6# - package.json (if applicable)
7# - Any other version files

12# Create tag
13git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Release vX.Y.Z"

Task Reference

Troubleshooting

Schema Validation Failures

If schema:validate fails:

1. Check the specific error message
2. Validate the schema file syntax
3. Ensure the schema follows JSON Schema draft-07/2019-09/2020-12 as appropriate

Example Validation Failures

If examples:validate fails:

1. Check which files failed with mise run examples:validate --verbose
2. Ensure formatVersion field is present in example files
3. Verify examples match the schema for their version

Fixture Validation Failures

If fixtures:validate fails:

1. Fixtures may need to be refetched: mise run fixtures:fetch
2. Check if fixtures are valid Morphir IR format
3. Ensure fixtures are in the expected locations:
   • .morphir/testing/fixtures/
   • tests/bdd/testdata/morphir-ir/
