resolve: `npx resolve` errors

I have the error, so I added some debug info upfront:

console.log({
    npm_lifecycle_script: process.env.npm_lifecycle_script,
    _: process.env._,
    __filename
})

if (
    String(process.env.npm_lifecycle_script).slice(0, 8) !== 'resolve '
    && (
        !process.argv
        || process.argv.length < 2
        || (process.argv[1] !== __filename && fs.statSync(process.argv[1]).ino !== fs.statSync(__filename).ino)
        || (process.env._ && path.resolve(process.env._) !== __filename)
    )
) {
    console.error('Error: `resolve` must be run directly as an executable');
    process.exit(1);
}

that gives me:

{
  npm_lifecycle_script: 'resolve',
  _: '/Users/v.vanchuk/repo/test/node_modules/.bin/resolve',
  __filename: '/Users/v.vanchuk/repo/test/node_modules/resolve/bin/resolve'
}

I failed to follow the logic in this place

• when npm_lifecycle_script can have space at the end?
• why in general you make this restriction? (what’s the purpose?)

Hope you can help / clarify this moment =)

Thanks in advance
