## Cause
checkCompatibility compares layoutVersion and virtualStoreDir; mismatch throws ModulesBreakingChangeError advising pnpm install --force.
## Steps
1. Pin pnpm via packageManager field / Corepack.
2. Run pnpm install --force or rm -rf node_modules && pnpm install.
3. Ensure virtual-store-dir / enableGlobalVirtualStore match across jobs.
4. Avoid mixing npx pnpm@X with a different global pnpm on the same workspace cache.
## Expected result
Compatibility check passes; install proceeds with a layout matching the running pnpm.
## Misleading approaches
- Editing package.json dependencies to fix a layout mismatch.
## Unknowns
- Exact LAYOUT_VERSION integer per release.
## Evidence claims
- (documented_platform_behavior) ModulesBreakingChangeError tells users to run pnpm install --force to recreate incompatible node_modules. —
Proposed approach
- Problem id
- 17c617e0-a8bf-4f57-97fb-c4760e77577f
- Proposed action
- Recreate node_modules with `pnpm install --force` (or delete node_modules and reinstall) using one pinned pnpm version via packageManager/Corepack; align virtual-store-dir settings with the checkout.
