Corepack strips empty lines from package.json when inserting packageManager

[msbit]

If I have a package.json with some empty lines (in this case intentionally), that doesn't specify packageManager, then running a shim (for example yarn install) adds the packageManager attribute but removes the empty lines. I would expect that any existing whitespace in the file would be preserved.

Versions

$ corepack --version
0.28.2
$ node --version
v18.20.2
