```

## Prerequisites

1. **npm Account**
   ```bash
   npm login
   ```

2. **Organization Setup**
   - Create `@aethex.os` organization on npmjs.com
   - Invite team members

## Publishing Steps

### 1. Prepare Packages

#### Core Package

```bash
cd packages/core

# Copy the runtime
cp ../../core.js ./index.js

# Create TypeScript definitions
cat > index.d.ts << 'EOF'
export class Passport {
  userId: string;
  username: string;
  platforms: string[];
  verified: boolean;
  constructor(userId: string, username: string);
  verify(): Promise<boolean>;
  syncAcross(platforms: string[]): Promise<boolean>;
  toJSON(): object;
}

export class DataSync {
  static sync(data: any, platforms: string[]): Promise<boolean>;
  static pull(userId: string, platform: string): Promise<any>;
}

export class SafeInput {
  static detectPII(input: string): string[];
  static scrub(input: string): string;
  static validate(input: string, allowedTypes?: string[]): {
    valid: boolean;
    clean?: string;
    blocked?: string[];
    message?: string;
  };
}

export class Compliance {
  static isCOPPACompliant(age: number): boolean;
  static requiresParentConsent(age: number): boolean;
  static canCollectData(user: { age: number; parentConsentGiven?: boolean }): boolean;
  static logCheck(userId: string, checkType: string, result: boolean): void;
}

```

#### CLI Package

```bash
cd ../cli

# Create bin directory
mkdir -p bin lib

# Copy CLI
cp ../../aethex.js ./bin/aethex.js

# Make it executable
chmod +x ./bin/aethex.js

# Copy compiler
cp ../../aethex-compiler.js ./lib/compiler.js

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Create README
cp ../../README.md ./README.md
cp ../core/LICENSE ./LICENSE
```

### 2. Test Locally

```bash
# Test core package
cd packages/core
node -e "const {Passport, SafeInput} = require('./index.js'); console.log('✓ Core works')"

# Test CLI package
cd ../cli
npm link
aethex --version
```

### 3. Publish to npm

#### Core Package (Publish First)

```bash
cd packages/core

# Dry run to see what will be published
npm publish --dry-run

# Publish (public access for scoped packages)
npm publish --access public
```

#### CLI Package (Publish Second)

```bash
cd ../cli

# Dry run
npm publish --dry-run

# Publish
npm publish --access public
```

### 4. Verify Installation

```bash
# In a fresh directory
npm install -g @aethex.os/cli

# Test
aethex --version
aethex --help
```

## Version Updates

### Patch Release (Bug fixes)

```bash
cd packages/core
npm version patch
npm publish

cd ../cli
npm version patch
npm publish
```

### Minor Release (New features)

```bash
npm version minor
npm publish
```

### Major Release (Breaking changes)

```bash
npm version major
npm publish
```

## npmjs.com Package Pages

After publishing, your packages will be available at:

- **@aethex.os/core**: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@aethex.os/core
- **@aethex.os/cli**: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@aethex.os/cli

## Usage for End Users

Once published, users can install via:

```bash
# Install CLI globally
npm install -g @aethex.os/cli

# Use the CLI
aethex compile myfile.aethex

# Install core library (for projects)
npm install @aethex.os/core
```

## Troubleshooting

### Authentication Issues

```bash
# Login again
npm logout
npm login
```

### Permission Denied

```bash
# Make sure you're a member of @aethex.os organization
npm access ls-collaborators @aethex.os/core
```

### Tagging Releases

```bash
# Tag a specific version
npm dist-tag add @aethex.os/cli@1.0.1 latest

# List tags
npm dist-tag ls @aethex.os/cli
```

## Automated Publishing (GitHub Actions)

Create `.github/workflows/publish.yml`:

```yaml
name: Publish to npm

on:
  release:
    types: [created]

jobs:
  publish:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: '18'
          registry-url: 'https://registry.npmjs.org'

      - name: Publish @aethex.os/core
        run: |
          cd packages/core
          npm publish --access public
        env:
          NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}

      - name: Publish @aethex.os/cli
        run: |
          cd packages/cli
          npm install
          npm publish --access public
        env:
          NODE_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NPM_TOKEN }}
```

Add `NPM_TOKEN` to your GitHub repository secrets.

## Maintenance

### Deprecating Old Versions

```bash
npm deprecate @aethex.os/cli@1.0.1 "Please upgrade to 1.1.0"
```

### Unpublishing (Use Carefully!)

```bash
# Can only unpublish within 72 hours
npm unpublish @aethex.os/cli@1.0.1
```
