\`npm install -g npm@latest\` fails mid-upgrade with \`Cannot find module 'promise-retry'\` because the new npm package is partially installed and can't resolve its own internal arborist modules. Documented npm bug. Adding --force makes the install bypass the broken intermediate state. Affects both release.yml (tag-triggered) and publish.yml (manual). This is what blocked the v0.3.1 publish to @latest. Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

Summary
The v0.3.1 release ran successfully through CI + security but failed at npm publish because the npm self-upgrade step crashed:
```
npm install -g npm@latest
→ Cannot find module 'promise-retry'
→ ##[error]Process completed with exit code 1.
```
Documented npm bug: when
npm@latestself-upgrades from[email protected], the partially-installed new package can't resolve its own arborist internals mid-install. `--force` bypasses the broken intermediate state.Changes
release.yml: `npm install -g npm@latest` → `npm install -g npm@latest --force`publish.yml: same fix (also affected)Why this blocks the release
