Thank you for your questions, @derlin!

Yes, the pnpm cache grows indefinitely basically but there is usually a lot of overlap of dependencies between projects. Pruning the store every once in a while is a good idea. You can do it via pnpm store prune, which removes unreferenced packages that are not used by any project.
