Release workflow for vykar. The CI pipeline lives in .github/workflows/release.yml and triggers on v* tags pushed to main. It builds the release binaries and then publishes a GitHub Release with the artifacts and SHA256 checksums. See .github/workflows/ for the build matrix and the exact set of targets.
Run make pre-commit first to catch formatting, clippy, and test issues before bumping versions. Fix any problems before proceeding.
All nine crates inherit version from [workspace.package], so there are only
two places to update:
Cargo.toml — the version field under [workspace.package]crates/vykar-gui/macos/Info.plist (update both CFBundleVersion and CFBundleShortVersionString)Run cargo check to regenerate Cargo.lock with the new versions.
Commit the version bump (include any other pending changes that should ship). Create a git tag v<version> and push both the commit and tag to origin main. Pushing the tag triggers the release workflow.
git add <changed files> && git commit -m "Bump version to <version>"
git tag v<version>
git push origin main --tags
Use the GitHub CLI to find the triggered workflow run and watch it until all jobs complete:
gh run list --limit 5
gh run watch <run-id> --exit-status
Once the build jobs finish, a publish job downloads the artifacts, generates SHA256 checksums, and creates the GitHub Release via softprops/action-gh-release.
Review all commits since the previous tag:
git log <prev-tag>..v<version> --oneline --no-merges
Categorize the changes into sections (e.g. Features, Performance, Bug Fixes, Infrastructure) and update the release:
gh release edit v<version> --notes "<release notes>"
Include an "Updating" section showing the install command (curl -fsSL https://vykar.borgbase.com/install.sh | sh) with a link to the quickstart guide for other install options, followed by a downloads table listing each platform artifact.

Review Rust codebases for performance anti-patterns, with emphasis on async runtimes, client-server networking, memory allocation, serialization, and concurrency. Use when asked to audit, review, or optimize Rust code for performance.
Review and improve Rust application architecture for large CLI and backup systems, including workspace layout, crate boundaries, error handling, async/sync design, and testing strategy.
