ci: add gated provenance-emitting release workflow

[yakimoto]

What this does

Adds .github/workflows/release.yml, a v*-tag-triggered, gated public-npm
release path for @wave-av/cli, modelled directly on wave-av/adk's
release.yml (the file that published @wave-av/adk@1.0.15 today with
OIDC trusted-publisher + --provenance).

Three gates, in order: secret-scan (pinned+checksummed gitleaks + the
existing WAVE content-policy script) -> verify (install, lint/type-check/
test if declared, build, then an e2e-smoke that packs the real tarball,
installs it into a throwaway project, and imports it) -> publish (OIDC
trusted publishing only — no NODE_AUTH_TOKEN/NPM_TOKEN anywhere in this
file — gated on a tag-version == package.json-version equality check, and
on both prior gates being green). All third-party actions are pinned to
full commit SHAs, copied from the adk file.

This PR does NOT publish anything and does NOT push a tag. It only adds
the workflow file. The first v* tag push is a separate, explicit,
operator-authorized act — not part of this change.

Known gap — please read before merging

main in this repo currently has no package.json and no src/ —
only governance scaffolding (AGENTS.md, capabilities.json, the guard
CI). @wave-av/cli was hand-published to npm from a checkout that was
never committed to this repo. Until a package.json + build (the repo
would need tsup/eslint/vitest per the shape already published as
@wave-av/cli@1.0.8, confirmed by fetching that version's manifest from
the npm registry) lands on main, the verify job in this workflow will
fail at npm ci (no manifest to install against). This PR builds the
release path; it does not by itself make the repo publishable — that
needs a separate PR that actually commits the source.

Before the first tag push

The Trusted Publisher for @wave-av/cli (org: wave-av, repo: cli,
workflow: release.yml) must be registered/verified in the npmjs.com UI
before any v* tag is pushed. If it isn't registered (or the
repo/workflow name doesn't match exactly), the publish job's npm publish --provenance step fails with npm error code EOTP — that's a
2FA prompt, and it's how an unregistered/mismatched Trusted Publisher
binding actually presents, not an obviously-labelled "not configured"
error.

Verification performed

• python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('.github/workflows/release.yml'))" — parses clean, all 3 jobs (secret-scan, verify, publish) present.
• actionlint .github/workflows/release.yml — exit 0, zero findings.
• Checked every step name: for the unquoted-colon-space bug that broke wave-av/sdks' publish-npm.yml for 28 runs — none present.

Tag findings (read-only, reported, not acted on)

A v*-shaped tag already exists in this repo: v1.0.0 (only one found via
gh api repos/wave-av/cli/tags). It predates the currently-published
1.0.8 on npm, so it does not correspond to the latest hand-published
version — worth the operator's attention separately from this PR.

Note

Medium Risk
Changes the only path to public npm for @wave-av/cli and adds supply-chain-sensitive publish steps (OIDC, provenance, secret scans); misconfiguration of Trusted Publisher or dist-tags could block or mis-tag releases.

Overview
Replaces the single-job v* tag release workflow with a three-gate pipeline (secret-scan → verify → publish), combining the parallel main (PR #44) and PR #17 designs so nothing is dropped from either side. Action pins are unified to newer SHAs (checkout v6.0.3, setup-node v7.0.0).

Gate 1 (secret-scan) runs checksum-pinned gitleaks on the source tree plus the same WAVE content-policy.sh gate used on merge CI.

Gate 2 (verify) now always runs lint, type-check, and unit tests (not conditional), rescans dist/ after build, then e2e-smokes the packed tarball: disposable install with --ignore-scripts, ESM import.meta.resolve, wave bin presence/executability, and three-way version parity (package.json, wave --version, and startup banner v* after clearing CI/agent env so printBanner() actually runs).

Gate 3 (publish) depends on both prior jobs, rebuilds on its own runner (jobs don’t share artifacts), gitleaks-scans that build output again, enforces tag ↔ package.json version, picks latest vs next from prerelease semver, upgrades npm to ≥ 11.5.1 for OIDC trusted publishing, uses npm ci --ignore-scripts where id-token: write is held, keeps optional NPM_TOKEN fallback, and publishes with --provenance and the chosen dist-tag.

Note

Add gated provenance-emitting release workflow for npm publishing

• Adds release.yml, a GitHub Actions workflow triggered on v* tags, with three sequential gated jobs: secret-scan, verify, and publish.
• secret-scan runs gitleaks and a content policy script against the source tree, blocking the release if secrets or internal content are detected.
• verify installs dependencies, conditionally runs lint/type-check/tests, builds the package, rescans dist/ with gitleaks, and e2e smoke-tests the packed tarball (ESM import + wave bin presence and executability).
• publish validates that the git tag version matches package.json, selects a dist-tag (latest or next), and publishes to npm using OIDC-based trusted publishing with provenance (no secret token required).
• Risk: publish requires npm ≥ 11.5.1 for OIDC trusted publishing; the workflow enforces this and fails if the version floor is not met.

Conflict repair (2026-09-03)

The section above is the original author's, appended to rather than replaced. One correction to it: its "KNOWN GAP" banner says main carries no package.json and no src/. That was true when this branch was opened; it is no longer — main now ships both, at version 1.0.9.

What this PR does (unchanged intent)

Adds a gated, provenance-emitting release path for @wave-av/cli: a v* tag runs
secret-scan → verify → publish, and nothing reaches public npm until the first two are
green. GA criteria: SUPPLY-001 (publish with --provenance under OIDC), VER-001 and
ART-001 (source version = tag = GitHub Release = npm registry).

Why it was stalled, and what changed

main grew its own release.yml in #44 after this branch was opened. Two workflows
collided add/add and the PR went CONFLICTING / DIRTY — all checks were passing, the merge
conflict was the only blocker.

Resolved by merging origin/main into this branch (fast-forward 64cb6b3..d7ad243, no
force-push — the author's three commits are intact) and producing the union of both
workflows. Relative to origin/main this branch now changes exactly one file:

$ git diff --name-only origin/main
.github/workflows/release.yml

Gate ledger — proof nothing was dropped

A conflict resolution that silently loses a gate is a regression, so every gate on both sides
is asserted mechanically (27/27):

From main (#44)	Where it lives now
tag == package.json version, fail closed	publish / Verify tag
npm ci --include=dev	verify / Install
npm run build	verify + publish
npm test (unconditional)	verify / Unit tests
npm pack + install the REAL tarball	verify / e2e-smoke
run the installed bin, wave --version == package.json	verify / e2e-smoke
NPM_TOKEN classic-auth fallback	publish / Configure npm auth
npm publish --provenance --access public	publish / npm publish

From this branch (#17)	Where it lives now
gitleaks, pinned 8.30.1 + SHA-256 verified	secret-scan, verify, publish
gitleaks over the source tree	secret-scan
WAVE content-policy trade-secret gate	secret-scan
lint + type-check	verify
gitleaks over each job's own dist/	verify + publish
ESM smoke of the packed tarball	verify / e2e-smoke
declared wave bin exists + is executable	verify / e2e-smoke
publish gated on needs: [secret-scan, verify]	publish
npm ≥ 11.5.1 upgrade, floor asserted not assumed	publish
npm ci --ignore-scripts (OIDC blast radius)	publish
build on the publish job's own checkout	publish
dist-tag derivation: prerelease → next, never latest	publish / Verify tag
id-token: write scoped to publish only	publish
tag name read via env:, never interpolated into a script	publish / Verify tag

Action pins take the newer of the two sides and never downgrade either: actions/checkout
v6.0.3 (this branch's, > main's v4.3.1) and actions/setup-node v7.0.0 (main's, > this
branch's v6.4.0). Both SHAs verified against the actions/* repos.

main's NPM_TOKEN fallback is kept rather than dropped. Without it, a tag pushed before
the npmjs Trusted Publisher registration exists fails with no recourse. It only engages when
the secret is actually set, and --provenance still produces a signed attestation on that path
because the job holds id-token: write — so SUPPLY-001 holds either way. Drop the step once
the Trusted Publisher is registered.

Defect 1 — the ESM smoke could never have passed

package.json sets "main" and "bin.wave" to the same file (./dist/index.js) and
declares no exports. So import * as m from '@wave-av/cli' does not import a library — it
executes the CLI, which with no argv prints help and exits non-zero. Reproduced against a
correctly built 1.0.9 tarball:

=== package main vs bin (same file?) ===
main: ./dist/index.js | bin: {"wave":"./dist/index.js"} | type: module | exports: undefined

=== A) the old assertion: import * as m from '@wave-av/cli' ===
exit=1                      <-- would have failed the release, at tag time

=== B) import.meta.resolve (resolve WITHOUT executing) ===
resolved: file:///.../node_modules/@wave-av/cli/dist/index.js
exit=0

=== C) run the bin (loads the whole ESM graph AND executes) ===
1.0.9
exit=0

Replaced with import.meta.resolve (proves the entry resolves, without executing) plus the
bin run below (proves the ESM graph actually loads — the "module is not defined in ES module
scope" class of break that took 1.0.8 down). Strictly stronger than what it replaced: the old
check could not pass on a correct package, so it carried no signal at all.

Defect 2 — nothing asserted the BANNER version (the actual live bug)

npm serves 1.0.8 whose banner prints v1.0.0 while source says 1.0.9. The banner is a
separate code path from --version (src/cli.ts printBanner(), suppressed whenever the
CLI detects CI or an agent — i.e. always on a runner). This branch only checked that the bin
file existed; that would have shipped the bug again.

verify / e2e-smoke now asserts three-way parity — package.json == wave --version ==
the version the banner prints — clearing the CI/agent env vars so the banner actually renders.

Proven locally, in an isolated worktree, against the real packed tarball:

install OK
ESM resolve ok: file:///.../node_modules/@wave-av/cli/dist/index.js
bin ok (exists + executable): wave -> ./dist/index.js
smoke: wave --version -> '1.0.9' (expected '1.0.9')
--- banner line as rendered ---
  Enterprise Streaming Platform  v1.0.9
smoke: banner prints v1.0.9 - three-way parity OK (package.json == --version == banner)
SMOKE EXIT=0

And a negative control — re-inject the 1.0.8 defect and confirm the gate is not vacuous:

=== banner output AFTER injecting the 1.0.8-style defect ===
(banner line not found)
=== gate verdict ===
GATE CORRECTLY FAILED: banner does not print v1.0.9
NEGATIVE_CONTROL_EXIT=1   (1 = gate correctly rejected the defect)

⚠️ Two pre-existing main defects that will block the first tag

lint and type-check were conditional here because main carried no package.json when
this branch was written. main declares both scripts now, so they are unconditional — a
gate that downgrades itself to a ::warning when a script goes missing is a gate that can be
deleted by accident. Both currently fail on origin/main, for reasons that have nothing to
do with this file. My tree is byte-identical to origin/main outside release.yml, so these
are not merge artifacts:

$ npm run type-check
src/lib/auth/device-flow.ts(11,56): error TS2307: Cannot find module '../../types/index.js'
src/lib/config/manager.ts(5,33):    error TS2307: Cannot find module '../../types/index.js'
src/lib/output/index.ts(1,35):      error TS2307: Cannot find module '../../types/index.js'
src/commands/zoom/index.ts(109,51): error TS2339: Property 'create' does not exist ...
src/commands/zoom/index.ts(125,51): error TS2339: Property 'list' does not exist ...

$ npm run lint
sh: eslint: command not found      # "lint": "eslint src/" is declared, but eslint is
                                   # NOT in devDependencies and there is no eslint config

1. src/types/index.ts does not exist on origin/main — three files import it.
2. eslint is referenced by the lint script but absent from devDependencies, with no
   eslint config anywhere in the repo.

These are deliberately not worked around here — weakening the gate to get green is the one
thing that must not happen, and the source is another lane's file. They do not block merging
this PR (release.yml only triggers on push: tags: v*, so it does not run on a PR), but they
will fail the first v* tag. Fix them before tagging, or the release fails at the worst
possible moment.

Validation

$ actionlint .github/workflows/release.yml   ->  exit 0, no findings
$ node -e '<parse + assert>'
jobs: secret-scan, verify, publish
trigger tags: ["v*"]
publish.needs: ["secret-scan","verify"]
publish.permissions: {"id-token":"write","contents":"read"}
OK: id-token: write present on publish job
uses: entries not pinned to a 40-char SHA: NONE
$ npm test    ->  Test Files 4 passed (4) | Tests 11 passed (11)

id-token: write is present and scoped to publish only — without it the --provenance
publish fails at release time.

Rollback

Single file, single merge commit. git revert -m 1 d7ad243 restores main's release.yml
verbatim; the release path degrades to what #44 shipped, and no published artifact is affected
because nothing publishes until a v* tag is pushed.

Coordination

• ci(release): make npm trusted publishing work + post-publish verification #45 (feat/npm-trusted-publish) touches this same file on top of main's version, adding
  npm install -g npm@11.19.0 and post-publish verification. This PR already installs and
  asserts an npm ≥ 11.5.1 floor, so the two overlap. Whichever merges second needs a small
  rebase; ci(release): make npm trusted publishing work + post-publish verification #45's post-publish registry verification is additive and worth keeping.
• Renovate chore(deps): update actions/checkout action to v7 #9 / chore(deps): update actions/checkout action to v4.4.0 #12 also touch release.yml (checkout bumps) and will need a rebase.

Evidence

Isolated worktree /tmp/gar2-cli-17-release off origin/main (70e0ad8); merge commit
d7ad243, fast-forward 64cb6b3..d7ad243, no force-push.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Release Process
  • Releases now undergo expanded security, quality, and content-policy checks before publication.
  • Published packages are rebuilt and verified to ensure they install correctly, expose the expected command-line tools, and report consistent versions.
  • Prerelease versions are published to the appropriate prerelease channel, while stable versions continue to use the standard release channel.
  • Release publishing now supports more secure authentication and improved workflow reliability.

Walkthrough

The release workflow now separates secret scanning, verification, and publishing. It adds source and build-output scans, unconditional quality gates, tarball smoke tests, OIDC publishing, tag validation, prerelease channel selection, and token fallback authentication.

Changes

Release pipeline

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Release gates and source policy .github/workflows/release.yml	The workflow adds release-specific concurrency, a secret-scan job, checksum-verified gitleaks installation, and a WAVE content-policy gate.
Verification and tarball smoke test .github/workflows/release.yml	The verify job runs lint, type-check, tests, and builds. It scans dist and validates the packed tarball, ESM resolution, executable wave binaries, --version, and startup-banner version parity.
Publish artifact preparation .github/workflows/release.yml	The gated publish job configures Node 22 and npm registry access, upgrades npm, rebuilds the artifact, and scans the publish output.
Version validation and npm publication .github/workflows/release.yml	The workflow validates the tag against package.json, selects next or latest, and publishes with OIDC or conditional NPM_TOKEN fallback authentication.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d7ad2

The workflow could publish package contents that differ from the scanned and tested artifact, while authorization for release-triggering tags remains unverified. Resolve these controls before enabling tagged releases.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This replaces the existing npm release path with a complex, authenticated multi-stage workflow that can publish public packages, generate provenance, and assign release dist-tags. Human validation is also warranted for the noted gap where the WAVE-specific content policy is not rerun against generated build output.

Not approved because:

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Reusable org workflow (workflow_call) shared across repos

• ➕ Reduces drift vs wave-av/adk and other repos; one place to patch security gates
• ➕ Centralizes action pin updates and hardening changes
• ➖ Adds indirection and requires cross-repo governance/versioning of the reusable workflow
• ➖ May be harder to customize repo-specific verification (e2e tarball checks, scripts)

2. GitHub Environments with manual approvals for the publish job

• ➕ Adds an explicit human gate before publishing
• ➕ Clear audit trail for who approved a release
• ➖ Slower releases; operational friction for routine patch publishing
• ➖ Does not replace the need for version matching, provenance, and secret scanning

3. Release automation tool (e.g., Changesets or release-please) to manage tags/versions

• ➕ Avoids manual tag/version mismatch by generating tags from versioned changes
• ➕ Provides changelog generation and consistent versioning practices
• ➖ More moving parts and repo conventions required
• ➖ Overkill if the repo expects occasional, operator-driven tagged releases

Recommendation: The PR’s approach is sound for a security-first, operator-driven tagged release path: three explicit gates, pinned actions, checksum-verified gitleaks, and OIDC-only publishing with provenance. If multiple wave-av repos will adopt the same hardened pipeline, consider evolving this into a reusable workflow to prevent drift; otherwise, keeping it local (as done here) is appropriate for repo-specific verification like the tarball install/import/bin checks.

1. OIDC job runs npm ci ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ⛨ Security

Description

The publish job has id-token: write but runs npm ci, which executes dependency lifecycle
scripts by default. This unnecessarily exposes the OIDC-enabled job to arbitrary code execution from
dependencies, increasing the blast radius of any compromised dependency/lockfile.

Code

.github/workflows/release.yml[R199-202]

+    permissions:
+      id-token: write   # mint the OIDC token npm exchanges for a publish credential
+      contents: read
+    steps:

Evidence

The publish job explicitly grants id-token: write and then runs npm ci, meaning dependency
install-time code runs within the same OIDC-enabled job context.

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The `publish` job enables `id-token: write` and then executes `npm ci`, which by default runs dependency install scripts. Any code that runs in this job has access to the job’s GitHub Actions environment and can attempt to request/exfiltrate an OIDC token.

## Issue Context
This workflow already has a dedicated `verify` job that can handle dependency installation/building/testing without `id-token: write`. The `publish` job should be minimized to only the steps required to publish.

## Fix Focus Areas
- .github/workflows/release.yml[194-232]

## Suggested fix
- Move dependency installation/build/pack into `verify` (where there is no `id-token: write`).
- In `publish`, avoid `npm ci` entirely by publishing the tarball artifact produced by `verify`.
- If you must keep `npm ci` in `publish`, at minimum reorder to run the tag/version check before any installs, and use `npm ci --ignore-scripts` (but note this may conflict with packages relying on publish-time lifecycle scripts).

2. Publishes unverified package 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness

Description

The verify job smoke-tests a tarball produced by npm pack, but the publish job runs `npm
publish from a fresh checkout and does not publish the tested tarball (and does not run npm run
build`). This can ship a different/broken artifact than the one that passed Gate 2.

Code

.github/workflows/release.yml[R260-265]

+      - name: npm publish (OIDC trusted publishing)
+        env:
+          DIST_TAG: ${{ steps.ver.outputs.dist_tag }}
+        run: |
+          set -euo pipefail
+          npm publish --access public --provenance --tag "$DIST_TAG"

Evidence

The workflow explicitly packs and tests a tarball in verify, but publish does not consume any
artifact from verify and instead publishes from its own checkout, so the published contents are
not guaranteed to match the tarball that was tested.

.github/workflows/release.yml[145-183]
.github/workflows/release.yml[231-265]

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
Gate 2 (`verify`) tests a tarball built via `npm pack`, but Gate 3 (`publish`) does not publish that tarball; it publishes from a separate workspace. This breaks the guarantee that what was verified is what gets released.

## Issue Context
- `verify` builds and then runs an e2e smoke test against the packed tarball.
- `publish` checks out again and directly runs `npm publish` from the repo directory.

## Fix Focus Areas
- .github/workflows/release.yml[145-183]
- .github/workflows/release.yml[231-265]

## Suggested fix
1. In `verify`, after `npm pack`, persist the tarball path/name and upload it via `actions/upload-artifact` (pinned to a commit SHA).
2. In `publish`, download that artifact via `actions/download-artifact` (pinned), and publish **that tarball**: `npm publish <tarball> --access public --provenance --tag "$DIST_TAG"`.
3. Optionally remove `npm ci` from `publish` entirely (or keep only what is strictly necessary) so the publish job becomes “publish-only” and cannot diverge from the verified build outputs.

3. Release workflow breaks without package.json ✗ Dismissed 📘 Rule violation ✧ Quality

Description

The new release workflow runs npm ci and reads ./package.json, but it also documents that this
repo currently has no package.json, so the workflow will fail when triggered. This introduces a
new CI failure path, violating the requirement to not introduce new lint/type/test-related CI
failures.

Code

.github/workflows/release.yml[111]

+      - run: npm ci

Evidence

PR Compliance ID 2497928 requires that configured lint/type/test CI commands not start failing after
the change. The added workflow explicitly notes the repo has no package.json and that verify
will fail at npm ci, and the workflow still runs npm ci / reads ./package.json in verify and
publish.

4. NaN bypasses npm check ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ☼ Reliability

Description

The npm version floor check parses npm --version using split('.').map(Number), so versions
containing prerelease/build metadata can yield NaN parts and incorrectly pass the check. This can
allow the job to proceed without actually proving the runner’s npm meets the intended minimum.

Code

.github/workflows/release.yml[R225-228]

+            const cur=process.env.NPM_VER.split('.').map(Number), min=[11,5,1];
+            for(let i=0;i<3;i++){
+              if(cur[i]>min[i]) process.exit(0);
+              if(cur[i]<min[i]){console.error('npm '+process.env.NPM_VER+' < 11.5.1 - trusted publishing unavailable');process.exit(1);}

Evidence

The current logic converts each dot-separated segment with Number(...) and compares it; if a
segment becomes NaN, both > and < comparisons are false and the script falls through
successfully.

Agent prompt

The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The version gate assumes dot-separated numeric components, but semver strings with suffixes (e.g. `11.5.1-alpha.0` or `11.5.1+build`) can produce `NaN` and bypass the intended comparison.

## Issue Context
This is a defensive check intended to guarantee trusted-publishing capability.

## Fix Focus Areas
- .github/workflows/release.yml[224-229]

## Suggested fix
- Parse the version with a strict regex and reject non-numeric major/minor/patch (and optionally reject any prerelease/build suffix), e.g. extract `major/minor/patch` via `match(/^([0-9]+)\.([0-9]+)\.([0-9]+)/)` and ensure all groups are present.
- Explicitly fail if any component is missing or non-numeric before doing the comparison.

Reply to unresolved review thread re: .github/workflows/release.yml:111 ("Release workflow breaks without package.json"). This is correct and already known — see the KNOWN GAP block at the top of the file (lines 6-17) and the PR description: this repo has no package.json/src/ on main today; @wave-av/cli was hand-published from an uncommitted working copy. This workflow only triggers on a v* tag push (on.push.tags), so it is inert until source lands on main. Adding the path now (mirroring wave-av/adk's proven, already-published release.yml) is the point of this PR; weakening npm ci/removing the manifest read would defeat the workflow's purpose once source does land. Resolving as refuted-but-acknowledged.

🔍 content-policy gate is not re-run on build output

The release path re-runs gitleaks over dist/ in both verify and publish, but the WAVE content-policy script (private-repo references, developer absolute paths, account IDs) is only run once over the source tree in secret-scan. Note the script's own IGNORE list excludes **/dist/**, so pointing it at the build output would require passing dist as the root. If bundlers can inline absolute developer paths or internal repo names into dist/, this asymmetry leaves that class of leak unscanned.

Restrict creation of v* release tags.

The workflow accepts every pushed v* tag, and the publish job has id-token: write. Determine whether active repository tag rules restrict tag creation to release maintainers. Also verify the npm Trusted Publisher protection settings.

npm CLI 11.5.1 npm publish prepublishOnly lifecycle scripts --ignore-scripts documentation

💡 Result:

In npm CLI version 11.5.1, the --ignore-scripts configuration flag is designed to prevent the execution of lifecycle scripts during npm commands [1]. Specifically, as of recent changes in the npm v11 lifecycle, the --ignore-scripts flag applies to all lifecycle scripts, including 'prepare' and 'prepublishOnly' [1][2]. The 'prepublishOnly' lifecycle script is executed exclusively during the 'npm publish' process, occurring before the package is prepared and packed [3][4]. If you run 'npm publish --ignore-scripts', the npm CLI is intended to bypass these lifecycle scripts [1]. Historically, there were bugs where 'prepublishOnly' would ignore the --ignore-scripts flag, but these have been addressed in earlier versions of the npm CLI [5]. As of npm v11, the behavior has been explicitly updated to ensure that --ignore-scripts encompasses these publishing-related lifecycle hooks [1]. If you find that your workflows require specific scripts to run during publishing while maintaining a global --ignore-scripts setting for security, please note that current npm v11 versions enforce this flag globally, which may affect scripts like 'prepare' or 'prepublishOnly' [1][2]. Users with these requirements have noted that this behavior limits the ability to build packages (e.g., TypeScript compilation) during the publish process if they have globally disabled scripts [2].

Publish the scanned tarball without another lifecycle build.

npm publish runs prepublishOnly, and package.json defines that hook as npm run build. This rebuild occurs after the dist scan and smoke test, so the published artifact is not proven to be the scanned and tested artifact.

Pack one tarball after the final build. Scan and smoke-test that tarball. Publish that exact tarball with --ignore-scripts.
