# Refactor: Enhance documentation and cleanup comments in publishRelease.mjs

Improve `buildScripts/publishRelease.mjs` by adding structured, intent-driven documentation and removing conversational internal monologue comments.

**Changes:**
1.  **Header Update:** Add a detailed JSDoc summary explaining the 6-step release workflow, architectural decisions (Squash to Main, Local-First), and semantic keywords.
2.  **Comment Cleanup:** Remove "thought chain" comments in the pre-flight check section regarding version bumping.
3.  **Intent Clarification:** Replace removed comments with clear, directive statements about the expected state (e.g., "User must manually bump package.json").

This aligns the script with the project's high standards for documentation and maintainability.
