Linked package - React peer dependency issue

[jugglingcats]

I am trying to debug an issue integrating one of our React lib projects into a new create-react-app project. To do this I'm using pnpm link from the CRA project to the lib so I can hack on it and find the issue without having to publish to npm. The linking causes an issue because the lib pulls in a duplicate copy of React (they are the same version) and this causes the dreaded rules of hooks error.

I tried to work around it using a .pnpmfile.cjs to knock out the peer dependency of the lib project, but it seems the readPackage hook is not called for linked packages. Perhaps this is by design.

Any help appreciated.
