Release checklist

1. Ensure the released abbr2words>=0.2.4 prerequisite containing the structured currency identities is available from the target package index.

2. Create an annotated Git tag such as v0.2.2 only after all release gates pass.

3. Install a clean environment with python -m pip install -e ".[dev]".

4. Run python -m pytest.

5. Run python -m ruff check . and python -m ruff format --check ..

6. Run python -m mypy spokenform examples.

7. Build with python -m build.

8. Validate distributions with python -m twine check dist/*.

9. Build docs with sphinx-build -W -b html docs docs/_build/html.

10. Test wheel installation and the spokenform console command in a fresh environment.

11. Confirm the release workflow uses a PyPI trusted publisher when repository OIDC is configured; otherwise verify the configured API token without changing authentication on release day.

12. Publish the GitHub release only after all required checks pass.

13. Before a downstream kokorog2p release raises its spokenform minimum, publish the spokenform release and verify the real de, es, and fr integration gates against released packages.

The publish workflow deliberately remains operator-triggered by a published GitHub release. PyPI Trusted Publishing/OIDC is the preferred future mechanism because it avoids long-lived API tokens, but migrating credentials is a separate operational change that must be tested before a release is cut.
