 # Release webamp to npm
 
 ## Steps
-1. Create and push a git tag: `git tag v{X.Y.Z} && git push origin v{X.Y.Z}`
-2. CI (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) builds, tests, publishes
-3. Monitor: `gh run list --limit 3` then `gh run watch <id> --exit-status`
-4. Verify: `npm view webamp versions --json | tail -5`
+1. Bump `version` in `packages/webamp/package.json` and `Webamp.VERSION` in `packages/webamp/js/webampLazy.tsx` to match the new version
+2. Commit and push the version bump
+3. Create and push a git tag on that commit: `git tag v{X.Y.Z} && git push origin v{X.Y.Z}`
+4. CI (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`) builds, tests, publishes
+5. Monitor: `gh run list --limit 3` then `gh run watch <id> --exit-status`
+6. Verify: `npm view webamp versions --json | tail -5`
 
 ## How it works
-- Bump `version` in `packages/webamp/package.json` and `Webamp.VERSION` in `packages/webamp/js/webampLazy.tsx` to match the new version
 - Don't bump ani-cursor or winamp-eqf versions — CI sets those from the git tag
 - All 3 packages (webamp, ani-cursor, winamp-eqf) get the same version
 - Tagged releases publish to `latest`; master pushes publish `0.0.0-next-{sha}` to `next`
