Version Bump & Release Workflow

IMPORTANT: Plan and write detailed release notes before starting.

CRITICAL: Commit EVERYTHING (including build artifacts). At the end of this workflow, NOTHING should be left uncommitted or unpushed. Run git status at the end to verify.

Preparation

1. Analyze: Determine if the change is PATCH (bug fixes), MINOR (features), or MAJOR (breaking).
2. Environment: Identify repository owner/name from git remote -v.
3. Paths — every file that carries the version string:
   • package.json — the npm/npx-published version (npx claude-mem@X.Y.Z resolves from this)
   • plugin/package.json — bundled plugin runtime deps
   • .claude-plugin/marketplace.json — version inside plugins[0].version
   • .claude-plugin/plugin.json — top-level Claude-plugin manifest
   • plugin/.claude-plugin/plugin.json — bundled Claude-plugin manifest
   • .codex-plugin/plugin.json — Codex-plugin manifest
   • openclaw/openclaw.plugin.json — OpenClaw plugin manifest
