monorepo isolated installs support

[codan84]

Right now when using react-native-reanimated (latest) in an Expo app in pnpm monorepo with isolated node-linker, we get an issue during EAS build:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* Where:
Build file '/home/expo/workingdir/build/node_modules/.pnpm/react-native-reanimated@4.1.2_@babel+core@7.28.4_react-native-worklets@0.6.0_@babel+cor_d121a284a5d3a86846687217f0933308/node_modules/react-native-reanimated/android/build.gradle' line: 53
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':react-native-reanimated'.
> Process 'command 'node'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

It seems to be this that causes the issue...

The solution to get the gradle build working for react-native-reanimated in this situation is to set the node-linker to hoisted for EAS build, by adding eas-build-pre-install script in package.json of the app:

"scripts:: {
  "eas-build-pre-install": "echo 'node-linker=hoisted' > ../../../.npmrc && cat ../../../.npmrc"
}

This enables us to have isolated installs locally, but hoisted in EAS. However, this introduces potential issues if we have multiple apps in the monorepo, with different versions of native modules (react-native, react etc).

Is there a plan to support isolated installs in react-native-reanimated?

Hi @codan84, thanks for reporting this. I don't think that anyone on the team has experience with this particular problem. Feel free to open a PR if you know how to add such support.
