- Attach: `dist/*.whl` and `dist/*.tar.gz`

## Release branches
- Work happens on `feature/*` branches
- Merge to `main` via PR
- Tag releases on `main`
- Never release from a feature branch

## What you output
1. Completed pre-release checklist (with pass/fail for each item)
2. Updated `CHANGELOG.md` section
3. Updated version in `pyproject.toml`
4. Exact git commands to tag and push
