Summary

This PR completes task 031 by moving the task file from Kanban/InProgress/ to Kanban/Done/ and updating the task completion status. The task involved splitting NuGet publishing from the master branch workflow to a dedicated release workflow.

Code Quality & Best Practices ✅

• Task Management: Proper Kanban workflow followed - task moved from InProgress to Done
• Documentation: Task file is well-structured with clear sections (Description, Requirements, Checklist, Implementation Notes)
• Commit Message: Follows repository standards with descriptive message and proper co-authoring

Implementation Assessment ✅

Workflow Changes Verified:

• ✅ release-publish.yml: Created with proper GitHub Release triggers and NuGet publishing logic
• ✅ master-build.yml: Renamed from release-build.yml, now only builds/tests (no publishing)
• ✅ Version validation: Release workflow validates version matches tag before publishing
• ✅ Package coverage: All packages (TimeWarp.State, TimeWarp.State.Plus, TimeWarp.State.Policies) included

Documentation Review ✅

Claude.md Updated (lines 41-44):

### Release Process
- **Master branch**: Builds and tests automatically, no publishing
- **GitHub Releases**: Trigger automatic NuGet publishing
- Release workflow validates version matches tag before publishing

Task Completion Status Issues ⚠️

Potentially Incomplete Items:

1. README.md Update: Task checklist shows this as completed, but the main README.md doesn't contain specific release process information. The documentation was added to Claude.md instead.

2. End-to-End Testing: Two testing items remain incomplete:

   • [ ] Test workflow with draft release
   • [ ] Test release process end-to-end

Process Compliance Assessment ⚠️

Concerns:

1. Premature Task Completion: Moving a task to "Done" while testing items remain incomplete violates typical completion criteria
2. Missing Verification: No evidence that the new workflow has been tested in practice
3. Documentation Inconsistency: README.md checkbox marked complete but actual README.md wasn't updated with release process details

Recommendations

1. Consider reverting to InProgress until end-to-end testing is completed
2. Complete testing items before marking task as done:
   • Test draft release workflow
   • Verify full release process works end-to-end
3. Update README.md with basic release process information or clarify that documentation lives in Claude.md
4. Follow testing protocol mentioned in task requirements

Security & Performance ✅

• Security: Proper use of GitHub secrets for NuGet API keys
• Performance: Efficient workflow with proper caching strategies
• Reliability: Version validation prevents mismatched releases

Final Assessment

While the core implementation appears solid, this task should remain in InProgress until the testing requirements are fulfilled. The workflow changes look well-implemented, but moving to Done without completing end-to-end testing doesn't follow best practices for task completion.
