Description

We would like to ensure that TypeScript can provide provenance and publish attestation on npm. This may require some amount of reconfiguration with how TypeScript's builds are created.

@weswigham already has this working on #59013 for nightly builds, but not yet for major releases.

Research direction

Start by reading the implementation described in #59013 for nightly builds, then compare it with the configuration used to create major releases. Done means major TypeScript releases publish npm provenance statements and attestations, not only nightly builds.
