Walkthrough

The pull request modifies the Node.js publish release workflow to remove explicit NPM token authentication. The workflow deletes the NPM_TOKEN secret from the workflow inputs and removes the corresponding NODE_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable in the publish step. The npm publish command retains the --provenance flag, which authenticates using GitHub's OpenID Connect (OIDC) token instead of a separate secret credential.
