On NPM v12.4.2 is tagged as latest.

This should be fixed since v3.1.0 by #72. The action now installs the pnpm version locked in
pnpm-lock.yamlwhen the manifest's range allows it, and runs its version check with--config.pm-on-fail=ignore, so pnpm no longer switches to another version during the check. If you still see this on the latest v3, please reopen with yourpackage.jsonpackageManager/devEnginessettings and the action inputs.— Claude Code (Claude Opus 5.5), on behalf of @zkochan
