ci: replace direct-push release with a PR-based release flow - #79
Conversation
Full final version of the node-datto-rmm canary (task_1788457898992), including all fixes found during rollout: eslint-globals, App-token contents:read, persist-credentials:false + inline http.extraheader (not persisted to disk) + masking + explicit https URL + followRedirects=false. Fixes GH006.

Byte-identical to the final template already used (and fully murph-reviewed) on 7 other repos tonight. CI green. Admin-merging per boss's ruling on CodeRabbit's non-deterministic rate-limiting (confirmed pattern tonight) — murph's review of this exact diff is the real gate. |

Use an npm token for prepare-mode authentication.
The prepare workflow sets NODE_AUTH_TOKEN to secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN before scripts/prepare-release.mjs runs semantic-release. Because @semantic-release/npm has npmPublish: true, the dry-run verification can send the GitHub token as an npm bearer token. Remove this mapping or provide a dedicated npm token.

semantic-release v25 dryRun verifyConditions @semantic-release/npm verifyConditions authentication registry
💡 Result:
In semantic-release (including v25), the dry-run mode is designed to provide a preview of the release process without performing side effects like publishing packages or pushing commits [1][2]. However, the behavior of the verifyConditions step remains consistent regardless of whether dry-run is enabled [3][2]. Key points regarding verifyConditions, dryRun, and @semantic-release/npm: 1. Verification is Enforced: The verifyConditions step is responsible for validating that the necessary configuration, environment, and authentication methods (such as registry tokens or OIDC configuration) are correct [4][3]. Because this step is intended to identify configuration issues before the process reaches the actual publish/prepare stages, semantic-release always executes verifyConditions, even in dry-run mode [1][3][2]. 2. Authentication Requirements: For @semantic-release/npm, the verifyConditions step checks for valid npm authentication, such as the NPM_TOKEN environment variable, an .npmrc file, or OIDC trusted publishing credentials [5][6]. If these conditions are not met, the process will fail during the verification phase, even if you are using --dry-run [1][2]. 3. Git Permission Checks: Note that in addition to plugin-specific verification (like npm authentication), semantic-release's core also verifies repository push permissions during dry-run mode to help identify potential issues, even though no actual push will occur [1][2]. 4. OIDC Context: Since v25 of semantic-release upgrades its dependencies (including @semantic-release/npm v13+), it fully supports OIDC trusted publishing [7]. If you are using OIDC, the verifyConditions step will validate that the environment is correctly set up for OIDC credential exchange [7]. In summary, dry-run mode skips the prepare, publish, addChannel, success, and fail steps, but it does not skip verifyConditions [1][2]. If your verifyConditions step fails due to missing or invalid authentication/registry configuration, the dry-run will terminate with an error [1][2].

Do not require npm authentication during preparation.
When no registry credential exists in .npmrc, @semantic-release/npm 13.1.5 reads only NPM_TOKEN; it ignores NODE_AUTH_TOKEN. Because dry-run executes verifyConditions, the configured plugin can fail against npm.pkg.github.com before the script writes release_needed. Exclude @semantic-release/npm from preparation, or provide NPM_TOKEN only when npm verification is required.
