Research direction

Start with the action-setup@v6 entry point and reproduce the linked GitHub Actions run, then compare the requested version, 10, with the installed version reported by pnpm --version. Trace how the action passes its version input to the installer. Done means requesting version 10 installs and reports pnpm 10 rather than v11.
