ci: use OIDC for npm publishing - #62
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request replaces the release workflow with a tag-triggered npm publishing workflow. It configures pnpm and Node.js 24, installs dependencies, runs tests, publishes the package, and disables pnpm Git checks. Changesnpm publishing
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR changes npm publishing to OIDC, but the current workflow may still fail to use Trusted Publishing, grants publishing-identity access to installation and test code, and disables publish safety checks beyond the release job. That creates a material release and supply-chain security risk, so the PR is not ready to merge until these issues are addressed. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Line 16: Update the actions/checkout step to set persist-credentials to false,
preventing the GitHub token from being stored in local Git configuration while
preserving the existing pinned checkout action.
- Around line 3-5: Move the workflow permissions block from the top level into
the publish job, retaining contents read and id-token write there, and add a
brief comment documenting that the publish job requires OIDC authentication.
- Line 25: Update the publish workflow’s pnpm publish command to include the
--no-git-checks option, preserving tag-triggered publishing in detached HEAD
environments.
- Line 17: Update the pnpm/action-setup entry in the workflow to pin the Node.js
24-compatible v4.4.0 commit fc06bc1257f339d1d5d8b3a19a8cae5388b55320, replacing
the current v4.3.0 commit while preserving the existing action configuration.
- Around line 18-22: Update the publish workflow’s package-manager setup to use
a pnpm release that includes the OIDC precedence fix before enabling OIDC
publishing, keeping the package.json pnpm version and workflow configuration
consistent; alternatively, switch the publish step to npm publish.

npm must map the package to this repository and workflow file,
.github/workflows/publish.yml. The configured environment must also match this workflow. If the npm-side mapping is absent or different, publishing fails even whenid-token: writeis correct. (github.com)

pnpm/action-setupstill relies on thepackageManagervaluepnpm@10.30.3. Confirm that this exact version supports thepnpm publishtrusted-publishing path. Otherwise, update the package-manager pin and lockfile, or publish withnpm publish. npm documents OIDC support fornpm publish, so the pnpm delegation path requires separate verification.

7-10: 🔒 Security & PrivacyProtect release tags and verify the Trusted Publisher entry.
If users with tag-creation permission can create arbitrary
v*tags, they can start this OIDC publishing job. Protect thev*tag pattern with a repository ruleset. Confirm that npm trusts this repository, thepublish.ymlworkflow, and thenpm publishaction. Also verify thatpackage.json.repository.urlmatches the repository. npm recommends tag protection and requires these publisher fields to match exactly. (docs.npmjs.com)Source: MCP tools

Drops the long-lived npm token from publishing and uses GitHub OIDC instead. Actions are pinned to full SHAs and publishing stays on
v*tags.
