# Package Release Runbook

## Build

```bash
make build
```

Equivalent:

```bash
python -m build
```

## Validate distribution metadata

```bash
make check
```

Equivalent:

```bash
twine check dist/*
```

## Test

```bash
make test
```

## Lint

```bash
make lint
```

## TestPyPI

```bash
make publish-testpypi
```

Then test installation from TestPyPI in a clean environment.

## PyPI

```bash
make publish
```

Publishing is deliberately a separate action from building.

## Post-release smoke test

```bash
python -m pip install --upgrade djangoplay-cli
dplay --version
dplay --help
```

Then test against a real DjangoPlay development repository.
