Release Checklist

• For the full workflow (release PR → tag → automation), see Releasing CacheKit.

• Update CHANGELOG.md with final date/version and review entries.
• Run cargo fmt if needed.
• Run cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings.
• Run cargo test.
• Run key benchmarks (cargo bench --bench lru, --bench lru_k, --bench lfu).
• Verify docs with cargo doc --no-deps and spot-check new module docs.
• Confirm Cargo.toml version matches the release tag.
• Tag and push:
  • Stable: git tag -a v0.1.0 -m "cachekit v0.1.0" && git push origin v0.1.0
  • Pre-release: git tag -a v0.1.0-alpha -m "cachekit v0.1.0-alpha" && git push origin v0.1.0-alpha
    • Note: the default .github/workflows/release.yml trigger matches v*.*.* only.
