vpr appears not to preserve the pnpm lifecycle environment, causing npm-run-all2 to fall back to npm

[bling-yshs]

Describe the bug

In a project configured to use pnpm, running a package script through vpr causes npm-run-all2 / run-p to invoke child scripts with npm instead of pnpm.

The same script works correctly when launched with pnpm run.

The project declares pnpm as its package manager. When run-p is launched by pnpm, it correctly uses pnpm for the child scripts. When it is launched by vpr, it falls back to npm, which then fails with EBADDEVENGINES because the project only permits pnpm.

Expected behavior:

• vpr check should preserve enough package-manager lifecycle environment for child process runners to detect pnpm.
• Child scripts should be executed using pnpm, consistently with pnpm run check.

Actual behavior:

• pnpm run check succeeds.
• vpr check causes run-p to invoke npm for the child scripts.
• npm fails because devEngines.packageManager requires pnpm.

This appears to happen because the environment provided by vpr differs from the environment provided by pnpm run, particularly package-manager lifecycle variables such as npm_execpath.

A serial workaround that explicitly invokes pnpm works, but it loses parallel execution. In my project, the parallel command takes 3.94 seconds, while the serial workaround takes 6.35 seconds.

Reproduction

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone the reproduction repository.

2. Install dependencies:

   vp i

3. Run the parallel script directly through pnpm:

   pnpm run check

   All three child scripts complete successfully.

4. Run the same script through Vite+:

   vpr check

5. Observe that npm-run-all2 invokes the child scripts using npm instead of pnpm. npm then exits with EBADDEVENGINES because the project declares pnpm in devEngines.packageManager.
