seems to be parsing the arg as a number, but only when I globally install... weird

This is probably caused by yargs weird way of disabling that processing: it is by adding that special field to package.json.

  "yargs": {
    "parse-numbers": false
   }

This is what they suggest in their official documentation, not sure how to do it in another way.
