Release Process

Steps

1. Create release branch: git checkout -b release/vX.Y.Z

2. Bump version in Cargo.toml, run cargo check (syncs Cargo.lock)

3. Update CHANGELOG.md: Rename ## Unreleased to ## X.Y.Z with release date. Verify all entries have correct PR links.

4. Dry-run publish: run cargo publish --locked --dry-run and check output for extraneous files

5. Commit: git commit -m "release vX.Y.Z"

6. Push and create PR: Target main, title chore(release): X.Y.Z

7. After PR merge (user confirms):

   Copygit checkout main && git pull --ff-only
   git tag vX.Y.Z && git push origin vX.Y.Z
   

8. Publish: cargo publish --locked
