Cut and publish a codeweb release end-to-end — prep the version/changelog file ecosystem, land it on main, push the vX.Y.Z tag, and let the tag-triggered workflow publish the GitHub Release. Use when asked to "cut a release", "tag a release", "publish vX.Y.Z", "do the release", or "ship version X".

# codeweb release runbook A release is three moves: **prep the files → land on main → push the tag**. The tag push triggers `.github/workflows/release.yml`, which publishes the GitHub Release server-side with notes sliced from `CHANGELOG.md` — so the whole flow works from ANY environment, including ones with no `gh` CLI and no GitHub-release API access (remote agent sessions). Never commit to `main` directly; never push a tag until its release commit is ON `main`. ## When to cut — don't wait to be asked Releasing is the DEFAULT next step after user-visible work merges to main, not something to note for later. The maintainer should never have to say "cut it." - Feature work merged, CI green, `[Unreleased]` carries user-visible value → cut a **minor** the same day. An accumulating `[Unreleased]` section is a smell. - Fix-only `[Unreleased]` → **patch**. - A breaking CLI/tool contract → **major** (pre-1.0: minor, with a loud changelog note). - Docs/CI/site-only changes → don't tag; let them ride along with the next real release. - Unsure between two bumps? The changelog decides: any `### Added` entry = minor. After merging a feature PR, finish the job: prep → land → tag → verify, then report the release URL. Only hold off if the maintainer has said to batch, or main is red. ## 0. Preconditions - CI green on `main`; working tree clean. - `npm test` passes locally (the full suite — the count grows release to release; a handful of environment skips are fine: golden-target
