When one package fails to publish, the release job now still rewrites the release notes and pins Latest for the packages that did publish.

What happened in 2.33.0

Run 39043309174 (attempt 1) published evlog@2.33.0, @evlog/cli@0.11.0 and @evlog/telemetry@0.3.5, then failed on @evlog/signals@0.2.1 (E404: the package had no npm Trusted Publisher yet). Because the publish step failed, every later step was skipped:

failure	Create Release PR or Publish
skipped	Push tags
skipped	Rewrite release notes and mark evlog Latest

So the three releases kept changesets' default ### Minor Changes / ### Patch Changes bodies. The re-run published Signals and only rewrote that one release, since it only covers what it publishes. The other three were rewritten by hand afterwards.

Why the fix works

The pinned changesets/action (v1.9.0, src/index.ts) sets the outputs for the packages that did publish before it exits with the error:

if (result.published) {
  core.setOutput("published", "true");
  core.setOutput("publishedPackages", JSON.stringify(result.publishedPackages));
}

if (result.exitCode !== 0) {
  core.error(`Publish command exited with code ${result.exitCode}, but some packages were published: …`);
  process.exit(result.exitCode);
}

The failed run shows that message: Publish command exited with code 1, but some packages were published: @evlog/cli@0.11.0, evlog@2.33.0, @evlog/telemetry@0.3.5.

The two steps after it now use !cancelled() && steps.changesets.outputs.published == 'true' instead of the implicit success(). They run for whatever reached npm, and the job still fails, so the broken package stays visible.

       - name: Push tags
-        if: steps.changesets.outputs.published == 'true'
+        if: ${{ !cancelled() && steps.changesets.outputs.published == 'true' }}
 …
       - name: Rewrite release notes and mark evlog Latest
-        if: steps.changesets.outputs.published == 'true'
+        if: ${{ !cancelled() && steps.changesets.outputs.published == 'true' }}

AGENTS.md also says that a new package needs GitHub Actions added as its Trusted Publisher on npmjs.com before its first CI release, since CI cannot check that setting ahead of time.

Testing

• actionlint .github/workflows/release.yml: exit 0.
• Not run: the changed condition only fires on a real publish that partly fails, so it cannot be exercised on a PR.

No changeset: CI and docs only.

ELI5: when several packages are released together and one of them fails, the others still get their tidy release page on GitHub, and evlog still keeps the "Latest" badge.
