Describe the Bug

I have tried the following and the current problem does not occur:

1. node 20.15.0, pnpm 10.12.3
2. node 22.17.0, npm 10.9.2

Similar issue #7330 (comment)

But when I use node 22.17.0, pnpm 10.12.4, a node-compile-cache file will be generated. Too many changes have an impact. My operating system is wsl. I don’t know if it is caused by the compatibility problem of my operating system. Although adding gitinore rules can solve this problem, most upstream open source repositories may not adopt it because macos may not have such a problem. I hope to get your help. Thank you.

Expected Behavior

I hope the cached files are in nodemodules, so I don't need to manually add rules to ignore them.
