v0.18.4 - Release Procedure Tooling (2026-03-05)

What Changed?

This release adds release procedure tooling to Taskfile.yml and documents the release workflow in CLAUDE.md. A new push:release task wraps the glab release create command, and the step-by-step release procedure is recorded as comments in Taskfile.yml and as a section in CLAUDE.md. No library code was changed.

What's New

Main Feature: push:release task and release procedure documentation

What it does:

  • task push:release -- vX.Y.Z creates a GitLab release using glab, with release notes read from docs/releases/vX.Y.Z.md
  • The release procedure (steps 0–5) is documented in both Taskfile.yml (as comments) and CLAUDE.md (as a section under Version Management Policy)

How to use it:

# Step 0: preview version bump
task bump:check

# Step 1: bump version (only when explicitly requested)
task bump:patch

# Step 2: create and fill in release notes
task docs:release -- vX.Y.Z

# Step 3: update mkdocs.yml navigation and commit all files

# Step 4: push tags
task push:tags

# Step 5: create GitLab release
task push:release -- vX.Y.Z
