What version of Bun is running?

1.1.33+247456b67

What platform is your computer?

Linux 6.6.58_1 x86_64 unknown

What steps can reproduce the bug?

bunx npm:sv create

What is the expected behavior?

Run a package from npm and ignore locally installed executable with same name.

What do you see instead?

with bunx:

error: "git clone" for "@npm:sv" failed

error: InstallFailed cloning repository for @npm:sv
error: @npm:sv failed to resolve

with bun exec: bun: command not found: npm:sv

Additional information

If you have a program with the same name as an npm package that you try to run with npx/npm exec it will not try to download and run program from npm but it will try to run the locally installed program. I have a program called sv installed locally and when i try to run npx sv ... it doesnt run the program from npm. So I have to run it as npx npm:sv ... in order to work. When I tried running it with bunx npm:sv .../bun exec npm:sv ... I get an error.

The bug here is that we should be treating the specifiers passed as arguments the same as we do with bun add. It shouldn't be thinking that npm: is part of the name of the package, but an explicit protocol to avoid running the global sv binary
