+- **Type**: `string` (an exact version such as `'12.4.0'`)
+- **Default**: inferred from the project when possible
+
+Override the target pnpm version without changing the project's package manager
+pin. Resolution order is explicit `targetVersion`, then `packageManager`, then
+`devEngines.packageManager`. An explicit `compatibility` major must agree with
+`targetVersion`; conflicts fail before any files are written.
+
+```ts
+await migratePnpmSettings() // Infer the target from the project
+await migratePnpmSettings({ compatibility: 'v12' }) // Infer a matching minor
+await migratePnpmSettings({ targetVersion: '12.4.0' }) // Target this exact release
+```
+
+Version ranges are not accepted by `targetVersion`. Project ranges, conflicting
+`devEngines` entries, prereleases, and declarations without a confirmed matching
+version retain the base major schema. Build metadata on exact stable versions
+is accepted. Later stable minors automatically inherit known capabilities;
+there are no minor-specific compatibility options.
+
+For pnpm 12.4.0 and later stable v12 releases, the migrator additionally accepts
+`trustPolicyExcludePrune`, `python`, `cargo`, `pipelines`, `pipelineBase`, and
+`packageConfigs`, plus task fields `outputs`, `inputs`, `env`, `cache`, and
+`cargoTargetDir`. On older or unconfirmed targets, a `tasks` object containing
+these fields stays in its source as a whole.
