release

Release Process

See docs/publishing-a-release.md for full details.

Steps

1. Ensure you're on develop with latest changes. Stash any unsaved work with git stash -u if needed.
2. Run yarn changelog (use yarn changelog | pbcopy to copy output).
3. Decide on a version per semver. Check the top of CHANGELOG.md for the current version.
4. Create branch prepare-release/VERSION off develop.
5. Update CHANGELOG.md — add the new version entry with the changelog output. See the "Updating the Changelog" section in docs/publishing-a-release.md for formatting details. Do not remove existing entries.
6. Commit: meta(changelog): Update changelog for VERSION
7. Push the branch and remind the user to open a PR targeting master.
8. If you were on a different branch, checkout back and git stash pop if needed.
