Research direction

Trace the rush-pnpm update command and its handling of pnpm-config.json, comparing it with how native pnpm updates catalogs in pnpm-workspaces.yaml and package.json files. Start by locating the command entry point and existing update tests, then verify that catalog changes are written to pnpm-config.json and that the command no longer passes without updating anything.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

The native pnpm update updates any catalogs defined in the pnpm-workspaces.yaml file with whatever changes it would have otherwise made to the package.json files.

With catalogs now living in pnpm-config.json for Rush monorepos, it'd be nice to have the rush-pnpm update behaviour update that location instead.

Currently, when you run the command, it passes but nothing is updated.
