warning suggests to run approve-builds, but there are no packages awaiting approvals

[fernan]

Describe the bug

Upon initializing a fresh slidev project with pnpm, a warning is issued regarding

1. an ignored build script (esbuild), and
2. a suggestion to run pnpm approve-builds to "pick which dependencies should be allowed to run scripts".

However, upon running the suggested command, the message is: "There are no packages awaiting approval".

Minimal reproduction

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Run pnpm create slidev
2. Watch the warning appear
3. Run pnpm approve-builds
4. See the message
5. Keep asking yourself it there is something broken in the installation or how should we approve esbuild so that it is no longer ignored.

Environment

• Slidev version: v52.0.0
• Browser: Chrome
• OS: Linux WSL2; Ubuntu-24.04.2 LTS
• Node: v24.4.0
• pnpm: v10.13.1

If you are using Slidev globally (i.e. npx slidev or npm i -g slidev), please try to reproduce the issue in a local project (i.e. npm create slidev@latest).
