Description
Running npx api install results in the following error:
node:internal/modules/package_json_reader:314
throw new ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND(packageName, fileURLToPath(base), null);
^
Error [ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND]: Cannot find package '@readme/httpsnippet' imported from /Users/username/.npm/_npx/334debcfbdc435a8/node_modules/httpsnippet-client-api/dist/index.js

}
As a workaround, I can manually install @readme/httpsnippet as a dependency, though it's not ideal.
I'm using Node.js v22 on MacOS.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure with Node.js v22 by running npx api install, then inspect the package manifests and dependency resolution for httpsnippet-client-api and @readme/httpsnippet. Done means npx api install completes without requiring users to install @readme/httpsnippet manually.
