How does trusted publishing (OIDC) work?

[nicolo-ribaudo]

#6898 and #6911 added support for publishing to npm through OIDC, however I cannot find any docs on how to actually do it.

I tried following what the npm docs say (https://docs.npmjs.com/trusted-publishers#step-2-configure-your-cicd-workflow), but I'm getting this error:

YN0000: │ Error while publishing [object Object]:
  Error: No authentication configured for request

How do I tell yarn that the authentication that it's meant to use is OIDC?

Actually, I realized that this is probably my fault 😅 Given that I'm publishing with a custom plugin, do I need to do anything more than this?

Oh, those annoying users that submit bug reports without actually updating to the version that added support for the feature they are trying to use...
