Layer with dependencies in monorepo goes in postinstall loop #33382
Description

Reproduction
- Layer used in the monorepo: https://github.com/NicolaSpadari/nuxt-demo-layer
- Monorepo: https://github.com/NicolaSpadari/nuxt-demo-monorepo-layer
Describe the bug
I'm building a layer for the Nuxt UI with some customizations, so that i can extend the config as well as its dependencies from any nuxt 4 project.
In a normal Nuxt project works just fine, but when run in a pnpm workspace monorepo, the dependencies installation reaches the prepare step for the layer, which seems like to be detected as another package folder, and keeps triggering the prepare action, resulting in a postinstall loop.
I already tried removing the install: true option for the layer, but that just breaks the project as its dependencies are not found inside by nuxt project.
Manually installing the dependencies would work, but that defies the reason i'm using the layer to encapsulate all the ui configurations and dependencies.
Additional context
This layer configuration works just fine if the project doesn't have a pnpm-workspace file, and the installation in treated as normal folder. The bug only occurs when running inside a workspace
