ci: switch npm publish to trusted publishing (OIDC) - #9
Merged
Conversation
- Drop NPM_TOKEN from the semantic-release env; npm CLI 11.5.1+ picks
up the GitHub Actions OIDC token automatically and exchanges it for
a short-lived publish credential when a Trusted Publisher is
configured on npmjs.com for the package.
- Pin `npm install -g npm@latest` (Node 22 image ships npm 10.x, which
predates OIDC support).
- Enable NPM_CONFIG_PROVENANCE so the published tarball carries a
sigstore provenance attestation.
Requires (one-time, on npmjs.com):
Package agentbrain -> Settings -> Trusted publishers ->
Add GitHub Actions publisher:
Repository owner: nextlevelbuilder
Repository name: agentbrain-cli
Workflow: release.yml
Environment: (leave blank)
After this PR merges, the NPM_TOKEN repo secret can be deleted.
npm blocked "agentbrain" (E403, name too similar to existing "agent-brain"). Renamed to "agentbrain-cli" and manually published 1.0.0 to reserve the name. CLI binary command remains `agentbrain` (unchanged in bin field).

Summary
npm deprecated classic long-lived tokens. Switch this repo's release pipeline to Trusted Publishing (OIDC) — no `NPM_TOKEN` secret, no rotation, per-run short-lived credential, and free sigstore provenance.
Workflow changes
One-time setup on npmjs.com (DO NOT merge before this is done)
Package `agentbrain` → Settings → Trusted publishers → Add trusted publisher → GitHub Actions:
If `agentbrain` hasn't been reserved on npm yet, create it first via `Packages` → `New package` (or reserve through this Trusted Publishers form if the UI allows).
After merge
Rollback
Revert this PR + re-add `NPM_TOKEN` (classic or GAT).
