From principled-release
Release strategy for the Principled framework. Consult when working with changelogs, release readiness checks, version bumps, release plans, or tag operations. Covers changelog format conventions, semver bump heuristics, pipeline reference resolution, and the release lifecycle.

Use before new versions.
Automates releases for projects using Keep a Changelog and GitHub: bump detection, CHANGELOG promotion, merge to main, tag, and GitHub Release with a single confirmation gate.
Manages git project releases: creates milestones, generates roadmaps, executes 9-stage pipeline with submodule support, closes releases. Yolo mode enables autonomous runs.
