## 🚀 Manual Steps Required

The following steps must be performed manually by the maintainer:

### Step 1: Create Git Tag

```bash
git tag v0.2.0
git push origin v0.2.0
```

**Purpose:** Mark this commit as the official v0.2.0 release

### Step 2: Create GitHub Release

1. Go to: https://github.com/Quynah/Ape/releases/new
2. Select tag: `v0.2.0`
3. Release title: `v0.2.0 — Module System & Standard Library`
4. Copy the **GitHub Release Text** section from `RELEASE_NOTES.md`
5. Optionally attach the wheel and sdist files
6. Click "Publish release"

### Step 3: Publish to PyPI

**IMPORTANT:** Only run when ready to make public!

```bash
# Verify packages exist
ls dist/ape_lang-0.2.0*

# Upload to PyPI (requires authentication)
twine upload dist/ape_lang-0.2.0*
```

**Test on TestPyPI first (recommended):**

```bash
twine upload --repository testpypi dist/ape_lang-0.2.0*
```

Then verify installation:
