## 🧢 Overview
This PR migrates the AutoGPT Platform frontend from [yarn
1](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/) to [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/)
using **corepack** for automatic package manager management.
**yarn1** is not longer maintained and a bit old, moving to **pnpm** we
get:
- ⚡ Significantly faster install times,
- 💾 Better disk space efficiency,
- 🛠️ Better community support and maintenance,
- 💆🏽♂️ Config swap very easy
