pnpm dlx <package command> with no further arguments errors with exit code 1

[ferntheplant]

pnpm version:

8.6.3

Code to reproduce the issue:

pnpm dlx create-react-app or pnpm dlx shadcn-svelte

Expected behavior:

pnpm should output the command's default output (usually a help dialog) and exit with code 0 as it does with npx

Actual behavior:

pnpm exits with code 1 and a useless stack trace

Additional information:

Originally discovered with shadcn-svelte

• node -v prints: v18.16.0
• Windows, macOS, or Linux?: macOS

I think this is as expected, the exit code of npx create-react-app is also 1:

$ npx create-react-app
Please specify the project directory:
  create-react-app <project-directory>

For example:
  create-react-app my-react-app

Run create-react-app --help to see all options.

$ echo $?
1

We can remove the error stack but the error code is correct. create-react-app exited with 1, so pnpm exits with 1 too.
