## Publication Steps

### 1. Final Preparation

```bash
# Ensure all tests pass
cargo test --all-features

# Check for any issues
cargo clippy -- -D warnings

# Format code
cargo fmt

# Build documentation
cargo doc --no-deps

# Test examples
cargo run --example getting_started
cargo run --example basic_backtest
```

### 2. Version Management

Update version in `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[package]
version = "0.1.0"  # Follow SemVer
```

Update `CHANGELOG.md` with release notes.

### 3. Package Verification

```bash
# Create package
cargo package

# Verify package contents
cargo package --list

# Test the packaged version
cargo package --allow-dirty
cd target/package/hyperliquid-backtester-0.1.0
cargo test
```

### 4. Publish to crates.io

```bash
# Login to crates.io (one-time setup)
cargo login

# Publish (dry run first)
cargo publish --dry-run

# Actual publish
cargo publish
```

### 5. Post-Publication

- Create GitHub release with changelog
