+# Release Process
+
+## 1. Update Package Versions
+
+Bump the version in **all** manifest files. For example, to go from `0.1.0` → `0.2.0`:
+
+### Rust (Cargo)
+
+- `Cargo.toml` — `[workspace.package] version`
+- `src/nanvix_sandbox/Cargo.toml` — `[package] version` (excluded from workspace, must be updated manually)
+
+All other workspace member crates inherit the version automatically.
+
+### Python (pyproject.toml)
+
+- `pyproject.toml` (root dev package)
+- `src/sdk/python/core/pyproject.toml` (also update `optional-dependencies` version constraints)
+- `src/sdk/python/hyperlight_js_backend/pyproject.toml`
+- `src/sdk/python/wasm_backend/pyproject.toml`
+- `src/sdk/python/wasm_guests/javascript_guest/pyproject.toml`
+- `src/sdk/python/wasm_guests/python_guest/pyproject.toml`
+
+### JavaScript (package.json)
+
+- `src/wasm_sandbox/guests/javascript/package.json`
+
+## 2. Verify the Build
+
+```sh
+just build
+just fmt-check
+```
+
+## 3. Commit and Merge
+
+Open a PR with the version bump, get it reviewed, and merge to `main`.
+
+## 4. Tag and Publish
+
+```sh
+git checkout main
+git pull --ff-only
+git tag -s -a v0.2.0 -m "v0.2.0"
+git push --tags
+```
+
+Replace `v0.2.0` with the version you are releasing.
