 - The **package/module** is `aai_cli`; the **distribution** name is `aai-cli`; the **console command** is `assembly` (`[project.scripts] assembly = "aai_cli.main:run"`).
 - `assembly init` templates live in `aai_cli/init/templates/` and are **committed**, including renamed dotfiles (`gitignore` → `.gitignore`, `env.example`). The wheel force-includes them via `[tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel] artifacts`, excluding `__pycache__/*.pyc`. Editing templates needs care — see the parametrized contract tests (`tests/test_init_template_*.py`).
 - `audioop` left the stdlib in 3.13; `audioop-lts` backfills it (conditional dependency). Supported Pythons: 3.12–3.13.
-- **Releasing is tag-triggered.** `.github/workflows/release.yml` fires on a pushed `vX.Y.Z` tag and builds the prebuilt arm64 Homebrew bottle (`Formula/assembly.rb`), cuts the GitHub Release, and opens the formula PR — bottling matters because the deps include Rust-backed sdists (`pydantic-core`, `jiter`, `cryptography`) that would otherwise compile from source on `brew install`. Two committed helpers drive it and are self-documenting (`--help`): `scripts/bump_minor.sh` rewrites the version in lock-step across `pyproject.toml` + `aai_cli/__init__.py` (run on a branch → merge the PR), then `scripts/cut_release.sh` tags + pushes. **`cut_release.sh` only runs from a clean `main` in sync with `origin/main`** (it hard-errors on a feature branch / dirty tree / version mismatch), so cut releases from `main`, not your working branch. The "update available" notice users see is `aai_cli/update_check.py`.
