Daemon Giving an Error message nx postinstall step when used with pnpm

[ZackDeRose]

Current Behavior

We're seeing Nx in the Tanstack/query project (uses pnpm as it's package manager) that the Nx Daemon is failing inside of ci in the nx postinstall step, due to being unable to parse the pnpm lockfile.

See comment: TanStack/query#5116 (comment)

Expected Behavior

I'm not familiar enough with Nx Daemon's interactions with pnpm or it's lockfiles, but it would seem that we should be able to handle the lack of the lockfile better - and this may be simply an issue with the error message we're giving? I'll look to discuss more with y'all tomorrow!

This is a duplicate of #15642.

The nx postinstall is starting the graph creation which then triggers the pnpm lock file parsing.
The parsing expects the .modules.yaml to exist but that file is not yet there since the installation has not finished yet.
