- * Auto-publish to local Verdaccio registry if available.
- * This script is run automatically after `npm run build`.
- *
- * If Verdaccio is running at localhost:4873, the package will be published there.
- * If Verdaccio is not running, the script silently exits (no error).
- *
- * The script unpublishes the current version first (if it exists) to allow
- * republishing the same version with updated code during local development.
