Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js.

It looks like you haven't ran this workflow with the release step. If you don't want to publish an actual release, there are ways to use release-it to run a pre-release, draft, etc.

https://github.com/release-it/release-it/blob/HEAD/docs/configuration.md#configuration
https://github.com/release-it/release-it/blob/HEAD/config/release-it.json#L39C11-L39C11

[btusakul-sift]

Is there a reason why the step to perform the release is commented out? Sounds like the release should actually run as part of this workflow?

[btusakul-sift]

Why do we run git push? I don't see that step in the release runbook

[btusakul-sift]

Based on the runbook, it looks like the npm run release command will ask for a TOTP to authenticate for NPM. Does this --yes flag work around that?
