pnpm@11 defaults prevent updating Cypress directly after release

[MikeMcC399]

Situation

pnpm@11.0.0 introduced a breaking change of setting the configuration parameter minimumReleaseAge to 1440 minutes (1 day).

Attempting to install cypress@latest immediately after a release, falls back to installing a previous version that satisfies the requirements minimumReleaseAge. This is a disadvantage when running the npm script update:cypress to update Cypress to the latest version for each package manager (npm, pnpm, Yarn v1 & Yarn Modern), as it leaves the pnpm examples lagging behind.

Note: this does not affect updates carried out by Renovate.

Suggestion

Configure the pnpm examples with minimumReleaseAgeExclude for cypress:

• examples/basic-pnpm
• examples/start-and-pnpm-workspaces

Increase minimumReleaseAge to 4320 minutes (3 days)

• Thank you! I was now able to submit test: exclude cypress from pnpm minimum age checks #1764 to resolve this issue.
