🐛 Bug: Error: could not determine executable to run

[rgant]

Bug Report Checklist

• I have tried restarting my IDE and the issue persists.
• I have pulled the latest main branch of the repository.
• I have searched for related issues and found none that matched my issue.

Expected

When running npx package-json-validator --warnings --recommendations I expect to install temporarily this package and then run the validator.

Actual

I get the following error:

npm error could not determine executable to run

Additional Info

I believe that this is caused by the removal of the bin key in the package.json by #89.

Can we restore this key and see if that works?

Ran into the same thing just now.

I see a PR for this is up. Could you take a look into merging it @JoshuaKGoldberg, pretty please?
