Current Behavior

When using pnpm with workspace protocol (workspace:*, workspace:^, etc.), module federation sets requiredVersion to the raw protocol string (e.g., workspace:*) instead of resolving it to the actual semver version from the library's package.json.

This causes issues like:

• requiredVersion: "workspace:*" which is not a valid semver
• Module federation failing to properly share workspace libraries
• Warnings about unable to find required versions

Example of the broken output:

{
  "version": "*",
  "singleton": true,
  "requiredVersion": "^*"
}

Expected Behavior

When a workspace protocol version is detected, it should be resolved to the actual version from the library's package.json:

{
  "version": "2.0.0",
  "singleton": true,
  "requiredVersion": "2.0.0"
}

Changes Made

1. Added helper functions in share.ts:

   • isWorkspaceProtocolVersion() - Detects workspace protocol versions (workspace:*, workspace:^, *, file:)
   • normalizeWorkspaceProtocolVersion() - Resolves protocol versions to actual semver by looking up the library's package.json

2. Applied normalization in shareWorkspaceLibraries():

   • After getting version from getDependencyVersionFromPackageJson, normalize it if it's a workspace protocol
   • Simplified the workspaceLibrariesAsDeps loop by using the helper function (removed duplicated logic)

3. Updated getNpmPackageSharedConfig():

   • Added a check to warn and return undefined when workspace protocol versions are passed
   • Helps users understand that workspace libraries should be configured properly

4. Added comprehensive tests (13 new tests):

   • 6 tests for workspace protocol version normalization in shareWorkspaceLibraries
   • 7 tests for getNpmPackageSharedConfig handling workspace protocol versions
