Dotta ce7b49e4f1 [codex] Recover duplicate npm provenance canary publishes (#7839)
## Thinking Path

> - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for
work
> - The release workflow publishes canary npm packages on every push to
`master`
> - The failing canary job built successfully and published several
packages before npm failed on `@paperclipai/mcp-server`
> - The concrete failure was npm trusted-publishing provenance returning
`TLOG_CREATE_ENTRY_ERROR` because an equivalent Sigstore
transparency-log entry already existed
> - The package version was not visible on npm afterward, so the release
script could not safely treat that error as success by itself
> - This pull request adds a narrow recovery path for that npm
provenance failure and keeps the existing registry verification as the
final source of truth
> - The benefit is that transient duplicate transparency-log failures do
not break canary publication when a package can be republished without
provenance or is already visible on npm

## Linked Issues or Issue Description

Bug fix, no public GitHub issue found in duplicate search.

- What happened: the Release workflow canary publish failed in
`publish_canary` after npm returned `TLOG_CREATE_ENTRY_ERROR` while
publishing `@paperclipai/mcp-server@2026.609.0-canary.2`.
- Expected behavior: canary publishing should either recover from npm's
duplicate transparency-log failure when the package can still be
published, or fail later in registry verification if the package never
appears.
- Steps to reproduce: inspect
https://github.com/paperclipai/paperclip/actions/runs/27230012891/job/80411422155
from push `05cb18cf28074a6d1074c7575c5a44133146e368`.
- Deployment mode: GitHub Actions Release workflow, npm trusted
publishing.
- Duplicate search: no open PRs or issues found for `canary publish TLOG
provenance release` or the failing run/job IDs.

## What Changed

- Added `publish_package_to_npm` in `scripts/release-lib.sh` to wrap
canary/stable package publishing.
- Detects npm's duplicate Sigstore transparency-log error and checks
whether the package version is already visible on npm.
- Retries that exact package once with `--provenance=false` when npm hit
the duplicate tlog error but the version is not visible yet.
- Keeps unrelated publish failures as hard failures.
- Added shell-helper tests with fake `pnpm` and `npm` commands, and
included them in `pnpm test:release-registry`.

## Verification

- `node --test scripts/release-lib.test.mjs`
- `pnpm test:release-registry`
- Confirmed `pnpm publish --dry-run --no-git-checks --tag canary
--access public --provenance=false` is accepted by pnpm 9.15.4.

## Risks

- Low risk: the recovery only triggers when npm output contains both
`TLOG_CREATE_ENTRY_ERROR` and the duplicate transparency-log message.
- Publishing without provenance is a fallback for canary continuity; if
npm still does not expose the package, the existing registry
verification step still fails the release.
- The same helper is used by stable publishing too, but only for this
exact npm provenance failure path.

with planned core work may need to be redirected — check the roadmap
first. See `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

This is a release reliability bug fix. I checked `ROADMAP.md`; it does
not duplicate planned core product work.

## Model Used

OpenAI Codex coding agent, GPT-5-class model, tool-enabled local shell
and GitHub CLI workflow, medium reasoning mode.
