Bump version and trigger release for ralph-orchestrator. All versions live in workspace Cargo.toml - individual crates inherit via version.workspace = true.

Confirm the new version with the user. Once the bump commit is pushed, track progress of the release.

Quick Reference

Step	Command/Action
1. Bump version	Edit `Cargo.toml`: replace all `version = "X.Y.Z"` (7 occurrences)
2. Build	`cargo build` (updates Cargo.lock)
3. Test	`cargo test`
4. Commit	`git add Cargo.toml Cargo.lock && git commit -m "chore: bump to vX.Y.Z"`
5. Push	`git push origin main`
6. Tag	`git tag vX.Y.Z && git push origin vX.Y.Z`

Version Locations (All in Cargo.toml)

# Line ~17 - workspace version
[workspace.package]
version = "X.Y.Z"

# Lines ~113-118 - internal crate dependencies
ralph-proto = { version = "X.Y.Z", path = "crates/ralph-proto" }
ralph-core = { version = "X.Y.Z", path = "crates/ralph-core" }
ralph-adapters = { version = "X.Y.Z", path = "crates/ralph-adapters" }
ralph-tui = { version = "X.Y.Z", path = "crates/ralph-tui" }
ralph-cli = { version = "X.Y.Z", path = "crates/ralph-cli" }
ralph-bench = { version = "X.Y.Z", path = "crates/ralph-bench" }

Tip: Use Edit tool with replace_all: true on version = "OLD" → version = "NEW" to update all 7 at once.

What CI Does Automatically

Once you push the tag, .github/workflows/release.yml triggers and:

Creates the GitHub Release with auto-generated notes
Builds binaries for macOS (arm64, x64) and Linux (arm64, x64)
Uploads artifacts to the GitHub Release
Publishes to crates.io (in dependency order)
Publishes to npm as @ralph-orchestrator/ralph

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Fix
Only updating workspace.package.version	Must update all 7 occurrences including internal deps
Forgetting to run tests	Always `cargo test` before commit
Creating release manually with `gh release create`	Just push the tag - CI creates the release with artifacts
Pushing tag before main	Push main first, then push the tag
