3
+ # Trusted publishing (OIDC) — NO npm token anywhere in this repo.
4
+ #
5
+ # Why this file exists: npm is withdrawing the ability for access tokens to
6
+ # bypass 2FA when publishing. Phase 1 (2026-07-31) already blocked token-driven
7
+ # MANAGEMENT operations; Phase 2 (~January 2027) removes DIRECT PUBLISHING, and
8
+ # when it lands no token you can create will publish this package. The
9
+ # replacement is trusted publishing: GitHub Actions proves this repo's identity
10
+ # to npm over OIDC, with no long-lived credential to leak or rotate.
11
+ #
12
+ # Provenance comes free and is why this workflow lives HERE rather than in the
13
+ # pipeworx-core monorepo: npm will only attach a provenance attestation when the
14
+ # source repo is PUBLIC, and pipeworx-core is private. This repo is public, and
15
+ # package.json's `repository.url` already points at it, which is the match npm
16
+ # checks (case-sensitive).
17
+ #
18
+ # Do NOT add `--provenance`: with trusted publishing npm generates the
19
+ # attestation automatically, and passing the flag is redundant.
20
+ #
21
+ # The FILENAME matters. npm's trusted-publisher config names the org, the repo
22
+ # and this file's name — `publish.yml`. Renaming this file silently breaks
23
+ # publishing for this package until someone re-runs `npm trust` against the new
24
+ # name. Keep it `publish.yml` across every pack repo so the bulk config loop in
25
+ # pipeworx-core's scripts/npm-trust-bulk.sh stays a one-liner.
26
+ #
27
+ # This file is GENERATED by pipeworx-core's scripts/publish-pack.sh from
28
+ # scripts/templates/publish-npm.yml. Edit it there — publish-pack.sh rebuilds
29
+ # this repo from scratch and force-pushes, so local edits are erased on the next
30
