- name: Install a working npm (bundled npm in Node 22.22.2 is broken)
# Node 22.22.2 ships with an npm install that is missing the
# `promise-retry` dependency, so `npm install -g npm@latest` fails
# with MODULE_NOT_FOUND before it can upgrade itself. Use corepack
# to install a known-good npm version that supports OIDC trusted
# publishing.
# with MODULE_NOT_FOUND before it can upgrade itself. Corepack's
# `prepare --activate` stages a new npm in the corepack cache but
# does not actually replace the npm binary in the PATH that this
# shell sees (it prints the old version). Instead, download the
# npm@11.6.0 tarball directly and extract it over the broken
# bundled install. npm 11.6.0 supports OIDC trusted publishing.
