@VShingala ... why would we even need to touch yarn.lock in the first place?
AI says:
touch yarn.lock updates the file’s modification timestamp without changing its contents.
Old versions of Yarn (especially v2+ “Berry”) used mtime checks to decide whether to regenerate the .pnp.cjs file or re-link workspace dependencies.
If the yarn.lock looked older than .pnp.cjs or the cache, Yarn might skip re-processing it.
So, “touching” it ensures Yarn thinks “lockfile just changed — better re-resolve workspace deps.”
Don't think this is still relevant.
