+Fix browserslist error when using pnpm
+
+Set BROWSERSLIST_ROOT_PATH environment variable during template compilation
+to prevent browserslist from searching outside the template directory. This
+fixes an issue where pnpm's shim files were incorrectly parsed as browserslist
+configuration, causing "Unknown browser query" errors.
+
+Fixes: https://github.com/asyncapi/cli/issues/1781
