Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported behavior with npm 8.11.0 and Node.js 16.15.1 using npm ls --dev, then inspect the npm CLI handling for dependency listing. Done means the command displays only development dependencies; the issue provides no reproduction project, test, or source file to guide the investigation.
