The publish job runs `pnpm publish` from the workspace root, which has `private: true` — structurally can't succeed since the monorepo conversion. It triggers on `on: release` which fires 5× when changesets creates one GitHub Release per package, producing 5 red X per release. release.yml is the real publish path. v1.x is unaffected: it has its own main.yml in its own tree, and on:release loads workflow YAML from the tagged commit, not the default branch.

Deletes the
on: releasetrigger and the entirepublishjob frommain.yml. 52 lines removed.Motivation and Context
The
publishjob runspnpm publishfrom the workspace root, which has"private": true— it has structurally never succeeded since the monorepo conversion and never will.It triggers on
on: release: types: [published]. When the Version Packages PR merges andchangeset publishcreates 5 GitHub Releases (one per package), this fires 5 times: 5environment: releaseapproval prompts (if configured), ~30 redundant build/test jobs (needs: [build, test, test-runtimes]re-runs CI that already passed on the push), then 5 red X onpnpm publishhittingprivate: true.The packages are already published by
release.ymlvia changesets/action by this point. This is v1-era single-package machinery that never got removed.Also takes out the latent
-beta-not--alphabug in the npm-tag step (reads root package.json which changesets doesn't bump, checks-betabut not-alpha) — currently masked by the enclosing failure but dangerous if anyone copies it.v1.x is unaffected.
on: releaseloads workflow YAML from the tagged commit's tree, not the default branch. v1.x tags point at v1.x commits which have their ownmain.ymlwith the publish job intact (where it works — v1.x root is@modelcontextprotocol/sdk, not private).How Has This Been Tested?
Workflow YAML only — CI validates syntax. Verified no
release:orpublish:strings remain in the file.Breaking Changes
None.
