+
+## Documentation Audit: Task #5 - Contributing and Release Docs
+
+Agent E began work on Task #5 to update CONTRIBUTING.md files in the signetai monorepo with release workflow, scripts overview, and test scoping documentation.
+
+The agent started by examining source files to understand the release automation:
+- Read `.github/workflows/release.yml` to document the CI/CD release pipeline
+- Planned to read scripts directory and bunfig.toml for comprehensive documentation
+- Task marked as in_progress
+
+## Release Workflow Findings
+
+From release.yml analysis:
+- Release triggers on push to main, but skips "chore: release" commits to prevent loops
+- Release pipeline checks for actual code changes (packages/**, scripts/**, web/**, config files) and skips if only docs/images modified
+- Release steps: checkout → check changes → setup bun → install → build → configure git → bump version → generate changelog → npm publish → commit and tag
+- Multi-package publishing supported (detected packages/signetai and others)
+- Uses conventional commit messages to determine version bumps
+- Concurrency group prevents concurrent releases
+
+Session in progress - source files being collected and analyzed for documentation.
