PR Review: Trusted Publisher for Production SDK

Review Checklist:

  • Analyze the workflow file changes
  • Assess code quality and best practices
  • Check for potential bugs or issues
  • Evaluate performance considerations
  • Review security concerns
  • Consider test coverage implications

Summary

This PR removes the NODE_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable from the npm publish step in the manual publish workflow, which appears to be a migration to npm's trusted publishing feature.

Detailed Review

🔍 Changes Analysis

The PR removes these 2 lines from .github/workflows/manual-publish.yml:

env:
  NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}

✅ Code Quality and Best Practices

  • Good: Adopting trusted publishing is a modern best practice for npm package publishing
  • Good: The change aligns with the preview-publish workflow which also doesn't use NODE_AUTH_TOKEN
  • Concern: The PR lacks a description explaining the change and its implications

🐛 Potential Bugs or Issues

  • Critical: The workflow is missing id-token: write permission which is required for OIDC-based trusted publishing
  • Issue: Without proper permissions, the npm publish command will fail with authentication errors
  • Note: The main-publish workflow still uses NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, creating inconsistency across workflows

🚀 Performance Considerations

  • No performance impact - this is an authentication mechanism change

🔒 Security Concerns

  • Positive: Trusted publishing is more secure than using long-lived secrets
  • Positive: Eliminates the need to store and rotate npm tokens
  • Risk: The incomplete setup could cause production publish failures

🧪 Test Coverage

  • No test-related changes needed for this authentication update

📋 Recommendations

  1. Add required permissions to enable trusted publishing:

    permissions:
      contents: write
      packages: write
      id-token: write  # Required for OIDC authentication
  2. Verify npm package configuration:

    • Ensure your npm package has trusted publishing configured at npmjs.com
    • The GitHub repository and workflow name must match the trusted publisher configuration
  3. Consider updating all workflows:

    • For consistency, migrate main-publish.yml to trusted publishing as well
    • Document the authentication strategy in the repository
  4. Add PR description explaining:

    • Why this change is being made
    • Confirmation that trusted publishing is configured on npm
    • Any testing that was performed

🚨 Action Required

This PR will likely fail to publish without the id-token: write permission. Please add the missing permission before merging to avoid breaking the manual publish workflow.

PR Review: Trusted Publisher for Production SDK

Review Checklist:

  • Read and analyze the workflow file changes
  • Check for repo-specific guidelines (CLAUDE.md)
  • Review code quality and best practices
  • Identify potential bugs or issues
  • Evaluate performance considerations
  • Assess security concerns
  • Consider test coverage implications
  • Provide comprehensive feedback

Summary

This PR removes the NODE_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable from the npm publish step and deletes the main-publish.yml workflow, appearing to migrate to npm's trusted publishing feature. However, the implementation is incomplete and will fail.

Critical Issues Found 🚨

1. Missing Required Permission

The manual-publish.yml workflow lacks the critical id-token: write permission required for OIDC-based trusted publishing:

permissions:
  contents: write
  packages: write
  # MISSING: id-token: write  ← Required for trusted publishing

Without this permission, the npm publish command will fail with authentication errors.

2. Inconsistent Implementation

  • The preview-publish.yml workflow already has id-token: write permission (line 212)
  • This inconsistency suggests the manual workflow wasn't properly updated

3. Deleted main-publish.yml

The PR deletes the entire main-publish.yml file (119 lines). Was this intentional? This might remove automated publishing capabilities.

Code Quality Assessment

✅ Good Practices

  • Moving to trusted publishing is a security best practice
  • Eliminates need for long-lived npm tokens

❌ Issues

  • No PR description explaining the changes
  • Incomplete migration leaving the workflow broken
  • No verification that trusted publishing is configured on npm

Security Considerations 🔒

Positive

  • Trusted publishing is more secure than token-based auth
  • Reduces secret rotation overhead
  • Limits token exposure

Risks

  • Broken publish workflow could block releases
  • Missing configuration steps not documented

Performance & Test Coverage

  • No performance impact (authentication change only)
  • No test coverage changes needed

Recommended Actions

  1. Fix the permission in manual-publish.yml:
permissions:
  contents: write
  packages: write
  id-token: write  # Add this line
  1. Verify npm configuration:

    • Ensure @base44/sdk package has trusted publishing enabled on npmjs.com
    • GitHub repository and workflow names must match npm configuration
  2. Add PR description explaining:

    • Why main-publish.yml was deleted
    • Confirmation that npm trusted publishing is configured
    • Any manual testing performed
  3. Consider keeping automation:

    • If main-publish.yml provided automated releases, consider updating it instead of deleting

Conclusion

This PR will break the manual publish workflow without the id-token: write permission. Please add the missing permission and verify npm configuration before merging.
