Hey @tschneidereit please note, this PR contains a commit that also fixes a problem with the release here: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/ComponentizeJS/actions/runs/15981111713

The .npmrc configuration that would cause the NPM token to be picked up from ENV wasn't in place, so the NPM publish didn't succeed -- this PR fixes that (and an errant space).

There is also a change in here to improve the tag_pattern that identifies version tags as they stand in the repo -- there'there are no distinct commits in between the RCs so nothing shows up, but when 0.18.3 actually gets pushed out, it will be useful.

The changes all look good to me, but I would strongly before splitting the functional changes from the release, and never mix the two in the same PR. Would it be possible to land your fixes in a separate PR and rebase this one on that?

Those bugs were discovered during the process of the release and the important one is in a separate commit, but I understand the perspective -- I can certainly split those changes out!
