Pull request overview

Synchronizes eng/common pipeline templates with the upstream azure-sdk-tools changes from PR 14343, adjusting the npm publish job behavior when publishing to the public npm registry.

Changes:

• Add a PowerShell step to delete a repo-level .npmrc when targeting https://registry.npmjs.org/ to ensure npm uses the default npmjs registry.

Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)

eng/common/pipelines/templates/jobs/npm-publish.yml:85

• This step runs even when SkipPublishing is set (e.g., when no packages are found and publishing is intentionally skipped). For consistency with the subsequent publish/verify steps and to avoid unnecessary workspace mutation/noise, add the same condition used elsewhere (and(succeeded(), ne(variables['SkipPublishing'], 'true'))).
