DeepChat Release

Overview

Follow the repository-specific DeepChat release process. Prepare release metadata on dev, keep CHANGELOG.md concise, and publish through the documented fast-forward flow instead of merge commits on main.

Start With Repo State

Inspect git state before changing anything:

• Check the current branch and working tree.
• Check whether release/<version> exists locally or on origin.
• Check whether v<version> exists locally or on origin.

If a local or remote tag already exists on the wrong commit, stop and ask before replacing it.

Choose The Release Mode

Pick the mode that matches the user's request and current git state:

1. prepare metadata Update package.json, CHANGELOG.md, and the release notes commit on dev.
2. cut release branch Create release/<version> from the release-ready commit on dev and push it.
3. update existing release branch Use this when the release branch already exists but metadata changed afterward. Commit on dev, move release/<version> to the new dev commit, and force-push only the disposable release branch.
4. publish Use this only after the release PR is approved. Fast-forward main, create the version tag on the same commit, push the tag, and then delete the temporary release branch.

Use references/release-checklist.md for exact commands.

Update Release Metadata

When preparing a release on dev:

• Update package.json to the target version.
• Add a new CHANGELOG.md section at the top.
• Summarize only user-visible or release-relevant changes since the previous tag.
• Prefer deriving the notes from recent commits or the diff since the previous release tag.
• Do not create SDD folders for pure release metadata, branch, tag, or release PR work.

For v1.0.1 and later, format changelog entries in this order:

## vX.Y.Z (YYYY-MM-DD)
- English bullet
- English bullet
- 中文条目
- 中文条目

Use the current local date in YYYY-MM-DD form. Preserve older changelog sections unless the user explicitly asks to rewrite them.
