refactor(bulma-ui): publish every package with pnpm instead of npm - #538
Conversation
bestax-migrate's release config carried the publish mechanism and about sixty lines explaining why each flag is load-bearing. Three more packages are about to need exactly the same thing, and four copies of an explanation is four chances for three of them to go stale. The plugin pair moves to scripts/lib/pnpm-publish.mjs and is returned together, because it is one decision: npmPublish:false is what stops @semantic-release/npm publishing, and the exec plugin is what publishes instead. Wiring one without the other either publishes twice or not at all, which was previously a thing a reviewer had to notice. bestax-migrate's resulting publishCmd and verifyConditionsCmd are byte-identical to what it published 2.0.1 with, so this changes no behaviour.
The refusal message named bestax-migrate's workspace: devDependency and told the reader to run `pnpm -C bestax-migrate pack`. Correct while one package wired the hook; about to be wrong for three others. It now reads the cwd, which is where a lifecycle hook runs, and names the package actually being packed. When that manifest carries a pack-time specifier the message quotes it; when it does not, it explains the rule without inventing a dependency to point at. The manifest read is on the refusal path only and cannot throw: a guard that crashed while explaining itself would report the wrong problem, and on the allow path it would fail a real release from inside a pack hook, after the commit and tag are already pushed. isPnpmPublish is untouched. The npm_execpath reasoning and the allow-the-unrecognised asymmetry are load-bearing and already covered.
The last mechanism difference between this package and bestax-migrate. Nothing is wrong with it today — it carries no pack-time specifier, so npm resolves everything it declares — but two publish paths means two sets of rules to keep correct, and a contributor reading one release config learns things that do not transfer to the other three. Three things this changes that are worth knowing: publishConfig.provenance is REMOVED rather than left in place. pnpm does not read it, so --provenance on the publish command is the only thing turning attestations on, and the most likely way anyone deletes that flag is reading "provenance": true here and concluding it is redundant. --access public stops being belt and braces. This is the only scoped package, and scoped packages default to restricted. The prepack guard runs FIRST, before pack-pointer-files.mjs, so a refused pack refuses before it starts swapping files around. Verified that pnpm runs postpack too, so the CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md round trip still restores: pnpm 11.9.0 calls _runScriptsIfPresent(["postpack"]) unless --ignore-scripts. Packed against the published 5.11.1 to check what actually changes in the tarball. The file list gains LICENSE, which pnpm takes from the workspace root for a package that has none of its own and npm was silently dropping.
Same move as bulma-ui, same reasons: one publish mechanism instead of two, and publishConfig.provenance removed because pnpm never read it and leaving it there invites deleting the flag that does the work. prepack runs the guard before sync-skills.mjs. There is still no postpack, and that remains right — sync-skills copies files in rather than swapping them out, so there is nothing to undo, and templates/skills/ is gitignored. Tarball diffed against the published 4.1.0: same file list plus LICENSE, which pnpm picks up from the workspace root.
Same move as the other two, and the last one, so the npm branch of the publishable-manifests rule now has no package left to fire on. It stays anyway; it is what holds a NEW package to the strict rule until someone deliberately moves it. One thing here was not cosmetic. files ships all of data/, and sync-skills.mjs keeps its fingerprint and lock state in data/.sync-skills/. npm happened to leave that out of the tarball and pnpm does not, so this move would have started shipping build state as product. Caught by diffing a pnpm pack against the published 1.0.0, and closed with a "!data/.sync-skills" negation in files. With that, the tarball matches what is published today, plus the LICENSE pnpm takes from the workspace root.
The declaration is no longer one name, so the test that pinned it to one had to say something else. It now derives the expected set from the workspace: every publishable package must be declared, which means a NEW one fails here until somebody decides how it publishes. That is the moment the decision is cheap. The npm-publisher fixture needed rethinking for the same reason. It was `bulma-ui`, chosen deliberately as a REAL undeclared directory so a rule that ignored the declaration could not pass it. Declaring the last real package left nothing to play that part, so it is now a name that is deliberately not a workspace package — which is honest about what the npm branch guards now: a package that does not exist yet. An assertion keeps it undeclared, because declaring that name would quietly turn every npm-branch test into a pnpm-branch one. --provenance, --embed-readme and branches:['main'] are asserted per package rather than once. One helper builds all four commands today, but that helper is an implementation detail; what has to hold is that each package's config produces them. Checked by mutation, since all of this exists to catch failures that are silent: dropping --provenance fails with "bulma-ui loses provenance", dropping a prepublishOnly guard fails conformance by name, and declaring a package without moving its config fails the per-package agreement test.
The publish job installed npm@latest because @semantic-release/npm shells out to `npm publish` and OIDC trusted publishing needs npm >= 11.5.1. All four packages now publish with `pnpm publish`, which carries its own OIDC exchange, so there is no npm version left for this job to need. No trigger, permissions block, allowlist, action SHA or gate is touched. The four release steps stay byte-identical, which is the property that makes this safe: how a package publishes is decided by its release.config.js, not here.
The mechanism is shared now, so the explanation moves to shared docs instead of living in bestax-migrate's CLAUDE.md as an exception. VERSIONING.md gains the three ways this publish step fails quietly — provenance, README, and the weaker auth pre-flight — and the packages point at it rather than restating it. SECURITY.md said three packages request provenance with publishConfig; none do now, and the flag on the command is the only thing producing attestations. bestax-migrate keeps what is actually its own: it is still the only package carrying a workspace: specifier, which is why the whole arrangement exists and why its tarball is the one worth inspecting after a packing change.

require-pnpm-publish.mjs restated PACK_TIME_PROTOCOLS and DEP_SECTIONS with a comment conceding they could drift from check-conformance.mjs and arguing the drift was cheap, because the alternative was importing a 60KB check into a hook that runs on every pack. That was a false choice. scripts/lib/ exists for exactly this and already holds shell-words.mjs and release-config.mjs. A small module costs nothing at pack time and removes the concession: add a seventh protocol now and both the rule and the refusal message learn about it, where before the message would have gone quiet about it.
The guard's allow path warned that `--provenance --embed-readme` are not defaults whenever it ran outside CI. It runs on prepack as well as prepublishOnly, and prepack is what `pnpm pack` runs — so once #532 wired the hook into four packages, `pnpm -C <pkg> pack` printed a publish warning at someone who was only inspecting a tarball. That command is what this file's own header and three CLAUDE.md files tell you to run, which is a good way to teach people to ignore the warning that matters. It is now gated on prepublishOnly, the hook that only runs when something is actually being published. Deliberately `chore` and not `fix(bestax-migrate)`. The change is repo-wide rather than one package's, and require-pnpm-publish.mjs ships in no tarball, so a release here would bump a version whose published contents are identical. Two test gaps closed while here. The specifier-naming branch had no coverage at all: every fixture pointed at a directory that does not exist, so describePackage took its catch path and the "no specifier" assertion passed for the wrong reason, byte-identical to the unreadable-manifest test above it. The fixtures now use real package directories, one with a pack-time specifier and one without. And the guard-wiring loop is dropped, because publishable-manifests.test.mjs derives the same assertion from the workspace and this copy would have silently kept testing four packages when a fifth arrived.
Every other assertion in this file was generalised to loop over the declaration; "the exec plugin pins its cwd" still checked bestax-migrate alone, and only that execCwd was truthy. That is the wrong thing to leave unguarded now that pnpmPublishPlugins takes the directory as an argument. A config that passed a copy-pasted path would run `pnpm publish` in the wrong package — after semantic-release has pushed the release commit and tag, so the version is spent — and nothing would have gone red. Verified by mutation: pointing bestax-mcp's config at bulma-ui's directory now fails with "bestax-mcp: execCwd". The `--dir=` in publishCmd is asserted the same way, since it has the same failure mode. Also: an unexpandable pnpm-workspace.yaml entry is now a hard failure rather than a filtered-out row. parseWorkspacePackages returns entries as literal text, so a glob like `packages/*` would have shrunk PUBLISHABLE silently, and PUBLISHABLE is what the declaration is compared against — the "a new package must be declared" guarantee would have stopped holding while this file stayed green. And a comment that said "bulma-ui has no exemption" now that bulma-ui has one.
The note said npm left data/.sync-skills out of the tarball and pnpm does not, so the move to pnpm publish would have started shipping build state. The negation is right; that reason is wrong, and it is the kind of wrong that gets acted on — a maintainer would reasonably conclude no other package needs the same audit, or that the negation is droppable. npm and pnpm both ship dot-directories under a files entry. A synthetic package with files ["data"] and data/.state/x packs identically under either. The published 1.0.0 has no .sync-skills only because the directory did not exist yet: it arrived with #520 on 2026-08-14, two days after 1.0.0 shipped. So this was a latent bug the next release would have hit whoever packed it, not a regression the publisher change introduced. Four other corrections, all the same shape — text that described a world with one pnpm publisher: npm-release-info and verify-oidc-context, plus their tests, still called bestax-migrate the exception and referred to "the three packages still publishing through that plugin", a set that is now empty. Those are the two scripts the release docs point at, so the reader who followed the pointer landed on the stalest text in the repo. bestax-migrate/CLAUDE.md sent readers to VERSIONING.md and the publish helper for the guard's rationale. The helper says nothing about the guard; that reasoning lives in require-pnpm-publish.mjs, which the pointer never named. bulma-ui/CLAUDE.md called --access public load-bearing while the helper called it belt and braces. The helper was right: publishConfig.access is set too, so either alone is enough. Removing both is the mistake, and it costs more here than anywhere else because this is the only scoped package. ci.yml claimed there was no npm version left for the publish job to need. @semantic-release/npm keeps its prepare step, which shells out to `npm version` for all four packages, so the job still needs a working npm and setup-node still needs registry-url. What no longer applies is the OIDC version floor. SECURITY.md gains the LICENSE note: no package carries its own, pnpm copies the workspace root's into every tarball where npm shipped none, and a package under different terms would need its own rather than inheriting this one.

**without** `--dry-run` (CI-only, on merge to `main`) and a manual `pnpm publish` — neither of
which is in this list. Every package publishes with `pnpm publish`, and each one's
`prepack` and `prepublishOnly` hooks refuse the publishers they recognise as not being pnpm, so a

unresolved `workspace:` specifier (#412). Both hooks are skipped by `--ignore-scripts`, and neither travels with a
@semantic-release/npm is kept in every chain only for its prepare step, and `npmPublish: false` is what stops it also publishing. Nothing asserted it. Delete that one line and the failure is not an error: npm publishes first, shipping whatever pack-time protocol the manifest holds, which is #412 all over again — and then the exec plugin runs `pnpm publish` against a version already on the registry. Every existing assertion pinned the exec half, so the suite stayed green through it. Now asserted per package, and mutation-checked: removing `npmPublish: false` from the shared helper fails with "must set npmPublish: false, or it publishes twice". release-config.mjs grows a generic pluginOptions(dir, plugin) so the npm plugin can be read the same careful way the exec one already was — all three shapes semantic-release accepts, throwing rather than degrading to `{}` when the shape is unreadable. execOptions and the new npmOptions are thin wrappers. Also drops a PACK_TIME_PROTOCOLS import that stopped being used when packTimeProtocol moved to the shared module. Caught by lint, not by me.
The refusal ended with "Check what it would ship first with `pnpm -C <pkg> pack`". That hook runs with the package root as its cwd, so following the instruction from where the error appears resolves `bulma-ui/bulma-ui` and fails with ENOENT. A recovery line that does not run is worse than none, because it costs the reader a detour before they work out why. It now says `pnpm pack` and names the directory it is speaking from. The two tests that pinned the old wording failed on this change, which is the outcome they were written for.
CONTRIBUTING.md and its docs mirror both named "a manual `pnpm publish`" as a thing that publishes, without the flags that make it correct. pnpm defaults embed-readme to false and ignores publishConfig.provenance, which no package carries any more, so the bare command ships unattested and drops the npm page's README. The prepublishOnly guard already prints those flags at anyone who reaches that path; the docs now agree with it. SECURITY.md said every release carries an attestation, which the flags alone cannot back. Narrowed to what actually holds: releases come from CI and nowhere else, CI passes --provenance, and the guard is what stands between a hand publish and an unattested one.

| # | Severity | Area | Finding | Location |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 🔵 Advisory | Robustness | Tarball contents (the !data/.sync-skills negation, the new root-LICENSE inheritance) are verified only by manual pnpm pack + diff; CI asserts nothing about tarball contents, so a future files/sync-skills change can re-ship build state or drop a file without a red. |
bestax-mcp/package.json:11 |
| 2 | 🔵 Advisory | Robustness | bulma-ui's prepack→postpack pointer-file swap under pnpm publish is the one path #436 never exercised; it relies on pnpm 11.9.0 running postpack. A publish-time restore failure leaves the tree swapped (cosmetic — it's post-tarball, after the release commit). Author verified against a real pack. |
bulma-ui/package.json:41 |
| 3 | 🔵 Advisory | Security | --provenance via OIDC needs each package's trusted-publisher config to exist on npmjs.com; a missing one fails the publish after the commit+tag are pushed, spending the version. De-risked: all three already published via OIDC (that's why the npm pin existed), and bestax-migrate proved pnpm's OIDC exchange specifically — but it's a first live run of pnpm+OIDC for these three. |

Overall: The change is sound and unusually well-defended. The load-bearing move — swapping @semantic-release/npm's publish for npmPublish: false + @semantic-release/exec running pnpm publish — is factored into one shared helper whose emitted publishCmd is byte-identical to what bestax-migrate shipped 2.0.1 with, so the three new packages inherit a command that has already published once for real. The conformance rule and its test now derive the publisher set from the workspace and are mutation-checked (drop --provenance, drop npmPublish: false, drop a guard hook — each fails a named test). The riskiest surface is what CI structurally cannot see: tarball contents. The human should focus there first — specifically re-run pnpm -C bestax-mcp pack and diff the file list to confirm the !data/.sync-skills negation still excludes the state dir (and nothing else) once .sync-skills actually exists at pack time.
Residual risk: the failure class here is "publish a manifest that ships something it shouldn't (an unresolved specifier, or build state)."
- Unresolved pack-time specifier reaching the registry — refuted:
pnpm publishresolvesworkspace:/catalog:, therequire-pnpm-publish.mjsguard is wired to bothprepackandprepublishOnlyon all four packages (conformance-enforced), and it keys onnpm_execpathsopnpm exec npm publishis still caught. Only--ignore-scriptsand pre-packed tarballs escape, both documented. - Shipping build state under a
filesdirectory — refuted for the other movers: create-bestax'ssync-skills.mjsusesemptyDir+ copy with no state dir, and bulma-ui/bestax-migratefilesname no directory that accretes state. bestax-mcp is the only one with thedata/.sync-skillsproblem and it carries the negation — but this is verified by manual diff only (advisory #1). - Version spent on a failed publish — real and accepted: every
prepare(commit+tag) runs before anypublish;verify-oidc-context.mjsonly proves an OIDC context exists, not that npm will accept the token (documented in VERSIONING.md).
🏄 Four release configs that used to each carry sixty lines of the same load-bearing surf wax, now paddling out on one shared board — byte-for-byte the same wave bestax-migrate already caught clean. Guard's watching both the prepack and prepublish breaks, tests bite back when you mutate 'em. Only thing CI can't see is what's actually in the tarball, so give that one a manual once-over before you drop in. Good to go, brah.
The assertion added with the execCwd check used a regex over the raw publishCmd, and its character class excluded whitespace and quotes. The path is shell-quoted, so a checkout under "~/My Projects" or a directory containing an apostrophe puts exactly those characters inside the argument, and the assertion would have failed CI for that contributor with nothing actually wrong. That is the case scripts/lib/shell-words.mjs exists to survive, and the test next to this one already says so about execCwd. So this reads the argument through tokenize and compares its basename, which is what the tokenizer is for. Verified against three checkout shapes: plain, one containing a space, and one containing an apostrophe. The mutation check still holds — pointing bestax-mcp's config at bulma-ui's directory fails with "bestax-mcp: execCwd".

Squash, any single scope e.g. refactor(bulma-ui): |
5.11.2 | none | none | none |
An unscoped refactor matches no releaseRules entry in any of the four configs and falls through to the angular preset, which has no rule for refactor — so it releases nothing. Silently. The PR would merge green and produce zero of the three patches it exists to cut.
A squash cannot produce three independent package releases at all, because a squash commit carries one scope and each package's rules key off that scope. So the three-release outcome requires the individual commits to reach main.
That is what #534 did — 69227ab Merge pull request #534 …, with all 14 of its commits on main individually. This PR is built the same way: three refactor(<pkg>) commits carry the releases, and every shared change is chore/ci/docs, which are release: false in all four configs so they cannot bump anything on their own.
No action needed if you merge as you did #534. Flagging only because the documented default is squash, and squashing here fails quietly rather than loudly.
Also fixed: a false-negative in my own new assertion (4f73f44)
The other suppressed Copilot comment was right. The --dir= assertion I added alongside the execCwd check used a regex whose character class excluded whitespace and quotes — but that path is shell-quoted, so a checkout under ~/My Projects or a directory containing an apostrophe puts exactly those characters inside the argument. It would have failed CI for that contributor with nothing actually wrong, which is precisely the case scripts/lib/shell-words.mjs exists to survive.
Now reads the argument through tokenize and compares its basename. Verified against three checkout shapes — plain, one with a space, one with an apostrophe — and the mutation check still holds.
Deep review
0 blocking, 3 advisory. Its one concrete ask was to confirm the !data/.sync-skills negation still holds once the state directory actually exists at pack time — a sharper framing than my original check. Confirmed:
data/.sync-skills/fingerprint present on disk at pack time
occurrences of sync-skills in the tarball: 0
diff vs published 1.0.0: only "+ package/LICENSE"
The other two advisories are the bulma-ui postpack round trip (verified against pnpm 11.9.0's source and a real pack) and the first live pnpm+OIDC run for these three packages — inherent to the change and unrehearsable, which is what the bestax-migrate 2.0.1 release existed to de-risk.

- The PR description still says npm omitted
.sync-skillswhile pnpm includes it, but this verified note says both packers include dot-directories and 1.0.0 omitted the state only because it did not exist yet. Update the PR description so reviewers and future readers do not attribute this latent packaging bug to the publisher migration.
**This is not a `pnpm publish` behaviour, and an earlier version of this note
said it was.** npm and pnpm both include dot-directories under a `files`
entry; a synthetic package with `files: ["data"]` and `data/.state/x` packs
identically under either. The published 1.0.0 tarball has no `.sync-skills`
only because the state directory did not exist yet — it arrived with #520 on

Closes #532. Follows #436 / #534, which moved bestax-migrate and cut
bestax-migrate@2.0.1as the proof that the OIDC handshake works on this path. That release met every acceptance criterion #532 set, so the prerequisite is done and the other three can move.Merging this cuts three patch releases:
@allxsmith/bestax-bulma@5.11.2,create-bestax@4.1.1,bestax-mcp@1.0.1. Verified by running each config's commit-analyzer against its own last tag. bestax-migrate deliberately gets no release, because its config change is byte-identical in what it produces.What moved
Each of the three swaps
@semantic-release/npmfornpmPublish: falseplus an@semantic-release/execstep runningpnpm publish, wiresscripts/require-pnpm-publish.mjsintoprepackandprepublishOnly, and dropspublishConfig.provenance.The publish command itself now lives once, in
scripts/lib/pnpm-publish.mjs. Four copies of the sixty lines explaining why--provenanceand--embed-readmeare load-bearing is four chances for three of them to go stale. The two plugins are returned as a pair, because they are one decision:npmPublish: falsestops the npm plugin publishing and the exec plugin publishes instead, and wiring one without the other either publishes twice or not at all.The guard's refusal message used to name bestax-migrate's
workspace:devDependency and tell you to runpnpm -C bestax-migrate pack. It now reads the cwd, names the package actually being packed, and quotes a pack-time specifier only when that manifest has one.isPnpmPublishis untouched.The tarballs, diffed against what is published today
This is the part CI cannot check, so each package was packed with pnpm and compared file-by-file against its currently published tarball.
+ LICENSE+ LICENSE+ LICENSEworkspace:^resolved to^5.11.1LICENSEis a gain, not a regression. pnpm takes the workspace-root license for a package that has none of its own, and npm was silently dropping it. The already-published bestax-migrate@2.0.1 proves it, since it carries one.One thing this caught that would otherwise have shipped: bestax-mcp's
filesships all ofdata/, andsync-skills.mjskeeps its fingerprint and lock state indata/.sync-skills/. npm happened to leave that out of the tarball and pnpm does not, so this move would have started shipping build state as product. Closed with a"!data/.sync-skills"negation, after which the file list matches exactly.bulma-ui's
prepack/postpackpair was the one path bestax-migrate never exercised. pnpm 11.9.0 runspostpack(_runScriptsIfPresent(["postpack"])unless--ignore-scripts), and a real pack leaves the working tree clean with no staleCLAUDE.md.bak. The guard runs first in the chain, so a refused pack refuses before it starts swapping files around.The ci.yml change
One step removed, nothing else:
Triggers stay
pushandpull_request. The publish job keepscontents: read/id-token: writeand itsgithub.ref == 'refs/heads/main'gate. No allowlist, action SHA, or verdict path is touched, and the four release steps stay byte-identical, which is the property that makes this safe: how a package publishes is decided by itsrelease.config.js, not here.What the tests now hold
PNPM_PUBLISHEDgains three names. The equality assertion is derived from the workspace rather than restated, so a new publishable package fails the test until somebody decides how it publishes.The npm-publisher fixture needed rethinking. It was
bulma-ui, chosen deliberately as a real undeclared directory so that a rule ignoring the declaration could not pass it. Declaring the last real package left nothing to play that part, so it is now a name that is deliberately not a workspace package, with an assertion keeping it undeclared. That is honest about what the npm branch guards now, which is a package that does not exist yet. The branch stays for exactly that reason.Checked by mutation, since every failure mode here is a silent one:
--provenancefrom the shared command fails withbulma-ui loses provenanceprepublishOnlyguard fails conformance, naming the package and the fixWatch on release
Per package: the OIDC exchange succeeds rather than logging
Skipped OIDC:,npm view <pkg> readmeis populated, anddist.attestations.provenanceexists. That last one is the load-bearing check, since pnpm cannot generate provenance without a successful token exchange;verify-provenancegoing green is not evidence on its own, because it also passes when provenance is simply absent. Also worth a look: the "release is available on" comment renders an npm link rather than a bare tag, and 5.11.2 lands onlatest.Expected in the log and not a fault:
[WARN] Failed to replace env in config: ${NODE_AUTH_TOKEN}. That is pnpm reading the.npmrcactions/setup-nodewrites, with the variable deliberately unset because publishing goes through OIDC.If a publish fails, the version is spent. Every
preparestep, including the release commit and tag, completes before anypublishstep.Summary by CodeRabbit
