Description
I just upgraded to node 25 and the good news comes to me.
Corepack is no more bundled inside nodejs.
After some research I found that I have to do:
npm install -g corepack // extra
corepack enable // as usual
corepack use yarn@stable // as usual
the corepack use yarn@stable will work but then if I do:
yarn install
I get:
node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1422
throw err;

Research direction
Reproduce the reported flow on Windows with Node.js 25: install Corepack globally, run corepack enable and corepack use yarn@stable, then run yarn install. Trace how the enabled Yarn launcher resolves Corepack's installation path, and consider the issue done when yarn install no longer requests the missing dist/yarn.js module.
