The Release Flow

To cut a release, follow the below steps:

1. Message the Slack #std and Discord #dev-std channels "🔒 std is locked".

2. Trigger version_bump action with main branch selected.

3. Wait for @denobot to create a release PR. Note: the tool automatically calculates the necessary version upgrades.

4. Review PR, and update it if necessary.

5. Land the PR.

6. Tag the main branch with release-YYY-MM-DD (this step can be automated in the future):

   git tag release-YYYY.MM.DD
   git push origin release-YYYY.MM.DD
   

7. Publish the tag from github UI (Re-check the tag is in correct form).

8. Wait for workspace publish action to publish the new versions to JSR.

9. Message the Slack #std and Discord #dev-std channels "🔓 std is unlocked <url_of_release>".
