local registry set in .npmrc file not respected

Problem

I'm trying to publish to a local verdaccio instance located at http://localhost:4873/.

I've updated my .npmrc file to have:

registry=http://localhost:4873/

But when I run pnpm changeset publish it tries to publish to npmjs.org.

Note, when I run pnpm publish it correctly uses http://localhost:4873/

I've set up a demo of the issue I'm seeing here:

As a workaround, this works for me:

npm_config_registry=http://localhost:4873 pnpm changeset publish
