Build task artifacts before marketplace publish

[Copilot]

Release 1.4.163 was published from a clean checkout without restoring the generated task assets, so the VSIX/zip omitted compiled task JavaScript and task-local dependencies. This left tasks like ReplaceTokens unable to resolve azure-pipelines-task-lib at runtime.

• Release publish workflow

  • update Release Publish to use Node 20
  • install root dependencies before publishing
  • run the existing production build path so task packages include compiled .js files and task node_modules

• Packaging behavior restored

  • publish now prepares the same task artifacts expected by the extension package instead of sending source-only task folders to tfx

- name: Setup Node
  uses: actions/setup-node@v4
  with:
    node-version: "20"
    cache: yarn

- name: Install root dependencies
  run: yarn install --frozen-lockfile

- name: Build extension tasks
  run: yarn build-prod

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• app.vssps.visualstudio.com
  • Triggering command: /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/node node /home/REDACTED/work/_temp/ghcca-node/node/bin/tfx extension publish --help (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
