Research direction

Start by reproducing npx cypress --version with npm 12.0.2 and Node.js v26.7.0 on Linux, then trace the npm CLI entry point that emits the npm notice run lines. Done means the command still reports the Cypress package version without those notices, while other relevant command behavior remains unchanged.
