# @elirobinson/tokens comes from GitHub Packages, which the runner has no
# credential for by default. `pnpm config set`, not an echo into ~/.npmrc:
# pnpm 11 keeps its own credential store and only sends tokens from there.
# The length check is because an empty secret produces the same 401 as a
# missing one, and the registry error names neither the secret nor the repo.
