Versions above `v0.25.0` glitches on Node v18.17.1

I have this in my package.json: "packageManager": "pnpm@7.32.5".

I originally have corepack v0.22.0 (or v0.23.0 which I don't recall and doesn't matter) and it worked fine. After upgrading to v0.25.2 (then tested v0.25.0), I got this warning at first:

❯ npm i -g corepack@0.25.0
npm WARN EBADENGINE Unsupported engine {
npm WARN EBADENGINE   package: 'corepack@0.25.0',
npm WARN EBADENGINE   required: { node: '^18.17.1 | >=20.10.0' },
npm WARN EBADENGINE   current: { node: 'v18.17.1', npm: '10.4.0' }
npm WARN EBADENGINE }

changed 1 package in 689ms

❯ corepack -v
0.25.0

Then when I run my project commands:

❯ nr start:weapp
Corepack is about to download https://registry.npmjs.org/pnpm/-/pnpm-7.32.5.tgz.

I had to downgrade corepack to v0.24.1 which works fine. How can I fix this? Much thanks!

Reproduce the failure with Node v18.17.1, Corepack v0.25.0, and pnpm 7.32.5, then inspect the fetch and installVersion paths in corepack.cjs, especially Engine.ensurePackageManager. Compare the behavior with Corepack v0.24.1; done means the reported package-manager command works on the newer version and the regression is covered by a test.
