Release

Automates the entire release ceremony: pre-flight validation, changelog generation from git history, semver bumping across package files, release commit, annotated tag, and curated release notes. Everything stays local and reversible until you push. It won't publish artifacts or trigger CI, that's deliberate. The post-push exact-SHA verification step is smart, it blocks you from calling a release done until CI goes green on the tagged commit. Two-audience output is the real win here: technical changelog for contributors, plain-English release notes for users. Dry-run mode and check-only mode make it safe to experiment. If your release process involves more than three manual steps, this will pay for itself immediately.
