Research direction
Start by tracing main() and the publisher-bot request path, then inspect where definitelyTypedZipUrl and package deployment tags are handled. Confirm how a PR archive and requested packages would reach the deployment flow. Done means a bot request can publish selected PR packages under a non-latest npm tag without changing the default release.

Description
Let's take a big PR like "add Node 16" - today it's tested via the .d.ts files and humans look over and guestimate whether this is going to break projects.
We could support: "@typescript-bot pack this" which would trigger a HTTP call to the publisher bot, instead of running main() it would:
- change
definitelyTypedZipUrlto be the zip for the PR ( e.g. https://codeload.github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/tar.gz/pull/52357/head ) - take the packages to deploy from the bot request
- deploy the version as a different npm tag, and not as 'latest' so people don't get it by default
Happy to pair on this if folks are interested
