Description

I run corepack use to update the packageManager field in my package.json. But, this also triggers pnpm install after updating the package.json.

I went through the code, and it isn't possible to skip the execution of the install script.

If I missed something, please refer me to the solution. Or, if this is not currently possible, will the team be okay with the implementation of a flag, say skip-install, for the use and up commands for this purpose.

Research direction

The relevant entry points are the use and up commands, which update package.json and then invoke the install script. Trace that command flow first; done means a supported skip-install option updates package.json without running pnpm install.
