What changed
pnpm release:beta <version>rxjslast, using the maintainer's npm authentication and 2FAWhy
The previous release design added substantial administrative and operational complexity without a proportionate security or usability benefit for the current maintainer model. This restores a small, inspectable release path while retaining deterministic package validation and making npm's interactive authentication the publication boundary.
Impact
After this merges, the first beta can be released from a clean, current
mastercheckout with:The command refuses CI, token-based noninteractive publication, dirty checkouts, divergent
mastercheckouts, invalid beta versions, and unsynchronized package manifests. It supports safe resumption only when an already-published package has identical integrity.No RxJS runtime API, export, type, package-format, or website behavior changes.
