publishing an npm package with a specified binary does not install the binary when installed with npm

[eleith]

Description

npm allows packages to install binary files through the use of the bin parameter as specified in their docs

using gitea's npm registry, i've noticed my packages will not install the binaries specified by it's package.json into the node_modules/.bin as it does with other packages on other registries.

i've only lightly investigated, but this may have some overlap with the solution to #21013

with npmjs registry, the bin is listed out in the registry metadata and also shows up when running npm info. as an example, ncu's registry shows that a bin property is listed out on each version

with gitea's registry, the bin property is missing (ex: https://example.com/api/packages/{owner}/npm/{@scope}/{package}) from the version field and thus also does not show up when running npm info

my current theory is that this missing metadata may be resulting in npm not knowing a package is providing a binary and thus not installing it post install.

however, if i link my package internally, the binary is picked up and installed correctly.

Ran into the same issue yesterday. I've compared the metadata of npmjs and my gitea npm registry. Adding the binary information in the metadata should fix this.
