fix(ci): remove npm@latest upgrade in release workflow - #405
Merged
Conversation
The release workflow ran `npm i -g npm@latest` before installing dependencies, silently picking up whatever npm CLI version was newest each run. A recent npm release added a new default restriction (EALLOWGIT) blocking git-protocol dependencies, breaking `npm i` for this repo's semantic-release-github-pullrequest devDependency (a git fork reference) and blocking every release since. Nothing here requires a specific npm version (no engines.npm pin, lockfileVersion 3 works with any npm >=7), so just drop the forced upgrade and let actions/setup-node's bundled npm run the install.
