That looks like a npm issue, not a Node.js one. You should open an issue on their repo (https://github.com/npm/cli), they probably want to fix that indeed.

Reading through the linked issue, it looks like your issue is not related to
npxexactly, it's really the extensionless part that is at stake here, sorry I read the OP too fast. In this case, I think your issue is a duplicate of #35518.If I've missed something, feel free to give more details and to reopen this issue :)
