Why is this inside the for loop?

Oh it's so that we set localPrefix to the very first walkUp we find no matter what, fencepost issue which I'll back away from slowly cause I'm very bad at them.

what about handling root links? tbh I'm not sure what the supported usages are but I'm aware that arborist does support some form of root link node:

since we use stat here instead of lstat we'll resolve symlinks during the lookups and require that the package.json or node_modules correctly resolve to a file or directory, respectively. there's no change in behavior there so i think this should be just fine
this changes our behavior so we continue walking up the directory tree after finding what we believe to be a project. from there, if we find a package.json that has a workspace that matches to our previously found localPrefix, then we set our localPrefix to the new root and set the default workspace config to the first prefix we found.
i also added the ability for
--no-workspacespassed as a cli argument will disable this lookup
