Release Flow

BrkRaw Viewer uses a PR-based release flow that mirrors the brkraw core:

1. Run the release prep task to create a PR.
2. Review the PR, ensure CI passes, and apply the release label.
3. On merge, a tag is created from the merge commit.
4. The tag triggers GitHub Release creation.
5. When the Release is published, PyPI publish and docs deploy run.

VSCode tasks

• Standard: Release Prep PR (2-step)
• Creates or updates a release prep PR.
• Bumps version, updates contributors, and generates release notes.
• Optional: Release Prep (bump + notes)
• Updates contributors + runs release prep without PR automation.

Release labels

• release: required for tagging on merge.

Notes

• Pre-release tags (a, b, rc) create GitHub pre-releases and skip PyPI.
• Tag must match pyproject.toml version.
