Release Checklist

1. Update the release version locally:

   • bump package.json
   • update CHANGELOG.md

2. Run local verification before tagging:

   yarn install
   yarn build
   yarn test
   yarn test:types
   yarn test:browser
   yarn coverage
   yarn benchmark:ci

3. Review README performance claims against benchmarks/README.md.

4. Review persistence schema changes and migration notes.

5. Confirm docs/compatibility.md still matches runtime support.

6. Commit the version and changelog changes to main.

7. Push main, then create and push a matching release tag:

   git push origin main
   git tag v1.3.0
   git push origin v1.3.0

   The tag must match the package.json version exactly, with a leading v.

8. Confirm the tag-triggered release flow completed:

   • Release
   • API Docs, dispatched by Release with the release tag

9. Smoke test the published package:

   npm view travels version
   npm pack travels --dry-run
