## 🎯 Publishing Commands

### Test Publication (TestPyPI)
```bash
# Upload to TestPyPI first
python -m twine upload --repository testpypi dist/*

# Test install from TestPyPI
pip install --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ crawailer
```

### Production Publication (PyPI)
```bash
# Upload to production PyPI
python -m twine upload dist/*

# Verify installation
pip install crawailer
```

### Post-Publication Verification
```bash
# Test basic import
python -c "import crawailer; print(f'✅ Crawailer v{crawailer.__version__}')"
