Reproduction steps

• Install better-sqlite3 with pnpm@9
• Upgrade pnpm from 9 to 10.2.0
• Run pnpm approve-builds

Describe the Bug

Locally pnpm prints when running pnpm approve-builds:

There are no packages awaiting approval

However on CI I see:

Ignored build scripts: @swc/core, better-sqlite3. Run "pnpm approve-builds" to pick which dependencies should be allowed to run scripts.

This causes CI fails to build while it works locally.

Expected Behavior

The local environment and the CI environment behavior should be consistent.
