Release

Usage

/release patch / minor / major — semver bump from current version
/release 0.2.0 or /release 0.2.0-rc.1 — exact version

Workflow

1. Preflight

git branch --show-current        # must be main
git status --porcelain            # must be clean
git fetch origin main && git rev-parse HEAD && git rev-parse origin/main  # must match

Stop and report if any check fails.

2. Determine version

patch / minor / major: strip any prerelease suffix from current package.json version, then bump (e.g. 0.1.0-rc.1 + patch = 0.1.1)
Exact version (e.g. 0.2.0, 0.3.0-rc.1): use as-is

3. Determine npm tag

Check the latest stable (non-prerelease) version published on npm: npm view antiox versions --json
If the target version has a prerelease suffix (contains -): use --tag rc
If the target version is stable and greater than the current latest stable on npm: use --tag latest
If the target version is stable but older than the current latest on npm: stop and warn the user (this would move the latest tag backwards)

Show the user: current version, target version, npm tag. Ask to confirm.

4. Build and test

pnpm build
pnpm check-types
pnpm test

Stop if any step fails.

5. Bump version

Update version in package.json to the target version.

6. Commit, tag, push

git add package.json
git commit -m "release: v<version>"
git tag v<version>
git push origin main
git push origin v<version>

7. Trigger GitHub release workflow

gh workflow run release.yml -f version=<version> -f npm-tag=<latest|rc>

This dispatches the release.yml workflow, which checks out the tag, builds, publishes to npm, and creates a GitHub release.

8. Report

Show the user: final commit hash, tag, and the link to the triggered workflow run.

Rules

Never skip git checks unless the user explicitly asks.
Never force-push.
Always build + test before publishing.
Never publish to npm locally; always use the GitHub release workflow.
If anything fails, stop and report — do not retry automatically.
