Pattern `**/*.md` does not includes paths like `source/_posts/foobar.md` while running the CLI via `npx`

See original GitHub issue

I am working in a hexo blog project, and I got

$ npx markdownlint-cli2 "**/*.md" "#node_modules"
markdownlint-cli2 v0.0.12 (markdownlint v0.22.0)
Finding: scaffolds/draft.md scaffolds/page.md scaffolds/post.md
Linting: 3 file(s)
Summary: 0 error(s)

which means **/*.md does not includes paths like source/_posts/foobar.md. However, it worked pretty well in the past few days. Is something going wrong?

The “Finding” line shows that whatever tool/environment is running the command is expanding the glob instead of passing it to the CLI. Maybe try single quote or run the CLI directly if “npx” is responsible?

A couple of months passed, and I should note here that something has changed as far as I observed. npm 7.6.3 (or maybe some version behind) brings the previous behavior back, and a command like npx markdownlint-cli2 "**/*.md" "#node_modules" works now.
