Changed node version, but npm version not auto-switch. about proto

[ImBIOS]

Wait... is it a feature or is it a bug?

@ImBIOS When you run npm it doesn't use the npm version associated with the current node version, it uses whatever npm version you have pinned or has been detected:

[DEBUG 09:57:00.658] proto_core::version_detector:run  Detected version from .prototools file  tool="npm" version="10.2.3" file="/Users/ImBIOS/.proto/.prototools"

In this case, it's using 10.2.3. This is technically working as intended, but I agree, a bit confusing. You can set this pinned version to bundled and it should work how you expect.

You can force an older version with PROTO_NPM_VERSION=x.x.x npm ... or use bundled with PROTO_NPM_VERSION=bundled npm ....

It is a bad experience from a user standpoint. But, it's my responsibility too to set the global npm to a fixed version myself LOL.
