+# Release process
+
+To ship an official stable release:
+
+1. Make sure a Linear release with the target version exists (e.g. `1.6.0`).
+2. From the Actions tab, manually run **Stable Obsidian Release** (`.github/workflows/obsidian-release.yaml`) with the `version` input set to that version.
+
+That single run publishes the stable GitHub release, bumps `apps/obsidian/package.json` and `apps/obsidian/manifest.json`, pushes to the mirror repo, and syncs and completes the matching Linear release.
