400 error when publishing an npm package

[whawker]

Hi, I'm running into an issue when trying to publish a private NPM package that exposes a CLI.

The package is written in TypeScript and compiles without error, I can also install it from source and the CLI works as intended.

However, when I try to publish the package I receive the error

npm ERR! 400 Bad Request - PUT https://registry.npmjs.org/@<my org name here>%2fcodemods - child "params" fails because ["params" must be an object]

I cannot figure out what "params" refers to, it doesn't appear in my source code. The package has never been published before, and does not exist in the registry. I can also publish other packages to the same org without error.

Here is my package.json file with some info redacted between <>

{
  "name": "@<my org name here>/codemods",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "A collection of scripts to modify the code in your repo automatically",

    "eslint-config-prettier": "^8.3.0",
    "prettier": "^2.5.1",
    "typescript": "^4.9.5"
  }
}

I am using Node v18.18.2 and npm version 9.8.1

Any help from the community would be much appreciated!
