📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The release-please workflow was modified to use a pinned npm version (11.10.0) for publishing instead of globally upgrading npm first. The global npm upgrade step was removed and the publish command now explicitly invokes the specific npm version via npx.

Poem

🐰 A version pinned so neat and tight,
No global upgrades in the night,
With npx we invoke with care,
Release workflows, crisp and fair! ✨
