ci(repo): improve verdaccio proxy verification with retries

[jacekradko]

Summary

• Improves Verdaccio proxy verification to catch proxy failures early
• Tests multiple packages including update-browserslist-db which caused recent CI failures
• Adds retry logic (3 attempts with 2s delay) for transient network issues
• Fails fast if proxy verification fails instead of just logging a warning

Context

Recent CI failures showed integration tests timing out because Verdaccio's npm proxy wasn't working properly:

ERR_PNPM_FETCH_404 GET http://localhost:4873/update-browserslist-db: Not Found - 404

The previous implementation only logged a warning if proxy verification failed, allowing tests to proceed and fail later with cryptic timeout errors.

Test plan

• CI passes on this PR
• Monitor subsequent PRs for reduced flaky integration test failures

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Enhanced package verification during the release process with configurable retry logic and automatic retry attempts between verification cycles. Expanded verification to validate multiple packages simultaneously rather than single-package verification, improving the consistency of the release build validation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The GitHub Actions workflow file for Verdaccio proxy verification has been updated to test multiple packages instead of a single package. The change introduces a list of three test packages (semver, browserslist, update-browserslist-db) and implements retry logic with configurable maximum retries and delay between attempts. The verification now iterates through each package, attempting to fetch the specified version up to the configured number of times before ultimately failing or succeeding based on all packages passing verification.
