migrate npm publish to OIDC trusted publishing

This commit updates the release workflow to use npm
trusted publishing (OIDC) instead of NPM_TOKEN.
it also adds required job permissions for npm OIDC auth:
id-token: write and contents: read.
Npm publish was kept explicit with --access public.
package.json repository metadata was updated to npm-recommended object format.
