Link to the code that reproduces this issue or a replay of the bug

No repository needed — this reproduces on any Termux (Android) installation by running pnpx prettier --version after installing pnpm@12.4.0.

Reproduction steps

1. On an Android device, install Termux.
2. Install Node.js: pkg install nodejs-lts
3. Install pnpm 12.4.0 globally via npm: npm i -g pnpm@12.4.0
4. Run: pnpx prettier --version
5. Observe the failure while pnpm tries to import a package from the store into the dlx cache.

Describe the Bug

After pnpm 12.4.0 added Android binaries (fixing the original "no prebuilt binary for android" error from #14679), running any pnpx/dlx command now fails with a permission error while pnpm tries to link/import a package from the content-addressable store into the dlx cache directory.

Example output:

~ $ npm i -g pnpm@12.4.0

added 2 packages in 22s
npm warn install-scripts 1 package has install scripts not yet covered by allowScripts:
npm warn install-scripts   pnpm@12.4.0 (preinstall: node install.js; postinstall: node install.js)
npm warn install-scripts
npm warn install-scripts Run `npm install -g --allow-scripts=pnpm` to allow these scripts once, or `npm config set allow-scripts=pnpm --location=user` to allow them for all global installs.
~ $ pnpx prettier --version

Error:   × adding a new package

This appears to be a separate/new issue from the original Android-support bug (#14679) — installation now succeeds, but the Rust-based store-linking logic seems to hit a filesystem permission restriction specific to Termux's storage layout when hard-linking/copying from the store to the dlx cache.

Expected Behavior

pnpm dlx / pnpx should successfully import packages from the store into the dlx cache on Termux (Android), without a permission error, using whatever link strategy (copy, hardlink, etc.) is compatible with Termux's filesystem.
