Research direction

Start with the linked npm trusted publishing documentation, announcement, and provenance guide, then inspect this repository's package publishing configuration.

Description

status:waiting-for-triage

Overview

Recent supply chain attacks on npm have highlighted the need for stronger package publishing security. The September 2025 Shai-Hulud worm compromised 500+ packages through stolen maintainer tokens, showing the risks of token-based publishing.

Trusted publishing helps by eliminating long-lived tokens that can be stolen or accidentally exposed; generating automatic provenance provides cryptographic proof of where/how packages are built; and is an industry standard adopted by PyPI, RubyGems, crates.io, NuGet, etc...

NPM is planning to deprecate legacy tokens and make trusted publishing the preferred method.
