npm does not support OIDC authentication — the --provenance flag only adds build attestation, it does not replace token-based auth. Without NODE_AUTH_TOKEN, npm publish returns 404 on the scoped package PUT. Restore the NPM_TOKEN secret reference so the publish step can authenticate to the registry.
