release safety

rules for running releases in this monorepo.

rules

• NEVER add --skip-checks unless user explicitly says "skip checks"
• NEVER add --skip-tests unless user explicitly says "skip tests"
• if checks or tests fail, FIX THE ISSUES instead of skipping
• ask user before adding any skip flags
• the point of checks is to catch problems before publishing

when things fail

1. read the error output carefully
2. fix the underlying issue
3. re-run the release
4. do NOT just skip the failing step

common flags

safe flags:

• --canary - publish canary version
• --ci - run in ci mode
• --dirty - allow dirty working directory
• --build-fast - faster builds

dangerous flags (require explicit permission):

• --skip-checks - skips type checking
• --skip-tests - skips test suite
• --skip-build - skips building packages
