chore: rebuild bundle after reverting bootstrap pnpm to 11.0.4

The previous version of this test self-updated to pnpm 10.33.0 and expected
pnpm --version to fail under devEngines.onFail=error. But pnpm v10 only reads
the packageManager field, not devEngines, so the check never fired and the
test failed.

Switch the assertion to the contract the af8e203 scope fix actually enforces:
when an explicit version: is supplied, pnpm_config_pm_on_fail must not be
exported by the action. That's deterministic and pnpm-version-agnostic.
