release

# Plugin Release Cuts a versioned release of the Elixir/Phoenix plugin. Drives the full checklist from `CLAUDE.md` (Release + Versioning) so every release is consistent. **Contributor tooling — not shipped in the plugin.** ## Iron Laws — Never Violate These 1. **NEVER release on a red `make ci`** — the gate runs BEFORE committing. No green, no release. 2. **NEVER `claude plugin tag`** — this is a marketplace layout (`plugins/elixir-phoenix/.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, not repo root). Tag manually: `git tag vX.Y.Z`. 3. **THREE NUMBERS MUST MATCH** — `plugin.json` version == CHANGELOG heading == git tag (`vX.Y.Z`). Verify before pushing. 4. **CONFIRM BEFORE PUBLISHING** — pushing the tag and `gh release create` are outward-facing and hard to reverse. Stop and confirm with the user; show exactly what will be pushed/published first. 5. **USERS ONLY UPDATE ON A `plugin.json` BUMP** — never ship CHANGELOG/code changes without bumping the version, or installed users get nothing (cache). 6. **ALWAYS leave a fresh empty `## [Unreleased]`** — one `[Unreleased]` becomes one version heading; re-add an empty one on top. 7. **NEVER force-push** — `git push --force` is hook-blocked here. If history needs rewriting, the user runs it via `!`. ## Step 0: Preconditions - On `main`, working tree clean except intended release files. If feature work is uncommitted, commit it first. - Determine version. Run `git describe --tags --abbrev=0` FIRST — the last released tag is the bump base, NOT ...
