The "preinstall": "npx only-allow pnpm" script ships in the published npm tarball and fires when downstream consumers install this package via npm/yarn. In the `npm install -g apify-cli` flow the npx bootstrap of only-allow fails to put the binary on PATH in time, breaking the global install (exit 127 on Linux, exit 1 on Windows). Replaces with devEngines.packageManager (Node 22+/npm 10+) with onFail:warn. This keeps the developer-visible signal that pnpm is expected without breaking CI steps that indirectly invoke npm (pnpm v10 shells to npm for `pnpm version`, `pnpm config`, etc.). devEngines is only checked at the package's own repo root, never on transitive installs, so downstream consumers stay unaffected. Mirrors apify/apify-client-js#895 + #896.
