 ### Release
 
-Fully automated version management and package publishing via [semantic-release](https://github.com/semantic-release). It bumps the version according to conventional commits, publishes the package to npm and release a new version to GitHub.
+> [!IMPORTANT]  
+> Manual releases are not supported to ensure consistency and security, see: <https://docs.npmjs.com/trusted-publishers>
