feat: publish to public npm via trusted publishing - #771
Conversation
Moves @openchoreo/* from GitHub Packages to the public npm registry and switches release auth from GITHUB_TOKEN to npm trusted publishing (OIDC). Consumers no longer need a GitHub PAT to install the plugins. Yarn 4.4.1 -> 4.18.0 is required: yarn npm publish only learned the OIDC exchange in Yarn 4.10.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesPublic npm migration
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR moves releases to public npm and introduces OIDC and migration-based publication. The current release workflow allows dependency code to run before publication while release credentials are available, while migration can use ambient credentials and multi-package publishing is not atomic; a compromise or interruption could expose incorrect public packages or leave an incomplete release. Merge should wait for the credential boundary, dependency admission controls, migration targeting, and recovery behavior to be tightened. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Yarn 4 approvedGitRepositories configuration allowlist normalized Git repository URLs
💡 Result:
In Yarn 4, the approvedGitRepositories configuration provides a security mechanism to restrict which Git repositories can be fetched as dependencies [1][2]. When this setting is defined, Yarn blocks any Git dependency whose normalized repository URL does not match one of the specified glob patterns [3]. The URL normalization process is handled by the Yarn Git plugin to ensure consistent comparison against the allowlist [4]. Key aspects of this normalization include: 1. Protocol Disambiguation: Prefixes such as git+https:// are converted to standard protocol formats (e.g., https://) [4]. 2. GitHub Alias Resolution: Shortcuts and aliases for GitHub repositories (e.g., github:org/repo or git://github.com/org/repo) are converted to a standardized https://github.com/org/repo.git format [4]. 3. Tarball Conversion: Specific GitHub tarball URLs are normalized into git repository URLs with commit/branch references [4]. Because this configuration performs validation against these normalized URLs, you must ensure that your glob patterns in.yarnrc.yml account for the standardized forms that Yarn uses internally [5][3]. If no patterns are provided, the default empty list prevents all Git dependencies from being fetched [5][3]. Existing projects are typically migrated to include explicit allowlist patterns to maintain compatibility when upgrading [2].

Yarn 4.18.0 npmMinimalAgeGate 0 configuration semantics
💡 Result:
In Yarn 4.18.0, npmMinimalAgeGate is a security configuration setting that defines the minimum age a package version must have, based on its publication date on the npm registry, to be eligible for installation [1][2]. Configuration Semantics: 1. Purpose: The gate acts as a protective measure against supply chain attacks by preventing the immediate installation of newly published, potentially malicious packages [3][4][5]. 2. Value Format: It accepts both numbers (interpreted as minutes) and strings with duration suffixes (e.g., ms, s, m, h, d, w) [1][6][7]. 3. Disabling the Gate: Setting npmMinimalAgeGate to 0 effectively disables the age check, allowing packages to be installed immediately regardless of their age [8][9]. 4. Default Value: As of recent updates in the Yarn 4.x cycle (and specifically in the context of versions leading up to 4.18.0), the default value is 1d (1 day) [4][10]. 5. Scoped Inheritance: While global configuration supports setting npmMinimalAgeGate, issues regarding inheritance in npmScopes have been addressed in recent versions [8][11]. If a scope does not explicitly define an age gate, it is intended to fall back to the global setting [11]. Users can bypass this restriction for individual commands using the --no-time-gate flag, or permanently for specific packages via the npmPreapprovedPackages configuration [3][10].

Yarn Berry yarn npm info package no version default dist-tag documentation npm view package no version default latest
💡 Result:
In Yarn Berry (Yarn v2+), the command to retrieve package metadata is yarn npm info [1][2]. Unlike npm's npm view command [3][4], which defaults to the latest version [3][5] and is often used to inspect various package fields, yarn npm info provides similar functionality but functions slightly differently [6][7]. Key differences and behaviors: 1. Command Equivalence: While yarn npm info serves as the primary way to view registry metadata in Yarn Berry, some users have noted that it is not a direct, feature-perfect replacement for all npm view use cases (such as certain advanced metadata filtering or listing behaviors) [8]. 2. Default Version Handling: - When using yarn npm info , if no version or range is specified, it does not explicitly default to latest in the same way the npm CLI does for all operations [1][2]. - If a range or version is invalid, or if no version satisfies the specified range, yarn npm info will print a warning and fall back to displaying information about the latest version [1][2]. 3. Field Output: By default, yarn npm info omits certain long-form fields (dist, readme, and users) to keep output readable [1][2]. To include these, you must explicitly request them using the --fields flag or by using --json mode [1][6][2]. 4. npm view vs. yarn npm info: - npm view: Defaults to the latest tag if no version is specified [3][5]. - yarn npm info: Designed to fetch and print package information in a tree-like format, prioritizing readability [1][2]. It requires more explicit flags (like --fields) if you need specific, typically hidden metadata [1][2]. For querying specific distribution tags (like latest or next), you can append them to the package name (e.g., yarn npm info react@next) [2][9]. If your workflow requires precise programmatic control similar to npm view (e.g., deeply nested field extraction), you may find that using --json output with yarn npm info and parsing it with a tool like jq is the most reliable approach [1][6][2].

site:yarnpkg.com/cli/npm/info "version or range" "latest" yarn npm info package
💡 Result:
To retrieve information about package versions using Yarn, you can use the yarn npm info command [1]. To view all available versions of a specific package, use the following command: yarn npm info --fields versions If you want to fetch information specific to a version that satisfies a particular range or a specific tag, you can append that range or tag to the package name: yarn npm info @ When using this format, the command provides information for the latest version that satisfies the specified range [1]. If the provided range is invalid or no version exists that satisfies it, the command will issue a warning and default to the latest version of the package [1]. For npm specifically, while the provided sources focus on the yarn npm info CLI, the pattern for accessing registry information typically follows the same registry-based lookup logic [1]. You can filter the returned data using the --fields option to isolate specific manifest fields [1].

npm CLI 12.0.0 changelog npm view --json always returns an array dist attestations
💡 Result:
In npm CLI 12.0.0, a significant breaking change was introduced where the output of the npm view --json command now always returns an array, regardless of whether the query returns a single or multiple results [1][2][3]. This change affects how external tools and scripts consume package metadata [4][5]. Previously, npm view --json might return a single object for a single version or tag; however, starting in version 12.0.0, this output is consistently wrapped in an array [4][5]. Consequently, automation or CI/CD pipelines that expect a direct object—such as those looking for dist.attestations—may encounter errors (e.g., "Cannot index array with string 'dist'") if they do not first handle the array structure [4][5]. To ensure compatibility with npm 12.0.0, developers and maintainers of scripts should update their logic to check for the array and index into it accordingly [4][5]. A common pattern for robust parsing is: const parsed = JSON.parse(npmViewOutput); const data = Array.isArray(parsed)? parsed: parsed; // Or handle the array as needed [4][5] This modification ensures that tools can correctly locate fields like dist.attestations whether they are running on older versions of the npm CLI or on version 12.0.0 and above [4][5].

npm audit signatures documentation npm install npm ci dependency tree provenance exact supported package manager
💡 Result:
The command npm audit signatures is the official npm CLI tool used to verify the integrity and origin of packages in your dependency tree [1][2]. It performs two primary validation checks on packages installed in your node_modules directory [2][3]: 1. Registry Signatures: Validates that the package has been signed by an entity trusted by the registry [1][2]. 2. Provenance Attestations: Verifies that the package was built in a secure, verifiable environment (such as GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD) and linked back to its source code via Sigstore transparency logs [4][3][5]. Key points regarding its use and supported workflows: - Prerequisites: You must use npm CLI version 9.5.0 or later [6][3]. It is recommended to keep your npm CLI updated beyond the version bundled with Node.js to ensure compatibility with evolving attestation formats [1][4]. - Execution: The command operates on an already installed dependency tree (e.g., after running npm install or npm ci) [2][3]. It does not run automatically during the installation process itself [2]. - CI/CD Best Practices: In automated environments, the recommended pattern is to run npm audit signatures immediately after npm ci [2][3]. Because many existing packages do not yet include provenance, many teams choose to treat signature failures as build-breaking, while reporting provenance status as non-blocking telemetry [2]. - Transparency: You can output detailed JSON data for each verified package—including full Sigstore attestation bundles—by using the command: npm audit signatures --json [1][7]. Supported Package Managers: The npm CLI natively supports these signature and provenance verification features [1][8]. While other package managers exist, npm audit signatures is specific to the npm CLI and the npm registry's signature/attestation infrastructure [1][7]. Other registries or managers may implement different security verification mechanisms [1]. Important Context: Provenance is generated automatically when packages are published using Trusted Publishing (OIDC) from supported CI/CD providers [9]. Provenance provides a verifiable link between a package and its build source but does not guarantee the absence of malicious code [4][5]. It serves as a tool for developers to perform informed security audits on their dependencies [6][4].

💡 Result:
The npm audit signatures command is a specific tool designed to verify the provenance attestations and registry signatures of packages installed via the npm CLI [1]. To use this command, the following requirements must be met: 1. You must have npm CLI version v9.5.0 or later installed [1]. 2. The dependencies must have been installed using the npm CLI, specifically via npm install or npm ci [1]. Because npm audit signatures relies on verifying metadata and files installed by the npm CLI, it is not designed to work with packages installed or managed by Yarn [1]. If you are working in a project that uses Yarn, npm audit signatures will not verify the integrity of the node_modules directory created by Yarn, as that directory structure and the underlying installation metadata are managed by Yarn, not npm [1].

💡 Result:
In the npm CLI, npm audit signatures is a command used to verify the integrity of installed packages by checking registry-provided signatures and provenance attestations against the versions recorded in node_modules [1][2]. The command interacts with @npmcli/arborist—the library responsible for managing the dependency tree—primarily via its loadActual() method [3][4]. Specifically, npm audit signatures operates on the "actual" tree, which represents the state of the packages currently installed on the filesystem in node_modules [3]. By utilizing loadActual(), the command ensures that it is auditing the code actually present on disk rather than relying solely on the contents of the package-lock.json file [3]. Recent technical context regarding this process includes: - Verification Logic: When audit signatures executes, it performs exact version lookups for packages present in the loadActual() tree [3]. - Bug Fixes: A known issue existed where the min-release-age policy (intended for install-time filtering) was incorrectly applied during signature verification, leading to false-negative ETARGET errors for valid, installed packages [3]. This was resolved by ensuring the before filter (used for min-release-age) is not applied during the signature audit's manifest lookup [5]. - Reliance on Lockfile: While audit signatures reads the actual filesystem state via loadActual(), npm generally requires a package-lock.json or shrinkwrap file to be present to run audit commands by default [1]. The audit command uses the dependency information in these files to structure its report, but the signature verification specifically validates the installed artifacts themselves [1][2].

Validate option values before comparison.
If --since has no value or an invalid value, compareVersions falls back to lexical comparison. The command can then skip every version and dist-tag with exit status 0. Reject missing option values and require parseVersion(since) to succeed.

npm publish scoped package --registry @scope:registry precedence npm documentation
💡 Result:
When publishing a scoped package with npm, the registry used is determined by configuration precedence, and a general --registry flag will not override a scope-specific registry mapping [1][2][3]. Registry Precedence and Scoped Packages: 1. Scope-specific registry: If a registry is explicitly mapped to a scope (e.g., @my-scope:registry in .npmrc or via npm config set), that registry takes precedence for all operations involving that scope, regardless of the global --registry flag [2][3]. 2. Overriding Scope-specific Registry: To override an existing scope-specific registry mapping, you must target the specific scope configuration rather than the general registry flag [1][3]. You can do this via the command line using the syntax: npm publish --@my-scope:registry=https://custom-registry.url [1][2]. 3. package.json vs. .npmrc: Within project-level configurations, publishConfig settings in package.json generally take precedence over project-level .npmrc files when the same configuration keys are used [4]. Key Takeaways: - The --registry flag only affects the default (unscoped) registry [3]. - To route a scoped package to a different registry, you must explicitly configure or override the mapping for that specific scope (e.g., @scope:registry) [2][3]. - If you need to use a different registry for a single publish operation, use the --@scope:registry=URL command-line argument to explicitly override the scope's destination [1][2].
