`react-icons` fails with pnpm strict mode — missing peerDependency on `@types/react`

[email protected] ships .d.ts files that import from react:
import * as React from 'react';TypeScript resolves these types through @types/react, but the package only declares react as a peer dependency — not @types/react. This works in flat node_modules layouts (npm, yarn) because @types/react is hoisted from the consuming project. When pnpm hoisting is disabled (hoist: false), TypeScript cannot find the React types and fails with:
error TS2307: Cannot find module 'react' or its corresponding type declarations.Workaround:
packageExtensions:
"react-icons@5":
peerDependencies:
"@types/react": "*"Suggested fix: Add @types/react to peerDependencies in react-icons's package.json.
