Release Automation (Packaging & Publishing)

This tutorial shows how to build a wheel and prepare a release using hatchling and twine, and how to integrate this into CI.

Steps:

1. Build a wheel locally:

python -m build --wheel

2. Verify the package:

python -m pip install dist/ciri-copilot-*.whl

3. Upload to PyPI using twine (use API token stored in CI secrets):

twine upload dist/* -u __token__ -p $PYPI_API_TOKEN

CI recommendations:

• Use GitHub Actions with job matrix for platforms and Python versions
• Use actions/setup-python and cache pip
• Use pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish or twine with secrets
