"projectsAffectedByDependencyUpdates": "auto" does not work with pnpm catalogs

[laneysmith]

Current Behavior

To help enforce a single version policy within our monorepo, we use pnpm catalogs for all dependencies that are used in multiple projects. When "projectsAffectedByDependencyUpdates" is set to "auto", updates to pnpm-workspace.yaml catalog versions result in 0 projects being marked as affected.

Expected Behavior

When a default or named catalog version is updated in pnpm-workspace.yaml, all projects that reference that catalog as a dependency in their package.json should be marked as affected.

Steps to Reproduce

In any Nx workspace project that uses catalogs,

1. set "projectsAffectedByDependencyUpdates" to "auto" & commit change
2. update a version for a catalog dependency
3. run pnpm i
4. run nx show projects --affected --uncommitted
