Monorepo reproducing weird asset errors between expo / metro / pnpm

versions of stack:

pnpm: latest
expo: 42
expo-cli: 4.8.1
metro: 0.58 (0.59 has same issues, later versions beyon didn't seem to work)

First install PNPM:

npm i -g pnpm
yarn add --global pnpm

Then install the dependencies in this workspace

pnpm install

Finally start the application:

pnpm start --filter mobile-app

The application can successfully boot, but Expo/Metro can't seem to serve our custom fonts...

A few things to note:

• We get a MD5 mismatch on the fonts.
• the URL includes /assets/assets/.. which looks incorrect?
• Font URL seems malformed (two ? in the query params):
  • http://10.103.48.232:19000/assets/assets/fonts/babysweet.ttf?platform=ios&hash=5751ffa9c86291f684a5d30b67814476?platform=ios&dev=true&hot=false&minify=false
• What's also strange is manually manipulating the URL quickly seems to work
  • manually modify the URL to the following: http://10.103.48.232:19000/assets/fonts/babysweet.ttf
  • remove the f from .ttf causing an legitament 404 in the metro server
  • quickly restore the f, hit enter and you'll be served the font
