@pnpm/find-workspace-dir efficiently locates the root directory of a monorepo workspace. It traverses upwards from a given starting path, searching for a pnpm-workspace.yaml, workspace.yaml, or a package.json with a workspaces field, signaling the workspace root. This utility is crucial for tools needing to understand project structures within a monorepo, ensuring operations are performed from the correct context, like resolving local dependencies. It returns the absolute path to the workspace directory or undefined if no workspace is found.
