[BUG] install script does not run in workspace in 8.5.4

[perrin4869]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

This issue exists in the latest npm version

• I am using the latest npm

Current Behavior

Given the following:

❯ cat package.json
{
  "name": "npm854",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "install": "echo root install",
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "workspaces": ["subpackage"]
}
❯ cat subpackage/package.json
{
  "name": "npm854-subpackage",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.js",
  "scripts": {
    "install": "touch install",
    "test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC"
}

Running npm install will not generate an install file inside the subpackage directory.

Expected Behavior

In 8.5.3 it would run the install script inside the workspaces as well
Probably introduced by #4529

Steps To Reproduce

+1 I have a repro here: https://github.com/n8agrin/npm-8.5.4-no-lifecycle-scripts

It seems all lifecycle scripts in workspaces do not run in npm versions after 8.5.3

This also seems to happen if you don't use a workspace, but instead use a file:-dependency in package.json:

"eslint-plugin-xyz": "file:libs/eslint-plugin-xyz",

When running npm install in the main directory, with npm 8.5.0, the install script of the linked plugin is run, with npm 8.5.5 it is not run.

Issue is still present in npm 8.9.0.
