Summary

  • Follow-up to the .npmrc-write-before-npm-ci finding (CWE-250-adjacent) from the fleet sweep in task_1789563353272_00410174, on the two repos (node-huntress, node-mimecast) that were blocked on their sibling CWE-250 PRs (fix(ci): stop persisting a write-scoped git credential through npm ci #43/deps-dev(deps-dev): bump the dev-dependencies group across 1 directory with 3 updates #44, now merged) before this fix could apply.
  • The release job wrote the write-scoped GITHUB_TOKEN into .npmrc before npm ci/build. This package has zero @wyre-ai dependencies, so install/build never needed registry auth — the token sat on disk for no reason, readable by any compromised dependency lifecycle script.
  • Moved the .npmrc write to immediately before npx semantic-release, the one step that needs it. Same pattern already shipped on node-auvik/freshdesk/inforcer/meraki/saas-alerts.
  • No merge requested — per standing fleet policy this and sibling fixes are batched for Aaron's review.

Test plan

  • Workflow syntax valid (no step-order/needs changes beyond moving the one step)
  • Zero @wyre-ai deps confirmed via package.json (install/build genuinely don't need the token)
  • Next real release on this repo exercises the new step order end-to-end

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated the release process so dependency installation and the application build finish before package-publishing authentication is configured.
    • This changes the sequence of release steps; no changes to application features or behavior are included.

…efore install

The release job's "Configure npm for GitHub Packages" step wrote the
write-scoped GITHUB_TOKEN into .npmrc before npm ci and build. This
package has zero @WYRE-AI dependencies (it is the published package,
not a consumer of the registry), so install/build never needed that
auth -- the token sat on disk, readable by any compromised dependency
lifecycle script, for no reason. Moved the .npmrc write to immediately
before the one step that needs it.

Follow-up to the node-huntress#43 CodeRabbit finding (persist-credentials
fix, already merged) -- that PR fixed the checkout credential, this one
fixes the separate .npmrc-write-before-install exposure flagged in the
same fleet sweep.

⚠️ Hold on merging: this repo is one of 17 node-* repos currently hitting GH006: Protected branch update failed on semantic-release's tag push to main (branch-protection/ruleset change missing a semantic-release exemption). Merging this now would trigger a Release run that fails the same way. Tracked in task_1791001189201_70253138 (forge, priority=high, with boss). Safe to merge once that's resolved.

- Line 88: Update the “Configure npm for GitHub Packages” step to pass
secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN through the step’s env and reference GITHUB_TOKEN in the
shell command that writes the npm auth token to .npmrc, rather than
interpolating the secret directly into the run script.
