Motivation

  • The release and post-release verifier previously unpacked the npm tarball and created manual symlinks to bin/nightward.mjs, which bypasses the package.json bin mappings users actually receive and weakens the supply-chain check.

Description

  • Replace the manual tar -xzf/ln -s steps in scripts/verify-npm-release.sh with npm install --global --prefix "${prefix}" --ignore-scripts --no-audit "${tmp_dir}/${tarball}" so the script verifies npm's real bin-linking behavior while keeping safer flags.

Testing

  • Ran bash -n scripts/verify-npm-release.sh to validate shell syntax and the updated verification logic, which succeeded.

Closing as superseded by #40, which merged the npm bin-mapping release-verifier fix along with the consolidated security fixes. This branch also has a failing DCO check, so keeping it open would only add noise.
