First of all, thanks for all of the work being done on the npm CLI and the ecosystem! Tons of new amazing things in v7.

Current Behavior:

Hook scripts (documented in the docs here) seem to no longer get run for npm v7.

For example, an executable file at node_modules/.hooks/postinstall with the following contents not get run:

#!/usr/bin/env node
console.log('ran hook');

I also tried this:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo 'ran hook'

This will not get run during npm install or npm install <pkg name>

Expected Behavior:

The hook scripts should be run

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Create a new package with one of the file contents above in an executable file under node_modules/.hooks/postinstall
2. Run npm install
3. Hook script does not get run

Environment:

• OS: macOS 11.2.1
• Node: 15.8.0
• npm: 7.5.4

Alternatives considered

Maybe Hook Scripts are no longer supported? In this case, they should be removed from the documentation.
