+## Publish the connector
+
+Run the release workflow from this package instead of calling `npm publish` directly:
+
+```sh
+npm run release:patch
+```
+
+The workflow checks the versions already present on npm, keeps the current version when it is unpublished, or advances to the next unused patch version when necessary. It then runs the connector tests, syntax checks, and package dry run before publishing. A direct `npm publish` now stops early with the corrective command when its version already exists.
