Tend release workflow. Use when user asks to "do a release", "release a new version", "cut a release", or wants to publish a new version to PyPI.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Release Workflow

## Steps

1. **Record the release target, then sync and validate**: Name the PR or merge commit(s) this release must ship. A bootstrap release made only to restore CI or review does not complete a separate pending change; that change needs its own release after it merges. Fetch and bring the long-lived `release` branch to `origin/main` (`git merge origin/main`, or `git reset --hard origin/main` when it has no commits to preserve), then verify every target with `git merge-base --is-ancestor <commit> HEAD`. Run `wt test` and `uv tool run pre-commit run --all-files`. Record `HEAD` as the cut-from commit for step 9.
   For a Codex model or CLI change, apply **Nightly: update the Codex model** in `.claude/skills/running-tend/SKILL.md` before publication.
2. **Check current version**: Read `version` in `generator/pyproject.toml`
3. **Review commits**: `git log <last-version>..origin/main --oneline` to understand scope — against `origin/main` (not `HEAD`), so the range is the full set of commits this release ships even if step 1 was skipped
4. **Confirm version with user**: Present changes summary and proposed version

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add max-sixty/tend/release@sha256:b80bbc9121e077a1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.e9e9d01, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
