+### The `dist` manifest must be rebuilt after every version bump
+
+`lerna version` rewrites the *source* `package.json`; the manifest that actually
+reaches npm is `dist/package.json`, written by `makage assets`. So a `dist` tree
+built before the bump publishes the previous version number with the new code,
+and `lerna publish` reports success while doing it. Always run
+`pnpm build:packages` (or rely on each package's `prepack`) between the version
+bump and the publish.
+
+Those packages also depend on each other through `workspace:^`, which `npm
+publish` cannot resolve — only `pnpm publish`/`pnpm pack` rewrite it. Their build
+therefore ends with `node ../../scripts/resolve-dist-workspace-deps.mjs &&
+makage check-publish`, which turns `"blocks-schema": "workspace:^"` into
+`"^0.3.0"` in the dist manifest and then fails the build if any workspace range
+survived. `pnpm check:dist-manifests` (part of `pnpm check`) re-checks both
+properties — dist version equals source version, no `workspace:` ranges — across
+all six packages.

-### The `dist` manifest must be rebuilt after every version bump
-
-`lerna version` rewrites the *source* `package.json`; the manifest that actually
-reaches npm is `dist/package.json`, written by `makage assets`. So a `dist` tree
-built before the bump publishes the previous version number with the new code,
-and `lerna publish` reports success while doing it. Always run
-`pnpm build:packages` (or rely on each package's `prepack`) between the version
-bump and the publish.
-
-Those packages also depend on each other through `workspace:^`, which `npm
-publish` cannot resolve — only `pnpm publish`/`pnpm pack` rewrite it. Their build
-therefore ends with `node ../../scripts/resolve-dist-workspace-deps.mjs &&
-makage check-publish`, which turns `"blocks-schema": "workspace:^"` into
-`"^0.3.0"` in the dist manifest and then fails the build if any workspace range
-survived. `pnpm check:dist-manifests` (part of `pnpm check`) re-checks both
-properties — dist version equals source version, no `workspace:` ranges — across
-all six packages.
