-Create a new Gitea release for this project using semantic versioning.
-
-## Current state
-
-Fetch tags and find the latest version:
-
-```
-!git fetch --tags && git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -5
-```
-
-Commits since the last release (if no tags exist, this shows all commits):
-
-```
-!git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0 2>/dev/null && echo "$(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD" || echo "") --oneline
-```
-
-## Instructions
-
-1. **Determine current version** from the tag output above. If no `vX.Y.Z` tags exist, treat current version as `v0.0.0`.
-
-2. **Analyze commits** using conventional commit prefixes to pick the semver bump:
-   - Breaking changes (`!` after type, or `BREAKING CHANGE` in body) → **major** bump
-   - `feat:` → **minor** bump
-   - `fix:`, `chore:`, `deps:`, `revert:`, and everything else → **patch** bump
-   - Use the **highest** applicable bump level across all commits
-
-3. **Generate release notes** — group commits into sections:
-   - **Features** — `feat:` commits
-   - **Fixes** — `fix:` commits
-   - **Other** — everything else (`chore:`, `deps:`, `revert:`, etc.)
-   - Omit empty sections. Each commit is a bullet point with its short description (strip the prefix).
-
-4. **Present for approval** — show the user:
-   - Current version → proposed new version
-   - The full release notes
-   - The exact `tea` command that will run
-   - Ask the user to confirm before proceeding
-
-5. **Create the release** — on user approval, run:
-   ```
-   tea releases create --login gitea --repo ryan/c4 --tag <version> --target main -t "<version>" -n "<release notes>"
-   ```
-   Do NOT create a local git tag — Gitea creates it server-side.
-
-6. **Verify** — run `tea releases ls --login gitea --repo ryan/c4` to confirm the release was created.
