-# This workflow will run tests using node and then publish a package to GitHub Packages when a release is created
-# For more information see: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/publishing-packages/publishing-nodejs-packages
+# 🚀 Release & Publish Workflow
+# 
+# This GitHub Actions workflow automates the full release process:
+# 
+# 1. On every push to the `main` branch:
+#    - Bumps the version in `package.json` automatically (patch level: v1.0.6 → v1.0.7).
+#    - Commits and pushes the new version + Git tag back to `main`.
+#    - Creates a GitHub Release with the new tag.
+#
+# 2. Build Job:
+#    - Runs `npm install` and `npm run build`.
+#    - Archives the build output (`dist/`) as an artifact to pass to the next job.
+#
+# 3. Publish to NPM:
+#    - Downloads the build artifact (`dist/`).
+#    - Publishes it to the npm registry using the `NPM_AUTH_TOKEN` secret.
+#
+# 🔑 Requirements:
+# - `secrets.PERSONAL_TOKEN` → A GitHub Personal Access Token with `repo` scope (used to push to protected `main`).
+# - `secrets.NPM_AUTH_TOKEN` → An npm token with publish rights.
+#
+# ✅ This ensures every commit to `main` automatically:
+#    → bumps the version
+#    → creates a GitHub Release
+#    → builds the package
+#    → publishes the compiled output to npm.
+#
