Research direction

Start by locating the inspector hints UI and the backend entry point corresponding to the proposed /api/dedupe route. Read nypm's dedupeDependencies options and verify the behavior in non-static, non-WebContainer mode. Done means an available UI action triggers dependency deduplication without appearing in unsupported modes.

Clear and concise description of the problem

Currently inspector hints for pnpm dedupe

Image

I think with https://github.com/unjs/nypm?tab=readme-ov-file#dedupedependenciesoptions we can add a button to dedupe via backend. (only if not built static or not webcontainer)

Suggested solution

use nypm to trigger dedupe, if possible.

POC:
server:

import process from "node:process";
import {dedupeDependencies} from "nypm";


export default defineEventHandler(async () => {
    await dedupeDependencies({cwd: process.cwd()})
})

frontend:

// if not built or webcontainer
$fetch('/api/dedupe' )
