Lastly, make sure to update that CHANGELOG.md with all the juicy details.

When preparing for a patch release, meticulous attention to detail is paramount. Ensuring that all tests pass not only validates the integrity of the codebase but also guarantees a seamless experience for end-users. This rigorous testing phase acts as a safety net, preventing any unforeseen issues from creeping into the live environment and disrupting established workflows. By adhering to this stringent standard, we uphold our commitment to delivering reliable and robust software.

Furthermore, the decision to publish the package to the GitHub Package Registry streamlines the distribution process, making it easier for developers to access and integrate the latest updates. This centralized repository ensures that everyone is working with the most current version, fostering collaboration and minimizing compatibility issues. The GitHub Package Registry serves as a single source of truth, simplifying dependency management and enhancing overall project efficiency.

Moreover, maintaining an up-to-date CHANGELOG.md is essential for transparent communication and effective version control. By documenting all modifications, bug fixes, and enhancements, we provide a clear audit trail that enables users to understand the evolution of the software and make informed decisions about when and how to upgrade. This practice promotes trust and accountability, fostering a strong sense of community around the project.
