# Release

Final step in the release pipeline. Assumes `release-gate` has already passed and the target version has been decided.

This skill follows the **prep-PR pattern**: version bump + CHANGELOG + walkthrough ship as one atomic PR. The tag is applied **after merge**, pointing at the merged commit. Never use a tool that bumps and tags in one step (`npm version`, `bun version`, `hatch version --tag`) — they tag immediately and skip the CHANGELOG and walkthrough entirely.

The workflow is a single linear pass — run the phases in order:

0. Read the plan → 1. Prep branch → 2. Version bump → 3. CHANGELOG → 4. Walkthrough → 5. Build, commit & open PR → **(merge)** → 6. Gate, then tag → 7. Push tag → 8. Release notes → 9. Deploy → 10. Verify
