# NPM Publish

> Use when publishing this package to npm — a version release (npm publish), verifying the registry/pi.dev listing, or diagnosing npm auth failures (E403 2FA/token errors). Token-based flow via NPM_TOKEN in .env.local with a temp userconfig, the leakage gate before every publish, post-publish verification and marker/badge upkeep. Trigger on "publish to npm", "npm release", "E403 publish error".
