Releasing

Release notes source

• GitHub Release notes come from CHANGELOG.md for the matching version section (## X.Y.Z - YYYY-MM-DD).
• Keep ## Unreleased at the top (empty is fine).

Steps

1. Update CHANGELOG.md
   • Move entries from Unreleased into a new ## X.Y.Z - YYYY-MM-DD section.
   • Credit contributors (e.g. thanks @user).
2. Ensure CI is green on main
   • pnpm lint
   • pnpm test
   • pnpm format (optional, if formatting changes are expected)
3. Tag and push
   • git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "vX.Y.Z"
   • git push origin vX.Y.Z

What happens in CI

• .github/workflows/release.yml builds a macOS release binary and uploads imsg-macos.zip.
• After assets upload, the workflow updates the GitHub Release body using the CHANGELOG.md section for X.Y.Z.
