Note

Low Risk
Low risk documentation/CI example updates only; the main risk is CI example workflows breaking if pnpm/action-setup@v6 or pnpm 11 behavior differs on runners.

Overview
Updates the pnpm-based example GitHub workflows and the README snippet to use pnpm/action-setup@v6 and install pnpm v11 (was v10 / action-setup@v5). This keeps the project’s pnpm guidance aligned with the current pnpm latest release and the updated setup action.
