 npm run check && npm run lint && npm test && npm run build && npm run build:plugin
 npm publish

-CI uses semantic-release on the `main` branch.
+CI uses semantic-release on the `main` branch. The release pipeline bumps
+`package.json`, syncs `manifest.json`, commits the versioned files back to
+`main`, and publishes GitHub releases with bare version tags such as `1.4.2`
+so Obsidian can match the manifest version.
+
+Because `main` is protected, the release workflow requires a `RELEASE_TOKEN`
+repository secret. Use a fine-grained PAT or GitHub App token whose actor is
+allowed to bypass the `main` branch protection rule and has contents write
+access. The default `GITHUB_TOKEN` is not enough when direct pushes to `main`
+are blocked.
