Install Command Runs For Entire Workspace

When you run pnpm install in a monorepo, it will run from the context of the workspace root. That means it will install dependencies for your entire monorepo across apps and packages.

Even if you are in a subdirectory for a specific project with its own package.json, running pnpm install will install dependencies for the entire workspace.

If you want to install dependencies only for a specific project or a subset of projects, you can use the --filter flag.
