dotnet nuget package list -- error: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'path')

Looks like dotnet nuget package list could do a check to determine if the project is restored. It seems to do that when the project is specified explicitly.

C:\Users\rlander\dotnet8proj>dotnet nuget package
NuGet Command Line 6.12.0.81

Usage: NuGet.CommandLine.XPlat.dll package [options] [command]

Options:
  -h|--help  Show help information
  --version  Show version information

Commands:
  add     Adds a package reference to a project.
  list    Lists all the packages used by the current project(s).
  remove  Removes a package reference from a project.

Use "NuGet.CommandLine.XPlat.dll package [command] --help" for more information about a command.

Also, is the following our pattern, with NuGet.CommandLine.XPlat.dll? I assume not.

Use "NuGet.CommandLine.XPlat.dll package [command] --help"
