npm has recently limited the lifetime of all access tokens to 90 days (https://gh.io/npm-token-changes), so it would be a bit inconvenient to stick to our current access token-based method of publishing releases. Meanwhile npm has implemented a more secure publishing method based on OIDC in which you tell the registry that a particular GitHub Actions workflow should be a "trusted publisher" for a given package, and then the CLI will authenticate automatically. (https://docs.npmjs.com/trusted-publishers) I've already set it up on the registry side. Let's see if this works next time we release.
