Switching to yarn is not going to fix this. However, this raise some concern about npm cli

Yeah, but if you had switched to yarn beforehand, then you would not be facing this issue.


iirc yarn has a bug regarding `which` cli which is similar to this.

bugs are bound to happen and it's part of software development. however, the team size of npm cli and the way they react to this incident are what make me concern more.
