`NETLIFY_USE_PNPM: true` environment var not working after v4.15.0

[itsmnthn]

Is your build failing?

Create pnpm monorepo/workspaces with multiple packages/* individual package doesn't have pnpm-lock.yaml file but root dir does

Describe the bug

Despite of having pnpm-lock.yaml file and NETLIFY_USER_PNPM: true it uses npm to install dependencies

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Fork the repository at <repo-link>
2. Create a Netlify site and link it to the forked repository
3. See that the Netlify build fails

Configuration

[build]
  base = "./"
  publish = "dist/"
  command = "pnpm build"
  framework = "nuxt3"

[context.production]
  publish = "dist/"
  command = "pnpm build"
  # environment = { }

[build.processing]
  skip_processing = true

[dev]
  framework = "nuxt3"

Expected behavior

It is expected to use pnpm for installation of the dependencies

@itsmnthn thanks for raising this issue! Can you maybe provide a link to the failed deploy so that we can trouble shoot this better?
