Wireit fails when invoked via node --run

[justinfagnani]

node --run <npm-script> is a new command in Node 22 that runs scripts defined in package.json, but has much less overhead (~200ms less) than npm run: nodejs/node#52190

It should be very nice paired with Wireit for cached scripts.

But Wireit currently throws:

❌ wireit must be launched with "npm run" or a compatible command.
    More info: Wireit could not identify the script to run.
node:child_process:965
    throw err;
    ^

Node.js v22.0.0

It seems like npm --run isn't setting npm_lifecycle_event, so that (or a detectable alternative) would need to be fixed on their end. Hopefully that's it.
