Andy Lee 50686c0819 refactor: use CI artifacts in release workflow instead of rebuilding
- Download pre-built wheels from successful CI runs
- Avoids duplicate builds and ensures consistency
- CI artifacts are already tested across all platforms
- Faster release process (no build time)
- Updates release documentation to reflect new flow

This ensures the released packages are exactly what was tested in CI.

# Release Guide
## 📋 Prerequisites
Before releasing, ensure:
1. ✅ All code changes are committed and pushed
2. ✅ CI has passed on the latest commit (check [Actions](https://github.com/yichuan-w/LEANN/actions/workflows/ci.yml))
3. ✅ You have determined the new version number
## 🚀 Recommended: Manual Release Workflow
### Via GitHub UI (Most Reliable)
1. **Verify CI Status**: Check that the latest commit has a green checkmark ✅
2. Go to [Actions → Manual Release](https://github.com/yichuan-w/LEANN/actions/workflows/release-manual.yml)
3. Click "Run workflow"
4. Enter version (e.g., `0.1.1`)
5. Toggle "Test on TestPyPI first" if desired
6. Click "Run workflow"
**What happens:**
- ✅ Validates version format
- ✅ Downloads pre-built packages from CI (no rebuild needed!)
- ✅ Updates all package versions
- ✅ Optionally tests on TestPyPI
- ✅ Creates tag and GitHub release
- ✅ Automatically triggers PyPI publish
### Via Command Line
```bash
gh workflow run release-manual.yml -f version=0.1.1 -f test_pypi=true
```
## ⚡ Quick Release (One-Line)
For experienced users who want the fastest path:
```bash
./scripts/release.sh 0.1.1
```
This script will:
1. Update all package versions
2. Commit and push changes
3. Create GitHub release
4. CI automatically builds and publishes to PyPI
⚠️ **Note**: If CI fails, you'll need to manually fix and re-tag
## Manual Testing Before Release
For testing specific packages locally (especially DiskANN on macOS):
```bash
# Build specific package locally
./scripts/build_and_test.sh diskann # or hnsw, core, meta, all
# Test installation in a clean environment
python -m venv test_env
source test_env/bin/activate
pip install packages/*/dist/*.whl
# Upload to Test PyPI (optional)
./scripts/upload_to_pypi.sh test
# Upload to Production PyPI (use with caution)
./scripts/upload_to_pypi.sh prod
```
## First-time setup
1. Install GitHub CLI:
```bash
brew install gh
gh auth login
```
2. Set PyPI token in GitHub:
```bash
gh secret set PYPI_API_TOKEN
# Paste your PyPI token when prompted
```
