How CLI Publishing Works

Build privately, publish publicly — a simple, transparent release flow.

1. Build

Tag version in CLI repo and compile supported platform targets.

2. Package

Create tar.gz/zip archives and generate checksums for artifacts.

3. Publish

Copy files to /releases/<tag>/, update latest.txt, publish to PyPI and Homebrew.

4. Serve

GitHub Pages, PyPI, and Homebrew stay aligned with the same tagged release.
