 1. Branch `chore/release-<version>` from `main`.

 5. Tag the merge commit and push the tag: `git tag -a v<version> -m "AdminKit <version>" && git push origin v<version>`. The Release workflow builds `dist/` and attaches `adminkit-v<version>.zip` to a GitHub release; name it `AdminKit <version>` and paste the version's changelog lines as its notes.
 6. Publish to npm from the tagged commit: `npm publish` (`prepublishOnly` builds first).
 7. In the website repository, refresh the docs previews: `npm run preview:sync -- --free ../adminkit --pro ../adminkit-pro`.
