Npm not using ~/.npmrc

[OperationalFallacy]

I'd like to use npx publib-npm in the pipeline with AWS CodeArtifact, however, it is not using credentials from ~/.npmrc

Successfully configured npm to use AWS CodeArtifact repository https://xxx-xxx.d.codeartifact.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/npm/lib/ 
Login expires in 12 hours at 2023-03-22 23:06:25-04:00

Then error with publish

npx publib-npm                                                                                                                                                           
NPM_TOKEN is required

Native npm publish works properly, using auth from ~/.npmrc
npm publish dist/js/lib@${version}.jsii.tgz

With NPM_TOKEN and NPM_REGISTRY variables for the CodeArtifact registry, it errors out with

npx publib-npm          

Unable to locate credentials. You can configure credentials by running "aws configure".
