Sorry I don’t have an answer except to commiserate with you that for such shitware npm is surprisingly resilient and the docs are almost intentionally designed to piss you off and I think were written by a maniac.

FWIW npm was my savior coming from Python back in the day, but I agree that some of its design decisions do look, shall we say, more problematic now than they used to.
