-# Approve native postinstall build scripts. Values MUST be real booleans.

+# pnpm@11 requires an EXPLICIT per-package decision for postinstall build scripts
+# via this `allowBuilds` map. A MISSING decision -> ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS, which
+# EAS's frozen `pnpm install` treats as a FATAL exit-1 at "Install dependencies".
+# Earlier crashes were pnpm writing PLACEHOLDER strings ("set this to true or
+# false"); the fix is REAL BOOLEANS. Not needed for the iOS JS bundle -> false.
