Explanation
I upgraded from what was the old release-it yarn plugin to the one mentioned in the release-it readme. When running release-it --preRelease=next, I get the following error at the push step:

✔ syncpack list-mismatches
✔ syncpack format
✔ yarn workspaces foreach -pitv --no-private run release:before:init

🚀 Let's release taskless (3.0.0-next.0...3.0.0-next.1)


Changelog:
* deps: Updates release-it to latest (dc0efd1)

Triage
From what I can gather, it looks like https://github.com/release-it-plugins/workspaces/blob/master/index.js#L133 is the culprit, though it isn't clear if that's because we need to read the distTag again for ourselves, or release-it is no longer passing the distTag to plugins.

Thanks for reporting. Looks like there's a gap in our tests. I'll take a look and publish a fix as soon as possible.

Debugging this, it appears that release-it is trimming off the plugins' scope when loading.

We do have tests that cover destructuring the distTag, but they artificially add the package name as a property on the context, so it doesn't reflect how plugins are loaded.

I'm looking into it further to see how best to manage this.

I opened release-it/release-it#926 to try to address this.
