description	Release a new version. Bumps version in Cargo.toml and flake.nix, commits, tags, publishes to crates.io, and pushes. Usage: /release 0.2.2

Release

Automate the full release flow for this Rust + Nix project.

Usage

/release <version>

Example: /release 0.2.2

Workflow

The argument is the new version string (e.g. 0.2.2). If no version is provided, ask the user.

Execute these steps sequentially. Stop and report if any step fails.

1. Validate

• Confirm the working tree is clean (git status --porcelain should be empty, ignoring .beads/).
• Confirm the version argument looks like semver (e.g. X.Y.Z).

2. Bump versions

Update the version string in both files:

• Cargo.toml: the version = "..." line under [package]
• flake.nix: the version = "..."; line

Use the Edit tool for both (parallel).

3. Update lockfile

cargo build

This regenerates Cargo.lock to match the new version.

4. Commit and tag

git add Cargo.toml Cargo.lock flake.nix
git commit -m "chore: bump version to <version>"
git tag v<version>

5. Publish

cargo publish

6. Push

git push && git push --tags

7. Report

Tell the user the release is complete with the version and crates.io package name.
