npmMinimalAgeGate does not appear to be a recognized Yarn configuration option for the pinned Yarn version (yarnPath: .yarn/releases/yarn-3.4.1.cjs). I couldn’t find the setting name in that Yarn release bundle, and Yarn 3.x typically fails with “Unrecognized configuration setting” for unknown keys, which would break installs/CI. Consider either upgrading Yarn to a version that supports this setting (and updating yarnPath accordingly) or using an alternative approach (e.g., registry proxy/mirroring) that’s compatible with Yarn 3.4.1.

- Line 10: The .yarnrc.yml contains the unsupported key "npmMinimalAgeGate"
which breaks Yarn 3.4.1 CI; remove the "npmMinimalAgeGate: 1440" entry to

npmMinimalAgeGate is incompatible with Yarn 3.4.1 and is breaking CI.
This config key is not supported until Yarn 4.10.0. Line 10 introduces an unrecognized setting that causes yarn config and yarn install to hard-fail with Yarn 3.4.1 (Line 12).
Unblock immediately by removing this line, or upgrade yarnPath to Yarn 4.10.0 or later and re-add the key.
