 ### Dependencies

+- Added an OpenSSF Scorecard workflow. It grades the repository's supply-chain practices and publishes the score to the public Scorecard API, so a third party computes the number rather than us. ([#412](https://github.com/qBraid/pyqasm/pull/412))
 - Switched PyPI publishing from a long-lived `PYPI_API_TOKEN` repository secret to trusted publishing. The publish job now mints a short-lived OIDC credential scoped to that one workflow, and the action attaches PEP 740 attestations recording the repository, workflow and commit SHA behind each uploaded file. Attestations apply to releases published after this merges, not retroactively. ([#411](https://github.com/qBraid/pyqasm/pull/411))
 - Fixed the pre-release build stamping a version that `pyqasm.__version__` and the package metadata spelled differently. `pre_build.sh` wrote `1.1.0-a.0` into `pyproject.toml`, setuptools normalized that to `1.1.0a0` for the metadata, and `_version.py` kept the raw string, so `pip show pyqasm` and `pyqasm.__version__` disagreed and `test_sdist.sh` failed its version check. The stamped version is now normalized to PEP 440 before it is written. ([#414](https://github.com/qBraid/pyqasm/pull/414))
 - Fixed the pre-release workflow publishing its source distribution under the released version instead of the pre-release one. `build_sdist.sh` ran `git reset --hard` and `git clean -xdf`, which discarded the `pyproject.toml` version that the preceding step had just stamped, so a run that built `1.1.0a0` wheels built a `1.1.0` sdist and PyPI rejected it as a duplicate. `pre_build.sh` already resets the tree, so the second reset is gone. It also no longer destroys uncommitted work when the script is run locally. ([#413](https://github.com/qBraid/pyqasm/pull/413))
