fix: fix bug (patch bump)
perf: performance improvement (patch bump)
docs: update docs (no bump)
chore: maintenance (no bump)
feat!: breaking change (major bump)
fix!: breaking bug fix (major bump)

- Release notes: Include migration guides
- Dry run: Test releases in staging
Output Checklist
- Changesets or semantic-release configured
- Versioning strategy documented
- Changelog generation automated
- Git tagging automated
- Release notes template
- NPM publishing (if package)
- Docker publishing (if applicable)
- Protected branch rules
