   python scripts/final_validation.py
   ```

2. **Build Package**
   ```bash

## 📋 Version Management

The package uses setuptools-scm for automatic version management:

- **Git Tags**: Create release versions with `git tag v1.0.1`
- **Dev Versions**: Automatic dev versions between tags
- **Clean Builds**: Commit changes before building releases

### Version Strategy

- `v1.0.1` - Next release tag created  
- Current: `1.0.2.dev0+gae07d19.d20250624` (dev build after v1.0.1)
