Hi @Deuscx, thanks for reporting and sorry for the delay in responding! I believe what you're seeing is Volta's pinning of Node versions for package binaries. At the moment, proper pnpm support with a global and local version is experimental, and needs to be enabled via an environment variable: https://docs.volta.sh/advanced/pnpm

Prior to the experimental support being added (and still while it's not enabled), pnpm was treated like any other global package, rather than special-cased as a package manager the way we handle yarn and npm. We're looking into the remaining pieces needed to enable pnpm fully, at which point it should work much better.
