Enable Corepack and specify package manager version

Feature description

This is not a public exposed feature request just an internal one.
I cloned the repo and installed yarn (because this repo uses it), but the issue was that my installed yarn was 4.3.1 and here it is probably ^1 something. I am not sure which one to use and don't really have a way to know besides guessing.

To allow easier suggest contributors enable corepack and specify which package manager version should be used inside package.json. This will not affect consumers of the library just the contributors.

My other suggestion would be to also switch to pnpm because in my opinion it seems bit better and more stable, but I digress.

Hi @minht11 , thanks for pointing this out. Looks like I am a bit behind, I did an attempt to upgrade the yarn (#2051), and was not directly successful. Are you interested created a PR?

[minht11]

Sure. I am not that familiar with Yarn or Github Actions but I would be willing to try.
I saw in CI logs that the error is because of missing chai package.

Would you be interested in me migrating this repo from chai/mocha to native node test runner? Node 18/20 support it and API is almost identical so it should make yarn version migration easier (if you still want to use yarn wink pnpm).

It weird if the such a dependency no longer works.

I have experience with node test runner. What I find very important is that my IntelliJ IDEA understand the unit test, and I can easily execute or debug a single test. We can try, do you mind to try the testrunner here: https://github.com/Borewit/peek-readable/blob/master/test/test.ts, as that is much less work to migrate. Or pick one of my other projects, if you prefer. They all have a very similar setup.

Sure will open PR there, to test things out there.
