Problem
The release workflow was failing with 404 errors when trying to publish to npm, even though the NPM_TOKEN was configured.
Root Cause
Using
setup-nodewithregistry-urland environment variables wasn't properly configuring npm authentication. The token was never being used (npm token showed "Last used: never").Solution
Manually create
.npmrcfile with the auth token, matching the pattern from the working type-graphql release workflow.Changes
registry-urlfrom setup-node step (causes conflicts).npmrcwith NPM_TOKENThis matches the exact pattern used in the type-graphql manual release workflow that successfully publishes.
Testing
Will be validated when this PR is merged and triggers a release.
