Hey, I have a similar issue, but without any message on stderr 🤷 .
I've tried to force the resolution to v10.0.3, which worked in the past, but it continues to fail. We are using GitHub actions, I believe something has changed there. Do you use another CI?

I am running it via github workflows, also I was able to resolve the issue by downgrading @semantic-release/npm to v9.0.0, but now I am facing a new error 🙃
