Error on eas local build - yarn looks for workspace app in yarn registry

Summary

Good day,

I'm still debating whether to raise this on yarn or here in eas-cli, but I'm leaning towards raising this issue here.

Converting our app into utilizing workspaces, I have a package.json for workspace not-app-main that looks like this:
"dependencies": { "app-main": "1.0.0" }, "scripts": { "build:local-android": "eas build --profile development --platform android --local" },
where app-main is another workspace

manual yarn install works fine, and also yarn workspace not-app-main install.

However, when I do EAS_NO_VCS=1 yarn workspace not-app-main run build:local-android,
there's an error during yarn install that happens in [INSTALL_DEPENDENCIES] phase:

`

[INSTALL_DEPENDENCIES] Error: yarn install exited with non-zero code: 1
`

This error is apparently caused by yarn trying to find app-main from the yarn registry, but it can't find it, because it's not there.
Searching for a solution, I found a similar issue in yarn: https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/4878
But I cannot apply here the solution there of adding the exact version for the local dependency to be successfully added.

Managed or bare?

I think I also need to add this info here:
I solely use Windows during development, but since eas build does not work on Windows, I'm currently using a linux image on a docker container to see if I can make eas build --local run

Reproducible demo or steps to reproduce from a blank project

1. In a project, add two workspaces where one workspace (workspace-a) is a dependency of another (workspace-b).
2. run eas build --local in workspace-b
