Description

There is a bug that only happens inside corepack. It is reproducible with stable release of pnpm, but I can't debug them. I need to debug the pnpm codebase as if it was running inside corepack. The pnpm codebase provide a special command named pd to help developer.

Research direction

The issue mentions the Corepack repository, the pnpm codebase, and pnpm's pd command, but names no files or tests. Start by locating the existing Corepack and pnpm debugging documentation or entry points; done should be a documented, reproducible way to debug pnpm as if it were running inside Corepack.
