What changed
Root cause
The CLI candidate was packed, validated, published/reused, and passed isolated upgrade acceptance, but npm returned E403 for dist-tag deletion. Treating temporary tag deletion as release-critical marked acceptance as failed and could also block Git tag/GitHub Release creation after a successful latest promotion.
Impact
Temporary rc run tags may remain if npm denies deletion, but candidate acceptance and formal promotion are no longer falsely blocked. Adding the requested final dist-tag remains mandatory.
Validation
Local full script tests have 8 unrelated Windows-only failures involving symlink privileges, POSIX execution bits, and path separators. Repository lint also sees the Windows checkout CRLF line endings across the tree; Linux CI remains the authoritative full verification.
