**`@ultimat3/scraping` is on the registry, and it was the last publication hole.** It was bootstrapped
by hand at 2.0.0 on 2026-08-19 — `npm publish --access public --provenance=false`, the one-time step
every package needs before a trusted publisher can attach — and npm now answers `E403 … cannot
publish over the previously published versions: 2.0.0` on a retry. `@ultimat3/flags` was the same
shape and was closed the same way at 2.0.0. Publication is a step apart from versioning; the publish
list is **derived** from `scripts/list-workspaces.ts`, which is what keeps a new package from being
silently absent from it. Step 1 of [`PUBLISHING.md`](PUBLISHING.md) comes due again for the next
package added after a release run, and nothing else.

**3.0.0 is a major** because a five-agent bug sweep landed breaking changes to documented APIs:
`mfa.required` refused and narrowed to the literal `false`, `enrolTotp(auth, input)`, `appErrorStatus`
removed, `SocketRegistry.sweepIdle()` → `idle()`, `SyncSocket.lastSeenAt` → `lastSeenMonotonicMs`,
two `SQL_OUTBOX_*` constants gaining a parameter, `DESCRIPTION_MIN_LENGTH` deleted, and a metric
redeclared with different bounds now refused. The 3.0.0 section of [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md)
carries **10** entries marked `BREAKING —` and ships no codemod, so each one is a manual edit its own
entry names. 2.0.0 was the **first** major and carried 33.

**Every package has an OIDC trusted publisher, re-attached 2026-08-19 with the environment set.**
`developerz-ai` / `ultimate` / `release.yml` / environment `npm-publish`, publish permission, all 30,
verified per package with `npx -y npm@12 trust list <pkg> --json` — `npm trust` shipped in **npm 12**
and Bun's bundled npm answers it as an unknown command, which is why `scripts/trust-publishers.ts`
pins the runner. That attachment is what let [`.github/workflows/release.yml`](.github/workflows/release.yml)
publish 3.0.0: 30 tarballs, each attested, `_npmUser: GitHub Actions`.
**A lightweight tag is not a release trigger, and `--follow-tags` will not push one.** `v4.0.0` was
first created with a bare `git tag v4.0.0`; `git push --follow-tags` pushed the commit, said nothing,
and left the tag local — `--follow-tags` pushes **annotated** tags only. The GitHub Release could
then not be created against a ref the remote did not have. `git tag -a` is the only form
[`PUBLISHING.md`](PUBLISHING.md) writes, for this reason.

**There are no publication holes, and `scripts/registry-audit.ts` is what keeps it that way.**
`@ultimat3/scraping` was the last one, bootstrapped by hand at 2.0.0 on 2026-08-19 —
`npm publish --access public --provenance=false`, the one-time step every package needs before a
trusted publisher can attach — and npm now answers `E403 … cannot publish over the previously
published versions: 2.0.0` on a retry. `@ultimat3/flags` was the same shape and was closed the same
way. Publication is a step apart from versioning, so the two can disagree silently: the audit runs
in CI and files a `registry-drift` issue when they do, which is exactly what it did during 4.0.0's
release window while the publish sat behind the `npm-publish` environment gate (issue #221, closed
when the run finished). The publish list itself is **derived** from `scripts/list-workspaces.ts`,
which is what keeps a new package from being silently absent from it. Step 1 of `PUBLISHING.md`
comes due again for the next package added after a release run, and nothing else.

**4.0.0 is a major** because a sweep to close every known gap landed breaking changes to documented
APIs. The 4.0.0 section of [`CHANGELOG.md`](CHANGELOG.md) carries **25** entries marked `BREAKING —`
and ships no codemod, so each one is a manual edit its own entry names — [`wiki/Upgrading.md`](wiki/Upgrading.md)
walks them. The shape of the sweep: things **declared and never wired** were either wired or deleted
(`PrecacheAsset.critical`, `realtime.heartbeatMs`, `CaptureOptions.timeoutMs`, `PERIODIC_SYNC_TAG`,
`requiresApp`), and things that **answered the wrong thing** were corrected (`on delete` reaching
the generated SQL, `in` with a non-array operand, `t.date` accepting an offsetless date-time,
`isValidCron` accepting an unsatisfiable day/month pair, a local disk's signed URLs carrying the
driver kind rather than the registered disk name). 2.0.0 was the **first** major and carried 33;
3.0.0 carried 10.

**Every package has an OIDC trusted publisher.** `developerz-ai` / `ultimate` / `release.yml` /
environment `npm-publish`, publish permission, all 30, verified per package with
`npx -y npm@12 trust list <pkg> --json` — `npm trust` shipped in **npm 12** and Bun's bundled npm
answers it as an unknown command, which is why `scripts/trust-publishers.ts` pins the runner. That
attachment is what let [`.github/workflows/release.yml`](.github/workflows/release.yml) publish
3.0.0 and then 4.0.0: 30 tarballs per release, each attested, `_npmUser: GitHub Actions`.

**The `npm-publish` environment needs a human to approve the run.** The release workflow reaches
`waiting` and publishes nothing until a named reviewer approves the pending deployment — the last
point at which an irreversible publish can be stopped. `gh run view <id>` reports `waiting`, not a
failure.

**2.0.0 is the one release with no provenance**: no publisher was attached, so the OIDC exchange had
nothing to verify against, the workflow could not publish, and 2.0.0 went out by hand —
`_npmUser: sebyx07`, no `dist.attestations`, where 1.1.0, 1.2.0 and 3.0.0 carry both. Not "for the
first time" — this file said that until 2026-08-19 and `CHANGELOG.md`'s 3.0.0 header still does:
1.1.0 and 1.2.0 published under **earlier** publisher configurations, one per package, and

"for the first time" — this file said that until 2026-08-19 and `CHANGELOG.md`'s 3.0.0 header still
does: 1.1.0 and 1.2.0 published under **earlier** publisher configurations, one per package, and
`npm view @ultimat3/core@1.2.0 _npmUser.trustedPublisher` answers an `oidcConfigId` that differs from
3.0.0's. What is new on 2026-08-19 is that all 30 carry a publisher **and** carry
`Environment: npm-publish` with it. 1.0.0 was the manual bootstrap.
3.0.0's. 1.0.0 was the manual bootstrap.

Semver applies — a breaking change to a documented API needs a major, and the eight primitive shapes,
the `x` CLI surface and the tier table are as stable as the `X_*` codes already were.
