No response

Reproduction steps

1. Create a pnpm workspace with 2 workspaces.
2. Have manage-package-manager-versions=true in .npmrc at root level
3. Have packageManager="pnpm@9.1.0" in root level's package.json
4. pnpm --version → 9.1.0
5. cd workspaceA
6. pnpm --version → not 9.1.0

Describe the Bug

the pnpm version of a workspace is not matching the one defined in the root level of the monorepo

Expected Behavior

pnpm version should remain the same as the monorepo root one unless explicitly redefined in each workspace.

Additional Notes

if it's not a bug, it could be a feature flag such as workspace-inherit-package-manager-version 🙏
