# Publishing Aftercare

## One-time setup

1. **npm account** — [npmjs.com](https://www.npmjs.com), enable 2FA, then:

```powershell
npm login
npm whoami
```

2. **GitHub Pages** — after the first push, repo → Settings → Pages → Source: **GitHub Actions**.

3. **npm publish from CI (optional)** — add repo secret `NPM_TOKEN` (Automation token). Releases with tag `v0.1.0` trigger [.github/workflows/publish.yml](../.github/workflows/publish.yml).

## Release checklist

```powershell
# 1. green local build
npm install
npm install --prefix ui
npm run build
npm run doctor:example
npm run build:example
npm pack --dry-run

# 2. bump version in package.json + CHANGELOG.md
# 3. commit + push to main
# 4. create GitHub release (or tag)

# manual publish (if not using the workflow):
npm publish --access public
```

## After first publish

```powershell
npx aftercare@latest init smoke-site
cd smoke-site
npm install
npx aftercare doctor
npx aftercare build
```
