Bump the project version, update documentation, create a git tag, and publish a GitHub release.

• Version argument is REQUIRED (e.g., $bump 0.4.0)
• Should be on main branch (warn if not, but proceed)
• gh CLI must be authenticated
• Dirty working tree is allowed — uncommitted changes will be included in the release commit

Phase 1: Validate

1. Check version argument:

   • If no version provided, STOP and ask: "Please provide a version (e.g., $bump 0.4.0)"
   • Version must be valid semver (e.g., 0.4.0, 1.0.0-beta.1)

2. Check git status:

   bash
   1git status --porcelain

   • If there are uncommitted changes, WARN the user but proceed anyway — these changes will be staged and included in the release commit.

3. Check current branch:

   bash
   1git branch --show-current

   • Warn if not on main branch (but allow to proceed)

4. Get current version:

   bash
   1node -p "require('./package.json').version"

Phase 2: Extract Changelog from Git Commits

CRITICAL: Do NOT use placeholder text like "Version bump". Extract real changes from git commits.

1. Get commits since last version tag:

   bash
   1git log v<previous_version>..HEAD --oneline --no-merges

2. For each meaningful commit, examine changes:

   bash
   1git show --stat <commit_hash>
   2git diff v<previous_version>..HEAD -- <key_files>

3. Categorize changes into Keep a Changelog format:

   • Added: New features, capabilities, or files
   • Changed: Modifications to existing behavior, enhancements, updated defaults
   • Fixed: Bug fixes, error corrections
   • Removed: Removed features or code
   • Deprecated: Features marked for future removal
   • Security: Security-related changes

4. Write specific, detailed changelog entries:

   • Describe WHAT changed and WHY (from user perspective)
   • Include concrete details (e.g., "timeout increased from 120s to 300s")
   • Reference specific configuration changes, default values, etc.
   • ONLY use "Version bump" if literally nothing changed (empty git diff)

Phase 3: Update Files

3.1 Update package.json

Use the Edit tool to update the version field in package.json:

• Change "version": "<old>" to "version": "<new>"

3.2 Update CHANGELOG.md

Read CHANGELOG.md and make these changes:

1. Find the ## [Unreleased] section

2. If there are entries under [Unreleased]:

   • Insert a new version section after ## [Unreleased]:

     ## [<version>] - <YYYY-MM-DD>
     

   • Move all content from [Unreleased] to the new version section
   • Leave [Unreleased] empty (just the header)

3. If [Unreleased] is empty:

   • Insert a new version section with the changes extracted from git commits (Phase 2)
   • Use the categorized changelog entries from Phase 2
   • Example:

     ## [<version>] - <YYYY-MM-DD>
     
     ### Added
     - Feature 1 with specific details
     - Feature 2 with configuration changes
     
     ### Changed
     - Specific change with old → new values
     - Configuration update with details
     

4. Update the version links at the bottom:

   • Update [Unreleased] link: [Unreleased]: https://github.com/GeoloeG-IsT/agents-reverse-engineer/compare/v<version>...HEAD
   • Add new version link after [Unreleased]: [<version>]: https://github.com/GeoloeG-IsT/agents-reverse-engineer/compare/v<previous>...v<version>

3.3 Check README.md (Optional)

Scan README.md for any hardcoded version references that need updating:

• Badge URLs
• Installation commands with specific versions
• Only update if explicitly version-pinned (not @latest)

Phase 4: Commit and Tag

1. Stage all changes (including any pre-existing dirty files):

   bash
   1git add -A

2. Create commit:

   bash
   1git commit -m "$(cat <<'EOF'
   2chore: release v<version>
   3EOF
   4)"

3. Create annotated tag:

   bash
   1git tag -a v<version> -m "Release v<version>"

Phase 5: Push and Release

1. Push commit and tag:

   bash
   1git push && git push --tags

2. Create GitHub release: Extract the changelog section for this version and use it as release notes:

   bash
   1gh release create v<version> --title "v<version>" --notes "$(cat <<'EOF'
   2<changelog section for this version>
   3EOF
   4)"

Phase 6: Report

Summarize what was done:

• Version bumped: <old> → <new>
• Files updated: package.json, CHANGELOG.md, (README.md if changed)
• Git tag: v<version>
• GitHub release: link to the release

Remind user: The GitHub Actions workflow will automatically publish to npm when the release is created. </execution>
