Was hoping the ability to change the executable would help, but pnpm uses a --format flag instead of the --parsable flag that UnigetUI calls with, which means I still don't see any updates for my JS packages 😔

the problem with this is that the "Node" ecosystem is very fragmented.
already 4 major package managers (including NPM), + you can also now handle package updates with runtimes (Deno and Bun)

I see no easy way to fix this beyond a rewrite of the npm code to have effectively four subpackage managers that it uses to craft arguments and such.
