Description of Problem

--prefix
flag. There is only info on thenpm prefix
command that prints a global prefix, but it's quite vague on what this prefix is and what it's used for.I've asked Grok 3 in DeepSearch mode, and it claims that the two commands above are not equivalent. But its explanation of the
