Release Process ​

This page captures the practical release flow for Tauren contributors.

Before release ​

  1. Review CHANGELOG.md and move relevant Unreleased entries into the release section.
  2. Run compile and tests.
  3. Package the extension.
  4. Install the VSIX locally and smoke test the sidebar.

Useful commands ​

Compile everything:

sh
npm run compile

Run tests:

sh
npm test

Build and install a local VSIX:

sh
npm run install:local

Run the release script:

sh
npm run release

Manual checks ​

At minimum, verify:

  • sidebar opens,
  • Pi starts and model metadata refreshes,
  • a prompt streams text,
  • Stop works during a response,
  • session list opens,
  • session diff opens after a file edit,
  • settings open,
  • extension custom UI still renders if the release touched bridge code.

Documentation checks ​

For docs changes:

sh
npm run docs:build
git diff --check

The docs site is deployed to GitHub Pages by .github/workflows/docs.yml after changes are pushed to main.
