Description

Describe the bug

If somebody(like me) doesn't have yarn installed globally.

For packages/wxt those 2 tests doesn't pass:

To fix it, i need to install yarn globally (Only sad reaction)

To make better DX, we can place yarn as a devDeps inside this package. But the big problem is:

And it seems not supported anymore: Latest version have over 2 years: https://www.npmjs.com/package/yarn

There's no move in repo: https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/commits/master/

I think good idea is to get rid of this package and those tests.

PS: OKK yarn drops support for version 1 and changed repo: https://github.com/yarnpkg/berry/releases

IT'S berry right now???

Used Package Manager

Research direction
Examine the test files in packages/wxt that fail without global yarn. Determine if yarn is used as a package manager in the test setup. Consider installing yarn as a devDependency or migrating to yarn berry. Review the repository's contributing guidelines for testing instructions. Check if there are any existing discussions on this issue. Propose a fix that either removes the dependency or updates the tests to work without global yarn.
