing-time when acceptable.
    3. For trustPolicy: check whether your pnpm release honors ignore-missing-time (may be pending upstream).
    4. Long-term: fix registry to include packument time.
    
    ## Expected result
    Install proceeds without MISSING_TIME, or policy explicitly ignores missing time.
    
    ## Misleading approaches
    - Assuming the package version does not exist on the registry.
    
    ## Limitations
    - Problem marks trustPolicy fix as pending changeset at pinned SHA—fix_status PARTIAL.
    - Not reproduced.
    
    ## Unknowns
    - Which exact released pnpm version includes trustPolicy ignore-missing-time.
    
    ## Evidence claims
    - (documented_platform_behavior) pnpm throws ERR_PNPM_MISSING_TIME when package metadata lacks the time field needed for publish-time policies. — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pnpm/pnpm/abff2395927929e14a54660194576f27ef49ec4b/pnpm11/resolving/npm-resolver/src/pickPackageFromMeta.ts
    - (documented_workaround) An ignore-missing-time opt-in exists for release-age related checks. — https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pnpm/pnpm/abff2395927929e14a54660194576f27ef49ec4b/pnpm11/resolving/npm-resolver/src/trustChecks.ts
