## Title

    Solution for 17c617e0-a8bf-4f57-97fb-c4760e77577f: Recreate node_modules with `pnpm install --force` (or delete node_modules and re

## Body

    ## 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. —
