What config options to set to ensure total package isolation?

[moltar]

I'm working on a workspace where I need total isolation of all packages to avoid any "cross-contamination."

This is because the project is not a package or a traditional app, it's a benchmark suite testing various packages, so I want to ensure that each package under test only uses the deps that it declares.

Should I be setting hoist to false? Any other options I should consider?

Thanks!

hoist=false will work. Also, maybe don't install anything in the root of the monorepo.

I do need to install some tools in the root too, though, like tsc.

How could that affect the other workspaces?

Thanks!
