- package.json: private:false; real repository.url; publishConfig.registry →
coulomb Gitea npm; lit dependency → peerDependency (^3) + devDependency;
ship the ir/ consumer contract (files + ./ir/* export); add PUBLISHING.md to files.
- .npmrc: real @whynot scope registry + ${NPM_AUTH_TOKEN} ref (no secret committed).
- PUBLISHING.md: publish flow, token routing (operator/OpenBao — warden route is not
in this CLI), and consumer install.
- README: registry-install path + lit peer note. CHANGELOG: Added/Changed entries.
Config + packaging validated via `npm pack --dry-run` (ir/, tokens, CSS, PUBLISHING.md
included; .npmrc excluded). Actual `npm publish` + install-verify is gated on a Gitea
NPM_AUTH_TOKEN (operator-owned) and an explicit outward-publish go-ahead.

Publishing @whynot/design
@whynot/design is published to the coulomb Gitea npm registry so consuming
repos can pin a version (npm i @whynot/design@x.y.z) and track it at their own pace
(WHYNOT-WP-0003). The git tag cut by make release (see DesignSystemIntroduction.md
§6) is the version; publishing makes that version installable.
- Registry:
https://gitea.coulomb.social/api/packages/coulomb/npm/ package.jsonpublishConfig.registryalready pointsnpm publishhere.litis a peerDependency — consumers install it themselves so their bundler dedupes to a singlelitinstance.
The token (never commit it)
Publishing and installing @whynot/* need a Gitea package token. It is not stored in
this repo — per .claude/rules/credential-routing.md, tokens are routed, not vended:
a Gitea package token is operator/OpenBao-owned (railiance-platform). Obtain one from
the operator and export it:
export NPM_AUTH_TOKEN=… # Gitea package token; never paste into git/chat/logs
.npmrc (committed) references it via ${NPM_AUTH_TOKEN} — no secret lives in the file.
Publish (maintainer)
git checkout main && git pull --ff-only
make release VERSION=x.y.z # bumps, cuts CHANGELOG, commits, tags (§6)
git push --follow-tags origin main
npm publish # uses publishConfig.registry + NPM_AUTH_TOKEN
npm publish is outward and immutable — a published version cannot be silently
replaced. Confirm the tag and npm pack --dry-run contents first.
Install (consumer)
Add an .npmrc to the consuming repo so the @whynot scope resolves to the registry,
then install the package plus the lit peer:
# .npmrc
@whynot:registry=https://gitea.coulomb.social/api/packages/coulomb/npm/
//gitea.coulomb.social/api/packages/coulomb/npm/:_authToken=${NPM_AUTH_TOKEN}
npm i @whynot/design@x.y.z lit
The installed package carries the consumer-facing contract under ir/ (component
contracts, tokens.json, exemplars) reachable via the ./ir/* export — that is what
the drift check (WHYNOT-WP-0003 T05) reads to report changes between versions.
