description	Release a Dev Container Feature from this collection. Covers version bump, release notes, root README table sync, tests, commit, and OCI publish. Use when the user runs /release, says "release", "publish feature", "bump version", "ship this feature", or asks to cut a new feature version after changes in src/<feature-id>/.

Release Feature

Ship a new semver of one or more Features in this repository (sliekens/devcontainer-features). Do not use marketplace plugin-release workflows (no plugin.json, no external sync-readme-structure).

Step 0 — Identify the feature

If the feature id is not stated, infer from recent edits under src/ and test/. If still ambiguous, ask.

Confirm paths exist:

• src/<feature-id>/devcontainer-feature.json
• src/<feature-id>/install.sh
• src/<feature-id>/README.md (must have ## Release Notes)
• test/<feature-id>/ (tests expected for any behavioral change)

Step 1 — Detect what changed

git status
git diff HEAD -- "src/<feature-id>" "test/<feature-id>" README.md

Classify the bump (semver for this Feature only):

Change	Bump
Breaking options, install contract, or default behavior consumers rely on	major
New capability, new option, meaningful default/behavior change	minor
Bugfix, docs-only, test-only, wording
