Describe the bug
I installed vite-plus tonight to try on a new project, after removing my pre-existing nvm install so that I was starting fresh with vp managing my environment.
After scaffolding the project with vp create and confirming that pnpm should be used for the project, I was unable to run vp info <packagename> within the project as it kept defaulting to using npm instead of pnpm and failing due to the default devEngines.packagemanager config in the created project's package.json file:
{
"devEngines": {
"packageManager": {
"name": "pnpm",
"version": "10.12.1",
"onFail": "download"
}
}
}
Commands vp add <packagename>, vp remove <packagename>, vp list, vp why <packagename> worked correctly using pnpm as configured.
vp upgrade <packagename> is also failing with the error message "error: Setup error: Failed to fetch package metadata from https://registry.npmjs.org/vite-plus/<packagename>: HTTP status client error (404 Not Found) for url (https://registry.npmjs.org/vite-plus/<packagename>)" (I tried this with multiple common packagenames such as "react" and "react-router"). I suspect this is related to the info command failing underneath and the error being swallowed into another error handler.

Steps to reproduce
Reproduce from scratch:
- Install vite+ without having a global nvm/npm/pnpm install using
curl -fsSL https://vite.plus | bash
- Create a react-router project, selecting
yes to using pnpm as the default package manager using vp create react-router
cd <project_dir>
vp info react-router
Reproduce from example repo:
gh repo clone dawnmist/vite-plus-info-pnpm-example
cd vite-plus-info-pnpm-example
vp info react-router
