Release

Runs the full Paperclip maintainer release workflow from changelog drafting through npm publish, Docker smoke tests, GitHub Release creation, and announcement follow-up. You'd use this when leadership says "ship the release" or "promote this canary to stable," not for casual version discussions. It enforces Paperclip's commit-driven model where every master push auto-publishes a canary and stable releases are manually promoted from tested commits using date-based versions like 2024.115.0. The precondition checks are thorough, requiring clean working trees, verified candidates, and proper npm credentials. Honestly, this is hyper-specific to one product's release machinery, but if you maintain something with similar canary-to-stable promotion flows, the structure of verification gates, smoke testing, and rollback handling is worth studying.
