April 2026 monthly summary for trpc/trpc: Strengthened monorepo reliability by making versioning and dependency pinning robust across private workspaces. Removed redundant local 'version' fields and updated the versioning script to pin dependencies from the repository version when local packaging data is unavailable. This reduces drift, simplifies maintenance, and improves CI/build stability.
