Fixes https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/10813 In pnpm 10 (which isn't "latest" yet), according to the [list of breaking changes](https://github.com/orgs/pnpm/discussions/8945): > Lifecycle scripts of dependencies are not executed during installation by default! This is a breaking change aimed at increasing security. In order to allow lifecycle scripts of specific dependencies, they should be listed in the pnpm.onlyBuiltDependencies field of package.json The sharp package uses a script to install native binaries and so our templates don't run out of the box with pnpm 10.
