The NuGet API keys expired on 2026-11-01 and nuget.org now caps new keys at 30 days. This switches the release job to NuGet Trusted Publishing: the job exchanges a GitHub OIDC token for a short-lived API key via NuGet/login, so there is no stored key to rotate.

The matching Trusted Publishing policy (owner NosCore, repo NosCoreIO/NosCore.Networking, workflow dotnet.yml) is already active on nuget.org.

Once this is merged and a tag publishes successfully, the NUGET_API_KEY repo secret and the expired nuget.org key can be deleted.

• Chores
  • NuGet package releases for matching version tags now use updated publishing authentication. This changes the release process without affecting the package’s functionality.

restore, build, and pack work in the `Pack and push to NuGet` flow, then push
the already-packed artifact using the login step’s `NUGET_API_KEY`. Preserve the

Walkthrough

The release workflow adds a conditional NuGet login step. The NuGet push uses the API key output from that step instead of the repository secret.

Changes

NuGet release authentication

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configure NuGet release authentication .github/workflows/dotnet.yml	The release job grants id-token: write. For matching tags, it runs the pinned NuGet login action with user 0Lucifer0. The NuGet push uses the action’s NUGET_API_KEY output.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 9f3a0

The authentication change is mergeable with bounded follow-up: unusually slow packaging could expire the publishing key. Obtaining the key after packaging avoids that recoverable release failure.

Move the NuGet login to run just before the push.

The NuGet/login key is valid for about one hour. The Pack and push to NuGet step runs restore, build, and pack before dotnet nuget push, so a slow packaging phase can expire the key. The push then fails, and the release job fails. Moving the login after pack limits the key's age at push to seconds.
