due to issues and redundancies in vendoring postinstall side-effects, such as compiled bindings for libvirt, we reverted to vendoring `node_modules`, installed via `npm` instead of a global pnpm store generated by `pnpm`.
This should resolve runtime issues with e.g. the libvirt bindings because `node_modules` will contain the correct "side-effects."
