…path Fixes npm/cli#8722 When normalizing a package manifest fetched from a registry (without a filesystem path), attempting to expand 'directories.bin' would crash with ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE because pkg.path is undefined. This adds a check to only expand directories.bin when pkg.path exists, preventing the crash while maintaining correct behavior for packages with a filesystem location. Affects users with custom/private registries that don't pre-calculate the 'bin' field from 'directories.bin' in their package manifests.

Fixes npm/cli#8722
When normalizing a package manifest fetched from a registry (without a filesystem path), attempting to expand 'directories.bin' would crash with ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE because pkg.path is undefined.
This adds a check to only expand directories.bin when pkg.path exists, preventing the crash while maintaining correct behavior for packages with a filesystem location.
Impact:
npmcommands can fail withERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPEwhen normalizing manifests including adirectories.binfield cli#8722Testing:
