[phryneas]

I've already changed the permissions on npm side:

  "type": "github",
  "file": "publish.yml",
  "repository": "apollographql/apollo-client-integrations",
  "permissions": [
    "createStagedPackage"
  ],
  "package": "@apollo/client-integration-tanstack-start"
}
{
  "type": "github",
  "file": "publish.yml",
  "repository": "apollographql/apollo-client-integrations",
  "permissions": [
    "createStagedPackage"
  ],
  "package": "@apollo/client-integration-react-router"
}
{
  "type": "github",

  "repository": "apollographql/apollo-client-integrations",
  "permissions": [

  ],
  "package": "@apollo/client-integration-nextjs"
}
{
  "type": "github",

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR adds a staged publishing shim to the release workflow. A new bash wrapper script intercepts npm publish calls and rewrites them to npm stage publish. The publish workflow is updated to prepend this wrapper to PATH before running changesets, and Node.js is upgraded from 24.x to >=26.3.0.
