[BUG] 10.6.0 regresses stdout pollution on npx/npm exec

[lorenzogrv]

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

npm pollutes stdtout when using npx/npm exec

Old behavior:

$ npm --version
10.2.4
$ npm exec -- /bin/bash -c 'echo what?'
what?

$ npm install -g npm@latest

removed 43 packages, and changed 74 packages in 710ms

24 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

New behavior

$ npm --version
10.6.0
$ npm exec -- /bin/bash -c 'echo what?'

> @grupomarea/[email protected] npx
> /bin/bash -c echo what?

what?

This seems similar to #7354

Expected Behavior

$ npm --version
10.6.0
$ npm exec -- /bin/bash -c 'echo what?'
what?

Steps To Reproduce

1. Follow the steps above

Environment

• system

$ cat /etc/lsb-release 
DISTRIB_ID=LinuxMint
DISTRIB_RELEASE=21.1
DISTRIB_CODENAME=vera
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 21.1 Vera"
$ uname -i
x86_64

• npm config:

; node version = v20.11.1
; npm version = 10.6.0

For a sake of completeness, this does not happen on 10.5.0

$ npm install -g [email protected]
# ...
$ npm exec -- /bin/bash -c 'echo what?'
what?

PS: Why v10.6.0 is tagged @latest when current docs changelog states v10.5.2 is latest CLI?

@wraithgar seems also related to npm/statusboard#829
