Supply-chain policy flags
Added in: v12.3.0
pnpm remove accepts the same policy overrides as pnpm install and pnpm add: --trust-lockfile, --no-trust-lockfile, --trust-policy, --trust-policy-exclude, and --trust-policy-ignore-after.
Removing a package rewrites the lockfile, so pnpm remove verifies the whole lockfile against the active policies the way pnpm install does, not only the entries of the package being removed. --trust-lockfile skips that pass entirely.
