fix: update pnpm to 11.0.0-rc.5

test: add strict version-match jobs to reproduce #225 / #227
The existing version tests only check output format via regex, which is why the PATH-shadowing bug (#230) slipped through — the bootstrap pnpm's version string matched the regex just as well as the requested version. - test_version_respects_request: runs the action with `version: 9.15.5` and `version: 10.33.0` (both differ from the bootstrap) and asserts that `pnpm --version` matches exactly. Regression test for #225/#230. - test_package_manager_field: writes a `packageManager: pnpm@<v>` entry into package.json, runs the action with no `version:` input, and asserts exact match. Reproduces #227; currently expected to fail since `packageManager` extraction was intentionally not added.
