📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe CLI release workflow stages packages to npm with ChangesCLI staged publishing
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The workflow stages CLI releases through npm approval and adds a cross-repository dispatch step. It is mergeable with explicit release-owner follow-up because the npm CLI version is not deterministic, the dispatch token must be available with the required target-repository permission, and retries after release-creation failures may duplicate approval events.

In @.github/workflows/publish_cli.yml:
- Around line 68-88: The publish workflow must allow approval dispatch recovery
without rerunning npm staging. Update the steps around the npm stage publish
commands and Request npm stage approval so a failed gh api dispatch can be
retried independently while reusing the already-staged candidate, and add a
recovery test covering dispatch failure followed by retry without restaging.
In `@docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-21-cli-staged-publishing.md`:
- Around line 197-206: Update the PR body instructions for Step 3 around the
staged release summary to require the exact sections “Summary (AI generated)”,
“Motivation (AI generated)”, “Business Impact (AI generated)”, and “Test Plan
(AI generated)”, while retaining the existing required content about the
latest/next flow, approval dispatch, local validation, and
NPM_STAGE_DISPATCH_TOKEN.
- Line 13: Fix the Markdown heading hierarchy in the staged-publishing plan by
adding an appropriate ## parent heading for the Task 1, Task 2, and Task 3
sections, or promoting those task headings to ## while preserving the document’s
intended structure.
In `@tests/release-scope.test.ts`:
- Around line 101-138: Strengthen the test around stableSection and nextSection
by asserting each contains working-directory: cli and the expected
NODE_AUTH_TOKEN configuration, rather than searching the entire workflow. Define
a dispatchSection spanning dispatchIndex to releaseIndex, then assert GH_TOKEN
and the dispatch method within that section, while preserving the existing
ordering checks.

In @.github/workflows/publish_cli.yml:
- Around line 19-21: Update the permissions for both publish_cli and

workflow. Preserve the existing explicit secrets used by approve_and_release for
write operations.

workflow iteration by asserting that its producer mappings define both changelog
and from_tag outputs, in addition to validating the comparison expression. Keep
the existing notifications assertions and shared changelog URL behavior
unchanged.

In @.github/workflows/publish_cli.yml:
- Around line 71-72: Pin npm to one exact tested version instead of the caret
range, updating the install command in .github/workflows/publish_cli.yml, the
corresponding plan entries at lines 139-140 and 56, and both contract assertions
in tests/release-scope.test.ts at line 133 so all references match.
Apply the same fix in
`@docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-21-cli-staged-publishing.md` at line 56: The plan
assertion must match the exact workflow version.

by locating the npm install command and the npm stage publish step, then assert
that the install command occurs earlier. Keep the existing presence assertions
and ensure the ordering verifies npm CLI 11.15.0+ is installed before staging.
