RFC — Upgrade pnpm 9.15.3 → 10/11 (qontak-customer-fe)

Bucket item: A12 · Class: 🟡 Standard · Jira Story: pending mint (Task: TF-3556) · Epic: TF-3500

Source: Qontak_Stack_Analysis_Repository_Detail_July_2026, qontak-customer-fe tab, row 8.

Context / Problem​

qontak-customer-fe currently pins pnpm 9.15.3 via corepack prepare (Dockerfile:9). pnpm 9's support status is Approaching end of support; the current major is pnpm 11.x.

Proposed change​

Upgrade the pinned pnpm version to 10.x or 11.x during a maintenance window. pnpm 11 requires Node ≥22, already satisfied by the production build image (node:22-alpine).

Execution plan (call to action)​

  1. Bump the corepack prepare pin in Dockerfile:9 to the target pnpm version (10.x or 11.x).
  2. Regenerate/verify the lockfile format against the new pnpm major; resolve any format warnings.
  3. Run pnpm install, pnpm build, pnpm test locally and in CI against the bumped version.
  4. Land during a maintenance window to isolate any CI breakage from unrelated feature changes.

Risks & rollback​

  • Risk: low-medium — lockfile format changes between pnpm majors can produce large diffs or resolution differences; CI must be green before merge.
  • Rollback: revert the Dockerfile pin + any lockfile regeneration commit.

Open questions​

  1. pnpm 10 or straight to 11? (11 is current major; 10 is a smaller step if 11 has surprises.)
  2. Any CI runner image pinned to an older Node that would need bumping alongside this?
