Maintain Release And Packaging Surfaces

Use this skill when a change affects how NeMo Relay is built, packaged, named, or consumed outside the source tree.

Audit Areas

• Rust Cargo.toml package names and workspace metadata
• Python packaging in pyproject.toml
• Python worker plugin SDK packaging in python/plugin/pyproject.toml
• Go module path in go/nemo_relay/go.mod
• Node workspace metadata in root package.json and package-lock.json
• Node package metadata in crates/node/package.json
• FFI header and library naming
• CI workflows, install commands, and example commands
• justfile build, test, clean, version, and package recipes for plugin crates and packages
• Release tags, release-note surfaces, and registry-facing version translation

Checklist

• Every new package or plugin has an explicit versioning model: either it participates in the unified NeMo Relay release or it has an intentionally independent source of truth
• Package names, import paths, and module names are internally consistent
• Generated artifacts still land where downstream consumers expect
• Docs and examples use the current install/import/build commands
• CI references the same package names as local workflows
• Public packaging changes are reflected in release-facing docs
• For a new unified-release surface, its manifest version, lockfile entry, and internal NeMo Relay version pins are covered by set_project_version in the justfile; extend the owning helper and its fail-fast field checks in the same change when a value is not derived automatically, without adding a separate test that mirrors the helper's field list
• nemo-relay-plugin Rust and Python packages track the project SemVer policy and Python wheels use valid PEP 440 translation
• Release tags still use raw SemVer without a leading v
• Release history and release notes still point to GitHub Releases, not CHANGELOG.md or docs pages
