fix: sync json output of pack and publish#9247
Merged
Conversation
BREAKING CHANGE: the --json output of `npm pack` and `npm publish` have changed. They are now always consistent, and in the same format. Previously, `npm pack` would output an array of entries and `npm publish` an object. The `npm publish` object also changed forms depending on if workspaces were also being published. Now, the output is always an object with the package name as the top level index.
