fix(release): trust-setup.sh --relink for the recreated repo

[t3dotgg]

npm binds a trusted publisher to the repo's GitHub ID at the first publish ("The first successful publish validates the configuration and binds it to the repository's immutable identity", docs.npmjs.com/trusted-publishers). 0.1.0-preview.2 was published from the old repo, which is now the private archive. So the next publish from the recreated pingdotgg/ts-rust will likely be refused, even though the name matches.

npm/trust-setup.sh --relink reads each package's trusts with npm trust list --json, revokes them with npm trust revoke --id, then creates the new ones as before. npm/README.md says to run it before the next release.

Note

Add --relink option to npm/trust-setup.sh for recreated repository

• First publish binds trust to the repository's GitHub ID, so the recreated repository needs new trusts. The new --relink flag lists each package's existing trusts, revokes each one (2-second delay between revocations), then continues the existing validation and creation flow.
• Without --relink, trust validation and creation behavior is unchanged.
• Updates README.md to document the repository recreation date and the --relink pre-release command.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added an option to replace existing npm trusted publishing connections before setting up new ones. Existing connections are revoked during this process.
• Documentation
  • Clarified that trusted publishing is linked to both the repository name and GitHub identity. Guidance now recommends relinking before the next release after the repository was recreated.
