Ubbe 73a3d980ca chore(frontend): move from yarn1 to pnpm (#10072)
## 🧢 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

##  🏗️ Changes

### Package Management Migration

- updated [corepack](https://github.com/nodejs/corepack) to use
[pnpm](https://pnpm.io/)
- Deleted `yarn.lock` and generated new `pnpm-lock.yaml`
- Updated `.gitignore`

### Documentation Updates

- `frontend/README.md`: 
  - added comprehensive tech stack overview with links
  - updated all commands to use pnpm
  - added corepack setup instructions
  - and included migration disclaimer for yarn users
- `backend/README.md`: 
  - Updated installation instructions to use pnpm with corepack
- `AGENTS.md`: 
  - Updated testing commands from yarn to pnpm

### CI/CD & Infrastructure

- **GitHub Workflows** : 
  - updated all jobs to use pnpm with corepack enable
  - cleaned FE Playwright test workflow to avoid Sentry noise
- **Dockerfile**:
- updated to use pnpm with corepack, changed lock file reference, and
updated cache mount path

This is the frontend for AutoGPT's next generation

🧢 Getting Started

This project uses pnpm as the package manager via corepack. Corepack is a Node.js tool that automatically manages package managers without requiring global installations.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Node.js 16.10+ installed. Corepack is included with Node.js by default.

⚠️ Migrating from yarn

This project was previously using yarn1, make sure to clean up the old files if you set it up previously with yarn:

rm -f yarn.lock && rm -rf node_modules

Then follow the setup steps below.

Setup

  1. Enable corepack (run this once on your system):

    corepack enable
    

    This enables corepack to automatically manage pnpm based on the packageManager field in package.json.

  2. Install dependencies:

    pnpm i
    
  3. Start the development server:

    pnpm dev
    

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

Subsequent Runs

For subsequent development sessions, you only need to run:

pnpm dev

Every time a new Front-end dependency is added by you or others, you will need to run pnpm i to install the new dependencies.

Available Scripts

  • pnpm dev - Start development server
  • pnpm build - Build for production
  • pnpm start - Start production server
  • pnpm lint - Run ESLint and Prettier checks
  • pnpm format - Format code with Prettier
  • pnpm type-check - Run TypeScript type checking
  • pnpm test - Run Playwright tests
  • pnpm test-ui - Run Playwright tests with UI

This project uses next/font to automatically optimize and load Inter, a custom Google Font.

📙 Storybook

Storybook is a powerful development environment for UI components. It allows you to build UI components in isolation, making it easier to develop, test, and document your components independently from your main application.

Purpose in the Development Process

  1. Component Development: Develop and test UI components in isolation.
  2. Visual Testing: Easily spot visual regressions.
  3. Documentation: Automatically document components and their props.
  4. Collaboration: Share components with your team or stakeholders for feedback.

How to Use Storybook

  1. Start Storybook: Run the following command to start the Storybook development server:

    pnpm storybook
    

    This will start Storybook on port 6006. Open http://localhost:6006 in your browser to view your component library.

  2. Build Storybook: To build a static version of Storybook for deployment, use:

    pnpm build-storybook
    
  3. Running Storybook Tests: Storybook tests can be run using:

    pnpm test-storybook
    

    For CI environments, use:

    pnpm test-storybook:ci
    
  4. Writing Stories: Create .stories.tsx files alongside your components to define different states and variations of your components.

By integrating Storybook into our development workflow, we can streamline UI development, improve component reusability, and maintain a consistent design system across the project.
