npm trusted publishing minimum npm version 11.5.1 Node.js 22.14.0 official documentation

💡 Result:

According to the official npm documentation, trusted publishing requires npm CLI version 11.5.1 or later and Node.js version 22.14.0 or higher [1][2]. These versions are established as the minimum requirements for the feature to function correctly [3][4]. Key implementation details regarding these requirements include: - Version Enforcement: If you use an older version of the npm CLI, the publish command will not automatically fall back to the legacy token authentication flow; instead, it will fail, often with an authentication error [3][5]. - CI/CD Configuration: Many standard cloud CI/CD runner images (such as older GitHub Actions or GitLab CI/CD environment defaults) may ship with earlier versions of npm [3][6][5]. Consequently, it is often necessary to explicitly upgrade the npm CLI within your workflow file (e.g., using npm install -g npm@latest) before running your publish command to ensure the required 11.5.1+ version is present [7][5]. - Feature Purpose: Trusted publishing uses OpenID Connect (OIDC) to authenticate your package publishing process [2][8]. This eliminates the need for long-lived npm tokens and automatically generates provenance attestations for public packages [8][9]. For organizations or users utilizing tools that automate their CI/CD, verify that the environment used for the publishing job satisfies both the npm and Node.js minimums [10][4]. If you are working within a workflow, pinning your node-version to a version that includes these dependencies or adding an explicit installation step is the recommended approach to avoid version-related failures [3][6].

site:github.com/actions/setup-node node-version lts/* latest LTS documentation

💡 Result:

In the context of GitHub Actions, specifically within the actions/setup-node action, lts/* is a version specifier alias that instructs the action to use the latest available Long-Term Support (LTS) version of Node.js [1][2]. Important technical considerations for using lts/: 1. Default Caching Behavior: By default, the action prioritizes locally cached versions of Node.js on the runner environment to minimize workflow execution time [3]. Because these runner images are updated on a schedule, lts/ may resolve to a version that is several days (or occasionally longer) behind the most recent LTS release [4][5][3]. 2. Ensuring the Latest Version: To ensure your workflow uses the absolute latest available LTS version and bypasses the runner's local cache, you must set the check-latest input to true [4][3]. Example configuration: - uses: actions/setup-node@v4 with: node-version: lts/* check-latest: true 3. Best Practice: Official documentation and contributors note that using non-exact aliases like lts/* can lead to unpredictable delays in receiving security patches or new features [5]. For production environments or workflows where timely updates are critical, it is recommended to use a specific, pinned Node.js version (e.g., 22.17.1) rather than a dynamic alias [1][5].

Pin the npm and Node.js versions used for trusted publishing.

npm@11 and node-version: "lts/*" select moving versions. Trusted publishing requires npm CLI 11.5.1 or later and Node.js 22.14.0 or later. Pin both versions and fail before publishing when either requirement is not met.

In @.github/workflows/release.yml at line 43, Update the trusted publishing
workflow to pin npm to version 11.5.1 or later instead of the floating npm@11
tag, and pin node-version to Node.js 22.14.0 or later instead of lts/*. Add
validation before the publish step that fails when either the active npm or
Node.js version is below these minimums.
