Semver violation

[linvain]

According to semver:

identifiers consisting of only digits are compared numerically and identifiers with letters or hyphens are compared lexically in ASCII sort order

Full text

Precedence refers to how versions are compared to each other when ordered. Precedence MUST be calculated by separating the version into major, minor, patch and pre-release identifiers in that order (Build metadata does not figure into precedence). Precedence is determined by the first difference when comparing each of these identifiers from left to right as follows: Major, minor, and patch versions are always compared numerically. Example: 1.0.0

So you should place a dot between beta and the number or the precedence would be broken.

yarn add node-pty@beta installs latest beta but interactive input sorts versions lexically:
