Description

Even though I pass a token to libnpmpublish, I get 404/429 errors when I try to publish a package. I've tried a variety of types of tokens to no avail. How do I get this to work?

Research direction

Start by examining how libnpmpublish receives and uses the supplied token, then reproduce the reported publish attempt and its 404/429 responses. Compare the token types tried and identify the expected authentication behavior; done means publishing works with a documented token configuration or the failure is explained and reproducible.
