Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Replace abbreviations with full flag names, remove unsupported flags (check `npm help config`), and clean unknown keys from .npmrc files (project, user, global, builtin). Note some commands (config, help, doctor, completion, version) skip validation so you can still repair a broken .npmrc.
Option: Use full, supported flag names [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: See record scope.
Steps:
1. Run the failing command and read the listed '--<flag>' entries.
2. Check `npm help config`; replace abbreviations and remove unsupported flags from scripts.
Expected: Command proceeds without the error.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
