#8276) In order to stop docs-only hotfixes from triggering unwanted npm patch releases, this PR adds `yarn refresh-assets --force` before the `getAnyPackageDiff()` check in `publish-patch.ts`. ### Root cause PR #8204 added `.yarn/install-state.gz` to the CI cache. When Yarn determines that the install state hasn't changed (e.g. `node_modules` is already populated and no dependencies changed), it [skips lifecycle scripts](https://yarnpkg.com/advanced/lifecycle-scripts) including `postinstall` ([related discussion](yarnpkg/berry#5924)). This means the `postinstall` hook (`husky install && yarn refresh-assets`) never runs. Without `refresh-assets`, the gitignored asset directories in `@tldraw/assets` (`embed-icons/`, `fonts/`, `icons/`, `translations/`) don't exist on disk. The `getAnyPackageDiff()` guard runs `yarn pack` which produces a tarball missing these dirs (14 files), while the npm-published tarball has them (265 files) — always finding a diff, always publishing. **Before #8204 (working):** PR #8102 docs hotfix cherry-picked to v4.4.x — publish-patch skipped correctly, no version bump. **After #8204 (broken):** PRs #8263 and #8270 docs hotfixes cherry-picked to v4.5.x — both triggered unwanted npm publishes (v4.5.1 and v4.5.2). ### Why this approach Considered three options: 1. **Remove `install-state.gz` from cache** — doesn't actually help; Yarn skips postinstall based on dependency changes, not just the state file 2. **Add `refresh-assets` to the setup action** — overkill; lazyrepo already auto-runs it as a dependency of `build`, `build-types`, and `dev` 3. **Add `refresh-assets` to `publish-patch.ts`** — targeted fix matching what `trigger-sdk-hotfix.ts` already does (line 98) Option 3 is the right call. `publish-patch.ts` is the only workflow confirmed broken — everything else is protected by either lazyrepo's dependency graph or explicit `refresh-assets` calls in the workflow YAML. ### Change type - [x] `bugfix` ### Test plan Verified locally: 1. Removed asset dirs to simulate CI with warm cache (no postinstall) 2. `yarn pack` on `@tldraw/assets` → 14 files 3. Ran `yarn refresh-assets --force` 4. `yarn pack` again → 265 files On a release branch with only docs changes, `getAnyPackageDiff()` should now return `null` → "No packages have changed, skipping release" → no publish. ### Code changes | Section | LOC change | | -------------- | ---------- | | Config/tooling | +4 / -0 |
