[rush] Rush adds `globalOnlyBuiltDependencies` to my pnpm-config and then subsequently complains about it

Assessment

Research direction

Description

Summary

Rush prompts me to run rush-pnpm --subspace default approve-builds, which adds globalOnlyBuiltDependencies to my pnpm-config file. When I subsequently open that file in vscode, I get a warning on that property: Property globalOnlyBuiltDependencies is not allowed.

It seems that maybe the schema file (https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/rush/v5/pnpm-config.schema.json) hasn't been updated?

Repro steps

1. Upgrade to Rush 5.169.3 and pnpm 10.30.3
2. Run rush update
3. Run rush-pnpm --subspace default approve-builds and approve all of the dependencies
4. Open common/config/rush/pnpm-config.json in vscode
