Release Checklist

Versioning

• Bump version in Project.toml (next valid version after latest registry release).
• Keep semver meaning explicit in release notes.
• If breaking, include "breaking" in Registrator release notes.

Compatibility

• Keep [compat] entries upper-bounded for all dependencies and julia.
• Ensure test-only deps in [extras] also have compat bounds.

Artifacts and Data

• Verify every URL in Artifacts.toml is reachable from CI/clean environments.
• Confirm each artifact hash matches the hosted payload.
• Avoid relying on untracked local data/ directories for release behavior.

Validation

• Pkg.test() passes on minimum supported Julia (1.10) and latest stable.
• Aqua.test_all passes.
• Docs build passes (julia --project=docs docs/make.jl).

Registry and Automation

• Ensure TagBot and CompatHelper secrets are configured (DOCUMENTER_KEY).
• Trigger Registrator from the intended commit/tag.
• Verify General PR checks pass before merge.
