// Prepare a lading release. Updates CHANGELOG.md, bumps version in Cargo.toml, updates Cargo.lock, commits, and creates a PR.
Environment validation checklist. Run this FIRST when starting a new Claude session to verify the environment is ready for optimization work. Checks Rust toolchain, ci/ scripts, build, benchmarking tools, profilers, memory tools, git state, and SMP CLI.
Coordinates optimization attempts. Captures baselines, implements changes, invokes review, and records outcomes.
Reviews optimization patches using a 5-persona peer review system. Requires unanimous approval backed by benchmarks.
Full optimization workflow with git branch creation, commits, and optional PR. Wraps /lading-optimize-hunt with git automation.
Finds a valid optimization target in lading. Returns a filled target.yaml template with pattern, technique, target, file, bench, and fingerprint. Use before /lading-optimize-hunt or when selecting a new optimization target.
