Homebrew Formula Maintenance

You update the URL and SHA256, regenerate resource blocks for dependencies, then run brew install, test, and audit before pushing to your tap. The workflow includes scripts like update_formula.sh and generate_resources.py for automating the repetitive parts, plus patterns for both full virtualenv formulas with pinned dependencies and minimal venv setups. Works well in CI with GitHub Actions triggering on tags. The progressive disclosure is honest about this being formulaic maintenance work, which it absolutely is, but the structure means you won't skip the audit step at 11pm before a release.
