ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH error during project init

[kagorski]

Describe the bug

I'm trying to initialise project saas-boilerplate by running npm init saas-boilerplate myapp which gives me an error:

ERR_PNPM_LOCKFILE_CONFIG_MISMATCH  Cannot proceed with the frozen installation. The current "patchedDependencies" configuration doesn't match the value found in the lockfile

A similar issue occurs once I run init commands via pnpm and yarn

Steps to reproduce

1. mkdir myapp
2. npm init saas-boilerplate myapp

All you have to do is downgrade pnpm to <10. The pnpm-lock.yaml is version 9
