Publish beta packages using --tag="beta"

[KonnorRogers]

@hotwired/turbo-rails always publishes as --tag="latest", when releasing beta builds, it'd be nice if you could do:

npm publish --tag="beta"

so the default NPM behavior doesn't install breaking beta versions for new applications.

Latest breaking build using Bun + Rails new causes an infinite recursion issue.

EDIT: feel free to close as #wontfix but figured it's worth mentioning

+1

But I guess it only really makes sense for the next set of betas, since the current betas are already published as latest and would further add to the confusion.

[KonnorRogers]

Yea. It would be for Turbo 9+, since I'm not sure there's a way to "yank" a tag but keep the release.

It doesn't necessarily need to be Turbo 9, it could also be implemented for something like the 8.1 betas
