Release
Release a new version of cqs.
Arguments
$ARGUMENTS — version bump type: major, minor, or patch (default: patch)
Process
Pre-flight checks:
git status — must be clean (no uncommitted changes)
gh pr list --state open — review any open PRs. Merge or close before releasing.
cargo test — all tests must pass
cargo clippy — no warnings
Confirm on main branch
Version bump:
Read current version from Cargo.toml
Calculate new version based on bump type
Update Cargo.toml version field
Run cargo check to update Cargo.lock
Docs review:
Run /docs-review. Fix anything stale before cutting the release.
Changelog:
Read CHANGELOG.md
Add new section with version and date
Summarize changes since last release using git log since last tag
Use --body-file for PR body (never inline heredocs)
Wait for CI: powershell.exe -Command 'gh pr checks N --watch'
After PR merge:
Sync main: git checkout main && git pull
Tag: git tag vX.Y.Z
Push tag via PowerShell: powershell.exe -Command 'cd C:\Projects\cqs; git push origin vX.Y.Z'
GitHub Release with pre-built binaries is created automatically by .github/workflows/release.yml
Publish to crates.io: cargo publish
Post-release:
Update PROJECT_CONTINUITY.md with new version
Update ROADMAP.md if phase milestones changed
WSL notes
All git push and gh commands go through PowerShell (Windows has credentials)
Always use --body-file for PR/release bodies — never inline heredocs
Write body content to /mnt/c/Projects/cqs/pr_body.md, use it, then delete
