+The script [/scripts/update-cypress-latest-yarn.sh](../scripts/update-cypress-latest-yarn.sh) (which is invoked through `npm run update:cypress` to update the Yarn examples) runs [Yarn 1 (Classic)](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/) as an `npm` global install, runs [Yarn Modern](https://yarnpkg.com/) through Corepack and returns Corepack to its default disabled state on completion.
