After packing or publishing, `postpack` restores the development manifest automatically.
### Manual first publish for `@paperclipai/ui`
If you need to publish only the UI package once by hand, use the real package name:
- `@paperclipai/ui`
Recommended flow from the repo root:
```bash
# optional sanity check: this 404s until the first publish exists
npm view @paperclipai/ui version
# make sure the dist payload is fresh
pnpm --filter @paperclipai/ui build
# confirm your local npm auth before the real publish
npm whoami
# safe preview of the exact publish payload
cd ui
pnpm publish --dry-run --no-git-checks --access public
# real publish
pnpm publish --no-git-checks --access public
```
Notes:
- Publish from `ui/`, not the repo root.
- `prepack` automatically rewrites `ui/package.json` to the lean publish manifest, and `postpack` restores the dev manifest after the command finishes.
- If `npm view @paperclipai/ui version` already returns the same version that is in [`ui/package.json`](../ui/package.json), do not republish. Bump the version or use the normal repo-wide release flow in [`scripts/release.sh`](../scripts/release.sh).
## Version formats
