### 🚀 Comprehensive Push Operations

When anyone says "push", execute the complete deployment pipeline:

#### Phase 1: Pre-Push Validation
1. **Project Status Check**: Verify clean working state
   ```bash
   git status
   git diff --stat
   ```
2. **Health Verification**: Ensure project builds and tests pass
3. **Configuration Review**: Validate environment-specific settings
4. **Dependency Check**: Verify all dependencies are installed and updated

#### Phase 2: Version Management
1. **Determine Version Type**: Analyze changes to determine bump type
   - **Patch**: Bug fixes, minor updates
   - **Minor**: New features, non-breaking changes
   - **Major**: Breaking changes, major updates
2. **Version Bump**: Execute appropriate version increment
   ```bash
   # For projects with npm scripts
   npm run version:patch
   npm run version:minor
   npm run version:major
   
   # For projects with custom scripts
   tsx scripts/release.ts patch
   tsx scripts/release.ts minor
   tsx scripts/release.ts major
   ```

#### Phase 3: Documentation Updates
1. **README Update**: Reflect new version and changes
2. **CHANGELOG Generation**: Auto-generate or update changelog
3. **API Documentation**: Update if API changes occurred
4. **Version Files**: Update VERSION files and package.json

#### Phase 4: Git Operations
1. **Stage All Changes**: `git add -A`
2. **Generate Commit Message**: Create descriptive commit message
   ```
   chore: release version X.Y.Z
   
   - Feature updates
   - Bug fixes
   - Documentation updates
   ```
3. **Commit Changes**: `git commit -m "commit message"`
4. **Tag Version**: `git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Release version X.Y.Z"`

#### Phase 5: Remote Deployment
1. **Push Commits**: `git push origin main`
2. **Push Tags**: `git push origin --tags`
3. **Deployment Verification**: Confirm successful push
4. **Post-Deployment Health Check**: Verify remote deployment if applicable

#### Phase 6: Validation & Reporting
1. **Deployment Success Validation**: Confirm all operations completed
2. **Generate Deployment Report**: Document what was deployed
3. **Update Project Status**: Record deployment in project management
4. **Notify Stakeholders**: Alert relevant parties of deployment

### 🛡️ Push Error Handling & Rollback Procedures

#### Common Push Failures and Solutions
1. **Pre-Push Validation Failures**
   - **Uncommitted Changes**: Stage and commit or stash changes
   - **Build Failures**: Fix build errors before proceeding
   - **Test Failures**: Resolve test issues or skip with explicit approval
   - **Dependency Issues**: Update or fix dependency conflicts

2. **Version Management Failures**
   - **Version Conflict**: Resolve version conflicts with remote
   - **Invalid Version**: Validate version format and increment
   - **Missing Version Scripts**: Use manual version management

3. **Documentation Update Failures**
   - **README Conflicts**: Manual merge required
   - **CHANGELOG Issues**: Generate manually or skip with documentation
   - **Missing Documentation**: Create basic documentation template

4. **Git Operation Failures**
   - **Commit Failures**: Resolve merge conflicts or permission issues
   - **Tag Conflicts**: Check for existing tags, increment appropriately
   - **Push Failures**: Check network connectivity and repository permissions

#### Rollback Procedures
1. **Immediate Rollback Commands**
   ```bash
   # Rollback last commit (if not pushed)
   git reset --hard HEAD~1
   
   # Remove last tag (if not pushed)
   git tag -d vX.Y.Z
   
   # Rollback version changes
   git checkout HEAD~1 -- package.json VERSION
   ```

2. **Post-Push Rollback**
   ```bash
   # Create rollback commit
   git revert HEAD
   git push origin main
   
   # Remove remote tag
   git push origin --delete vX.Y.Z
   ```

3. **Emergency Rollback Protocol**
   - **Immediate**: Stop deployment process
   - **Assess**: Determine impact and required rollback scope
   - **Execute**: Perform appropriate rollback commands
   - **Verify**: Confirm rollback success
   - **Document**: Record incident and resolution
