 The Rust LSP server lives in [nuwiki-rs](https://code.gfran.co/gffranco/nuwiki-rs) which handles:
 - Release (`.gitea/workflows/release.yaml`): Triggers on `v*` tag — cross-compiles for Linux targets and creates a Gitea release with downloadable binaries.
 
+### Releasing the plugin
+
+This repo has no release workflow — the plugin is distributed by plugin
+managers cloning the git repo, so a "release" is just a git tag. There is no
+automated version stamping (the old `scripts/set-version.sh` moved to
+nuwiki-rs with the Rust crates), so cut a plugin release by hand:
+
+1. Bump `g:nuwiki_version` in `plugin/nuwiki.vim`.
+2. Commit, then `git tag vX.Y.Z && git push --tags`.
+
+The plugin and the `nuwiki-ls` server version independently; the binary is
+fetched from nuwiki-rs's `latest` release at install time.
