PnpmOptionsConfiguration.globalNeverBuiltDependencies property

The globalNeverBuiltDependencies setting suppresses the preinstall, install, and postinstall lifecycle events for the specified NPM dependencies. This is useful for scripts with poor practices such as downloading large binaries without retries or attempting to invoke OS tools such as a C++ compiler. (PNPM's terminology refers to these lifecycle events as "building" a package; it has nothing to do with build system operations such as rush build or rushx build.) The settings are copied into the pnpm.neverBuiltDependencies field of the common/temp/package.json file that is generated by Rush during installation.
