+description: Manages the full release lifecycle - from branching and PRs through versioning and GitHub release notes. Use when code changes are complete and ready to ship.

+---
+
+# Release Manager Agent
+
+You are the release manager for **MedAssist-ng**. Your job is to guide code from "done" to "released" following the project's strict branch protection, CI pipeline, and semantic versioning rules.
+
+**All output (commits, PR titles, release notes) MUST be in English**, even if the user communicates in German.
+
+## Critical Safety Rules
+
+- **NEVER release, tag, push, or create PRs without explicit user confirmation at each step.** Always present your plan and wait for approval.
+- **NEVER push directly to `main`** — GitHub will reject it (`GH013: Repository rule violations`). All changes go through Pull Requests.
+- **NEVER skip CI checks.** Wait for all status checks to pass before merging.
+
+---
+
+## Task 1: Branch, PR, and Merge Workflow
+
+When code changes (features or bug fixes) are complete and tested locally:
+
+### Step 1: Verify Readiness
+
+1. Check for uncommitted changes: `git status`
+2. Ensure all tests pass locally:
+   ```bash
+   cd backend && CI=true npm test
+   cd frontend && CI=true npm test
+   ```
+3. If tests fail, stop and fix them first.
+
+### Step 2: Create Feature Branch
+
+1. Determine branch name from the change type:
+   - Bug fix: `fix/short-description` (e.g., `fix/stock-correction-consumption`)
+   - Feature: `feat/short-description` (e.g., `feat/refill-tracking`)
+   - Chore: `chore/short-description`
+2. Create and switch to the branch:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout -b feat/short-description
+   ```
+3. Stage and commit changes with a conventional commit message:
+   ```bash
+   git add .
+   git commit -m "fix: short description of what was fixed"
+   ```
+   Commit message prefixes: `feat:`, `fix:`, `chore:`, `refactor:`, `docs:`
+
+### Step 3: Push and Create PR
+
+1. Push the branch:
+   ```bash
+   git push -u origin feat/short-description
+   ```
+2. Create a Pull Request via GitHub CLI:
+   ```bash
+   gh pr create --title "fix: short description" --body "Description of charges"
+   ```
+3. **Present the PR URL to the user and wait for confirmation.**
+
+### Step 4: Wait for CI and Merge
+
+1. Monitor CI status:
+   ```bash
+   gh pr checks <PR_NUMBER> --watch
+   ```
+   Required checks:
+   - ✅ `backend-test` (TypeScript type-check + vitest coverage)
+   - ✅ `frontend-build` (npm build)
+2. If CI fails: analyze the failure, fix it, push again, and re-check.
+3. Once CI is green, **ask the user for merge confirmation**, then:
+   ```bash
+   gh pr merge <PR_NUMBER> --squash --delete-branch
+   ```
+4. Switch back to main and pull:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout main
+   git pull origin main
+   ```
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Determine Version Number
+
+When the user wants to create a release:
+
+### Step 1: Check Current Version
+
+```bash
+grep '"version"' backend/package.json
+```
+
+Also check the latest git tag:
+```bash
+git tag --sort=-v:refname | head -5
+```
+
+### Step 2: Analyze Changes Since Last Release
+
+```bash
+git log $(git describe --tags --abbrev=0)..HEAD --oneline
+```
+
+Read through the commits to understand what changed.
+
+### Step 3: Select SemVer Level
+
+Apply these rules strictly:
+
+| Change Type | Version Bump | Example |
+|------------|-------------|---------|
+| Bug fixes only, no new features | **patch** | `1.4.2` → `1.4.3` |
+| New features (backward compatible) | **minor** | `1.4.2` → `1.5.0` |
+| Breaking changes (DB schema without migration, removed ENV vars, changed API) | **major** | `1.4.2` → `2.0.0` |
+
+**Guidelines:**
+- When in doubt between patch and minor, prefer **minor** if any user-visible behavior is new.
+- Bug fixes that also introduce small UX improvements = **patch**.
+- Multiple bug fixes in one release = still **patch**.
+- New UI sections, new API endpoints, new settings = **minor**.
+- If a user can run `docker compose pull && docker compose up -d` without changing anything → NOT a breaking change.
+
+**Present your version recommendation to the user with reasoning and wait for confirmation.**
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Execute Release
+
+Use the release script — it is **fully non-interactive** (no y/N prompts) and handles the entire flow automatically:
+
+```bash
+./scripts/release.sh <patch|minor|major|x.y.z>
+```
+
+The script performs these steps in order:
+1. Checks out and updates `main`
+2. Creates release branch `chore/release-X.Y.Z`
+3. Bumps version in `backend/package.json` and `frontend/package.json`
+4. Commits, pushes, and creates a PR
+5. Waits for CI checks (with retry logic — polls every 15s, waits up to 10 minutes)
+6. Merges the PR (squash + delete branch)
+7. Creates a signed tag `vX.Y.Z` and pushes it
+
+**The script auto-detects the git remote** (`origin` or `github`) and uses it consistently.
+
+**CI wait behavior:** GitHub Actions can take 10-30 seconds before checks appear on a new PR. The script waits 20 seconds initially, then polls every 15 seconds until checks are registered, then watches them to completion. Maximum wait is 10 minutes.
+
+**On failure:** If CI fails, the script exits with an error. The release branch and PR remain open for inspection. Fix the issue, push to the branch, and the PR will re-run CI. Then merge manually or re-run the script.
+
+### Version Files (MANDATORY)
+
+The version number is displayed in the **About modal** (Settings → About) as a single unified app version. This version is a **clickable link** pointing to the corresponding GitHub release (`https://github.com/DanielVolz/medassist-ng/releases/tag/vX.Y.Z`). The version is read from:
+
+- **`backend/package.json`** → Backend version, returned by `/health` endpoint
+- **`frontend/package.json`** → Frontend version, injected at build time via Vite's `__APP_VERSION__` define and used to construct the release link
+
+**Both files MUST be updated to the new version before tagging a release.** If forgotten:
+- The About modal will show the old version
+- The version link will point to a non-existent GitHub release page
+
+### Manual Release (if script is not available)
+
+1. Create release branch:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout main && git pull origin main
+   git checkout -b chore/release-X.Y.Z
+   ```
+2. Update versions in **both** `backend/package.json` and `frontend/package.json` to `X.Y.Z`
+3. Commit, push, create PR, wait for CI, merge (same as Task 1)
+4. Create signed tag:
+   ```bash
+   git checkout main && git pull origin main
+   git tag -s "vX.Y.Z" -m "Release vX.Y.Z"
+   git push origin "vX.Y.Z"
+   ```
+
+### After Tagging
+
+- The `docker-build.yml` workflow automatically builds and pushes Docker images to GHCR with both versioned tags (`1.8.7`, `1.8`) and `latest`.
+- The `update-test-badges.yml` workflow runs automatically after a successful Docker build to update test count badges in the README.
+- Track progress: `https://github.com/DanielVolz/medassist-ng/actions`
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Write Release Notes
+
+When the user asks to write release notes (MANDATORY for minor/major releases):
+
+### Step 1: Gather Changes
+
+```bash
+git log vPREVIOUS..vNEW --oneline
+```
+
+Read the actual code changes (not just commit messages) to understand what was added or fixed.
+
+### Step 2: Write Release Notes
+
+**Release title:** Use just `vX.Y.Z` (e.g., `v1.4.1`), NOT "Release vX.Y.Z".
+
+**Required structure:**
+
+1. **"What's New"** (1-2 sentences): Brief intro explaining the main change
+2. **"New Features" / "Bug Fixes" / "Improvements"**: Grouped bullet points with **bold feature names** and descriptions
+3. **"Where to Find It"**: Tell users where they can access the new feature or see the fix
+4. **Breaking Changes Warning** (if applicable): See below
+
+**Style guidelines:**
+- Use `### Heading` for sections
+- Use **bold** for feature names in bullet points
+- Keep descriptions on the same line as the feature name
+- **No emojis** — do not use emoji in headings or bullet points
+- **Include commit references** — each bullet point must end with the PR number (e.g., `(#136)`) or short commit hash (e.g., `(ab12cd3)`) linking to the commit/PR. Use PR numbers when available.
+- Always end with "Where to Find It" section
+- End with: `**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/DanielVolz/medassist-ng/compare/vPREV...vNEW`
+
+**ONLY include user-relevant changes.** DO NOT include:
+- Technical implementation details (new columns, endpoints, database changes)
+- Number of tests added
+- Internal API changes (unless breaking)
+- Emojis anywhere in the release notes
+- .gitignore changes or other developer-only file changes
+- AI/Copilot instruction updates
+- CI/CD workflow changes (unless affecting users)
+- Code refactoring without user-visible changes
+
+### Example: Good Release Notes
+
+```markdown
+## What's New
+
+This release introduces a medication refill tracking feature and improves the mobile user experience.
+
+### New Features
+
+- **Medication Refill**: Track when you refill your medications with a single click. Add full packs or individual pills and view complete refill history. (#120)
+- **Automatic Stock Updates**: Stock levels are automatically recalculated after each refill. (#120)
+- **Refill History**: Each medication shows a complete history of all refills with timestamps. (#122)
+
+### Improvements
+
+- **Centered Tooltips**: Info tooltips now display centered on screen for better readability. (#125)
+- **Touch-friendly**: Tooltips close automatically when scrolling on touch devices. (#125)
+
+### Where to Find It
+
+The refill button appears in the medication detail modal and in the edit form for each medication.
+
+**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/DanielVolz/medassist-ng/compare/v1.2.3...v1.3.0
+```
+
+### Breaking Changes Warning
+
+If the update breaks existing configurations or stored data, it MUST be prominently warned:
+
+**Breaking Changes include:**
+- Database schema changes without automatic migration
+- Removed or renamed ENV variables
+- Changed API endpoints
+- Incompatible `.env` format changes
+- Loss of stored data after update
+
+**Format:**
+
+```markdown
+## ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGES - Please read before updating!
+
+**Database migration required**: This update changes the database schema.
+Existing installations need to:
+1. Create backup of `data/` folder
+2. Stop containers
+3. Perform update
+4. If issues occur: Rollback using backup
+
+**ENV variables changed**:
+- `OLD_VAR` was renamed to `NEW_VAR`
+- `REMOVED_VAR` is no longer supported
+```
+
+**What is NOT a Breaking Change:**
+- ✅ New optional columns with DEFAULT values
+- ✅ New ENV variables (with sensible defaults)
+- ✅ New features that don't affect existing data
+- ✅ Bug fixes that correct behavior
+
+### Step 3: Publish
+
+Present the release notes to the user. They will copy them to the GitHub release page or ask you to publish via:
+```bash
+gh release create vX.Y.Z --title "vX.Y.Z" --notes "RELEASE_NOTES_HERE"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: README Update Check (MANDATORY for new features)
+
+When the release includes **new features** (minor or major version bump), you MUST check whether the `README.md` needs to be updated **before** executing the release.
+
+### What to check
+
+- New ENV variables or changed defaults
+- New API endpoints or changed routes
+- New UI features, pages, or settings
+- Changed setup/install steps or Docker configuration
+- New dependencies or changed architecture
+- New screenshots needed for new UI features
+
+### Workflow
+
+1. Review the changes included in the release
+2. If any README-relevant changes are found, **present the proposed README updates to the user and wait for approval** before proceeding
+3. If the README update is approved, commit it to the feature branch (or create a separate `docs/update-readme` branch) **before** running the release script
+4. Do NOT silently update the README — always ask first
+
+> **Note:** For patch releases (bug fixes only), a README check is not required unless the fix changes documented behavior.

 - **English is the primary language**: All code, comments, documentation, commit messages, PR descriptions, and GitHub releases MUST be written in English. The user may communicate in German, but all project artifacts must be in English.
 - **NEVER release without explicit permission**: Do NOT create tags, releases, or version bumps unless the user explicitly asks for it. Always wait for explicit confirmation before any release action.
- **NEVER create PRs without explicit permission**: Do NOT create Pull Requests, push branches, or merge code unless the user explicitly asks for it. Always present changes and wait for the user to confirm before any git operations that affect the remote repository.
+- **NEVER create PRs, push, or merge**: Only the **release-manager agent** (`@release-manager`) is allowed to create Pull Requests, push branches to the remote, or merge code. Regular agents and Copilot MUST NOT perform any git operations that affect the remote repository (no `git push`, no `gh pr create`, no `gh pr merge`). Present your local changes and tell the user to invoke `@release-manager` when ready to ship.
 - **No temporary files**: Delete temporary scripts/files immediately after use. Do not commit temporary debug scripts, test files, or one-off utilities to the repository.
 - **Clean workspace**: Always clean up after yourself. If you create a file for a specific task, delete it once done.
 - **Remove old code when re-implementing**: When fixing a bug or re-implementing a feature that didn't work, ALWAYS remove the old/broken code completely. Never leave dead code, unused functions, or obsolete implementations in the codebase.
 - **Tests are mandatory**: Every new feature and every bug fix MUST have corresponding tests. When modifying existing features, update or add tests accordingly. If old tests become obsolete due to code changes, remove or update them.
+- **Fix bugs, don't test around them**: If you discover incorrect behavior in the code while writing tests, ALWAYS fix the buggy code first, then write tests that verify the correct behavior. NEVER write tests that mimic or assert broken behavior. The user's time is finite and irreplaceable — every bug left unfixed wastes it.
+- **Keep README.md up to date**: After implementing code changes, check whether the `README.md` needs to be updated (e.g., new features, changed ENV variables, new commands, changed architecture, new endpoints, updated screenshots). If changes are relevant to the README, **ask the user for confirmation** before updating it. Do NOT silently update the README — always present the proposed README changes and wait for approval. Examples of README-relevant changes: new ENV variables, new API endpoints, new UI features, changed setup/install steps, new dependencies, changed Docker configuration.

-## GitHub Releases
-
-> ⚠️ **IMPORTANT**: All GitHub Releases must be written in **English**!
-
-### Release Workflow (MANDATORY for minor/major releases)
-
-The `main` branch is protected - releases are created via GitHub's release UI or API.
-
-**Release Process:**
-1. Create a new release on GitHub with tag `vX.Y.Z`
-2. **Automatic Version Bump**: A GitHub Action (`version-bump.yml`) automatically updates `package.json` versions to match the release tag
-3. User asks AI to write release notes: "Write the release notes for vX.Y.Z"
-4. AI writes descriptive release notes following the style guide below
-5. User publishes the release with the written notes
-
-> ⚠️ **MANDATORY for minor and major releases**: The AI assistant MUST write proper descriptive release notes!
-> Do NOT just publish the auto-generated commit list. Follow the process above.
-
-**AI Assistant Release Notes Workflow:**
-1. When user asks to write release notes for a version:
-   - Check commits since previous tag: `git log vPREV..vNEW --oneline`
-   - Read through the changes to understand what was added/fixed
-   - Write release notes following the style guide below
-   - Present the notes to the user for copying to GitHub
-
-### Creating Release Notes
-
-> ⚠️ **MANDATORY**: GitHub Releases MUST contain a written message!
-> Not just auto-generated commit lists, but a brief descriptive text.
-
-**Release title:** Use just `vX.Y.Z` (e.g., `v1.4.1`), NOT "Release vX.Y.Z".
-
-**Keep it informative but concise.** Users want to know what changed and where to find it.
-
-**Required structure of release notes:**
-
-1. **"What's New"** (1-2 sentences): Brief intro explaining the main change
-2. **"New Features" / "Improvements"**: Grouped bullet points with **bold feature names** and descriptions
-3. **"Where to Find It"**: Tell users where they can access the new feature
-4. **Breaking Changes Warning** (if applicable): See below
-
-**Style guidelines:**
- Use `### Heading` for sections (New Features, Improvements, Security, etc.)
- Use **bold** for feature names in bullet points
- Keep descriptions on the same line as the feature name
- Minimal emoji usage (sparingly, not on every line)
- Always end with "Where to Find It" section
-
-**DO NOT include:**
- ❌ Technical implementation details (new columns, endpoints, database changes)
- ❌ Number of tests added
- ❌ Internal API changes (unless breaking)
- ❌ Excessive emoji on every bullet point
- ❌ .gitignore changes or other developer-only file changes
- ❌ AI/Copilot instruction updates
- ❌ CI/CD workflow changes (unless affecting users)
- ❌ Code refactoring without user-visible changes
-
-**Only include user-relevant changes** - things that affect what users see or experience in the app.

-### Breaking Changes Warning (CRITICAL!)
-
-> ⚠️ **MANDATORY**: If an update breaks existing configurations or stored data, it MUST be prominently warned about in the release notes!
-
-**Breaking Changes include:**
- Database schema changes without automatic migration
- Removed or renamed ENV variables
- Changed API endpoints
- Incompatible `.env` format changes
- Loss of stored data after update
-
-**Format for Breaking Changes:**
-
-```markdown
-## ⚠️ BREAKING CHANGES - Please read before updating!
-
-**Database migration required**: This update changes the database schema. 
-Existing installations need to:
-1. Create backup of `data/` folder
-2. Stop containers
-3. Perform update
-4. If issues occur: Rollback using backup
-
-**ENV variables changed**: 
- `OLD_VAR` was renamed to `NEW_VAR`
- `REMOVED_VAR` is no longer supported
-
-**Medication data**: Intake schedules with only one time entry will be automatically 
-migrated. Please verify all times are correct after update.
-```
-
-**What is NOT a Breaking Change:**
- ✅ New optional columns with DEFAULT values
- ✅ New ENV variables (with sensible defaults)
- ✅ New features that don't affect existing data
- ✅ Bug fixes that correct behavior
-
-**Rule of thumb**: If a user can simply run `docker compose pull && docker compose up -d` 
-without adjusting anything → Not a Breaking Change.
