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.

Package metadata, release automation, trusted publisher setup, migration tooling, and documentation now use npm registry publishing with provenance. ChangesPublic npm migration
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change moves package distribution to public npm and uses OIDC-backed publishing. Remaining documentation inconsistencies may mislead maintainers during local release checks, migration planning, or provenance verification, but do not alter published package runtime behavior.

Inline comments:
In @.yarnrc.yml:
- Line 8: Update the npmMinimalAgeGate setting from zero to a non-zero duration,
preserving Yarn’s protection against newly published package versions; only
retain zero if this configuration includes a narrowly scoped, explicit
exception.
- Around line 1-2: Replace the wildcard value in approvedGitRepositories with an
explicit allowlist containing only the Git repositories required by this
workspace; preserve the configuration key and remove unrestricted repository
access.
- Line 4: Restrict dependency lifecycle scripts during the OIDC-enabled publish
flow: disable global scripts via enableScripts in .yarnrc.yml and allow only
explicitly required packages through dependenciesMeta, or move yarn install and
build into a job without id-token: write. Ensure publish-npm does not run
untrusted dependency scripts while its OIDC token is available.
Apply the same fix in @.github/workflows/release.yml at line 33: The workflow
permission and install ordering are the corresponding release-job site.
In `@CONTRIBUTING.md`:
- Around line 155-156: Update every package verification command in
CONTRIBUTING.md, including the yarn npm info commands and the npm view command,
to append an explicit release version or the `@next` dist-tag; do not leave any
unqualified package lookup.
- Line 181: Update the migration-range wording in CONTRIBUTING.md and the
corresponding section in README.md to state that versions 1.1.0 through 1.2.x
were migrated, preserving the existing explanation about older versions
remaining on GitHub Packages.
- Line 164: Update the npm view command’s jq expression in the contributing
instructions to normalize array responses by selecting the first element when
the input type is an array, then read .dist.attestations while preserving
compatibility with non-array responses.
In `@README.md`:
- Line 234: Update the “npm audit signatures” documentation to include a
supported npm scratch-directory installation example using an exact package
version and npm CLI 9.5.0 or later, while preserving the existing Yarn guidance.
In `@scripts/migrate-gh-packages-to-npmjs.js`:
- Around line 234-235: Validate the --since argument in the CLI parsing flow
before assigning args.since: reject a missing value and require parseVersion to
return a valid result, exiting with an error for invalid input. Preserve normal
assignment for valid versions and keep the existing --only handling unchanged.
- Line 350: Update the migration flow around the replication loop and cleanup
command so the temporary backfill tag is removed before source-tag replication,
or replace it with a unique temporary tag that cannot conflict with the source
backfill tag; preserve the source backfill dist-tag in the final package state.
- Around line 298-299: Update the npm command argument construction in the
migration flow to explicitly set the `@openchoreo` registry to
https://registry.npmjs.org for all three publish and dist-tag commands, ensuring
scope-specific configuration cannot override the intended public registry.

Split build and publish into separate jobs so dependency lifecycle scripts never run while the OIDC token is reachable. The publish job no longer checks out the repo or installs dependencies; it only uploads tarballs that yarn pack produced, and gains a workspace: leak gate. Drop approvedGitRepositories (no git deps) and restore a 1d age gate, both of which yarn set version had silently weakened. Pin the registry per scope in the migration script and validate its CLI options. Signed-off-by: Kavith Lokuhewage <kaviththiranga@gmail.com>

Installing npm from the registry while id-token: write is active reintroduced the risk the build/publish split removed. Node 24 bundles npm 11.19.0, which already supports trusted publishing, so the job now installs nothing and only asserts the version. Also updates the release docs, which still described the pre-split yarn npm publish flow. Signed-off-by: Kavith Lokuhewage <kaviththiranga@gmail.com>
The README told users to install @openchoreo/backstage-plugin-api, which does not exist on npm or in this workspace; the install example now mirrors the docs site. Drops the dead release:publish script, which still used the pre-split publish command and hardcoded --tag latest. Clarifies that the publish approval prompt appears after the build job, not straight after the tag push, and points at the Release Orchestrator as the preferred tagging path.
