-# Publishing stagehand-python to PyPI
-
-This repository is configured with a GitHub Actions workflow to automate the process of publishing new versions to PyPI.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-Before using the publishing workflow, ensure you have:
-
-1. Set up the following secrets in your GitHub repository settings:
-   - `PYPI_USERNAME`: Your PyPI username
-   - `PYPI_API_TOKEN`: Your PyPI API token (not your password)
-
-## How to Publish a New Version
-
-### Manual Trigger
-
-1. Go to the "Actions" tab in your GitHub repository
-2. Select the "Publish to PyPI" workflow from the list
-3. Click "Run workflow" on the right side
-4. Configure the workflow:
-   - Choose the release type:
-     - `patch` (e.g., 0.3.0 → 0.3.1) for bug fixes
-     - `minor` (e.g., 0.3.0 → 0.4.0) for backward-compatible features
-     - `major` (e.g., 0.3.0 → 1.0.0) for breaking changes
-   - Toggle "Create GitHub Release" if you want to create a GitHub release
-5. Click "Run workflow" to start the process
-
-### What Happens During Publishing
-
-The workflow will:
-
-1. Checkout the repository
-2. Set up Python environment
-3. Install dependencies
-4. **Run Ruff linting checks**:
-   - Checks for code style and quality issues
-   - Verifies formatting according to project standards
-   - Fails the workflow if issues are found
-5. Run tests to ensure everything works
-6. Update the version number using bumpversion
-7. Build the package
-8. Upload to PyPI
-9. Push the version bump commit and tag
-10. Create a GitHub release (if selected)
-
-## Code Quality Standards
-
-This project uses Ruff for linting and formatting. The workflow enforces these standards before publishing:
-
-- Style checks following configured rules in `pyproject.toml`
-- Format verification without making changes
-- All linting issues must be fixed before a successful publish
-
-To run the same checks locally:
-```bash
-./format.sh
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-If the workflow fails, check the following:
-
-1. **Linting errors**: Fix any issues reported by Ruff
-2. Ensure all secrets are properly set
-3. Verify that tests pass locally
-4. Check if you have proper permissions on the repository
-5. Make sure you have a PyPI account with publishing permissions
