`npm install` fails when using npm version `10.4.0`

[kjots]

Installation fails when installing with npm version 10.4.0. The npm install command runs the postinstall script, which attempts to run husky but fails as this is not listed as a package dependency. This does not occur when using npm version 10.3.0.

Output when using npm 10.3.0:

I think it is a bug from npm side. If you look into the package.json in build, the postinstall script has a _ prefix which should not run.

"_postinstall": "husky install",

I use an older version of npm and it works.
