ci: publish to npm via OIDC trusted publishing

[alnr]

⚠️ Do not merge until the npm side is configured

Every published package must first list this repo as a trusted publisher, or the next tag release will fail to publish. On npmjs.com, for each of the seven packages (@ory/cli, @ory/cli-darwin-arm64, @ory/cli-darwin-x64, @ory/cli-linux-arm64, @ory/cli-linux-x64, @ory/cli-win32-arm64, @ory/cli-win32-x64): Settings → Trusted Publisher → GitHub Actions with organization ory, repository cli, workflow filename ci.yaml, environment empty. This is non-breaking to set up in advance — token publishing keeps working alongside.

What changes

• The npm-publish job gets permissions: id-token: write and no longer writes a token to ~/.npmrc; plain npm publish (from npm/publish.js, unchanged) authenticates via OIDC.
• npm install -g npm@11 is added because trusted publishing requires npm ≥ 11.5.1 and node 22 bundles npm 10.
• The NPM_TOKEN_AENEASR secret is no longer referenced.

As a side effect, all seven packages get automatic provenance attestations on npm.

After the first successful OIDC release

• Optionally restrict publishing access on the packages so token publishes are refused.
• Retire the NPM_TOKEN_AENEASR secret here — but check other Ory repos before revoking the underlying npm token.

Note: the trusted-publisher match is exact on repo + workflow filename. If the publish logic ever moves out of ci.yaml, all seven npm-side configs must be updated.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The npm publishing job now uses OIDC trusted publishing with npm 11. It removes NPM_TOKEN_AENEASR authentication and .npmrc generation while retaining the existing release-based publish script.

Changes

npm Publishing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configure OIDC npm publishing .github/workflows/ci.yaml	The workflow grants id-token: write and contents: read, installs npm 11, removes token-based authentication, and continues to run npm/publish.js with the release ref name.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 9e15a

The publishing workflow now depends on OIDC configuration for all seven npm packages, and releases can fail if any trusted-publisher record is missing or mismatched; the workflow also uses an unpinned setup action. Merge should wait until the npm settings are verified and the action reference is pinned.
