Pull Request Overview
This PR updates the GitHub Actions release workflow to use OpenID Connect (OIDC) authentication with npm instead of classic npm tokens, aligning with npm's security recommendations. The changes also modernize the Node.js version configuration.
- Replaces NPM_TOKEN secret-based authentication with OIDC authentication
- Updates Node.js version from 20.13.0 to 24
- Simplifies the Husky commit-msg hook

The OIDC authentication requires the NODE_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable to be set for npm publishing. Add NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }} to the env block, or if using provenance-based OIDC publishing without a token, ensure the changesets/action@v1 is configured to use OIDC authentication properly.

Removing the shebang line makes this script non-executable. The file needs #!/usr/bin/env sh at the top to be directly executable by Git hooks.

Add OIDC authentication for npm, based on https://docs.npmjs.com/trusted-publishers#step-2-configure-your-cicd-workflow. This is an attempt to move away from npm classic tokens per https://github.blog/changelog/2025-09-29-strengthening-npm-security-important-changes-to-authentication-and-token-management/
The relevant changes have been made on the npm side (see below).
