Staged Publishing for NPM Packages

I am so incredibly stoked to see this! It is the piece which can FINALLY make it so Trusted Publishing can be safely used.

This releases a lot of pressure on maintainers, who until now needed to be experts in securing CI infrastructure in order to reduce the risks inherent in TP being a step backwards compared to local publishing with a second factor.

Will it be perfect? No, Im inclined to think nothing is perfectly secure. But I believe this will go a long way towards improving our ecosystem’s posture against at least the attack vectors we are seeing today.
