Description

When having private modules until they get public the whole publish setup has to be done with a granular token, because trusted publishing is not possible with private packages. Although it may not be necessary it's makes it really hard to use. Also pnpm doesn't automatically pull in the latest npm makeing it not work except for node 24.

Research direction

Start by reading the documentation sections covering trusted publishing, private packages, and CI authentication. Check the current npm and pnpm behavior across the referenced Node versions. Done means the supported authentication path and private-package limitations are clearly documented, or the request is routed to the implementation project if documentation alone cannot address it.
