# Issue: "error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required"
# Solution: Install Visual Studio Build Tools (Windows)
# Or use wheel distribution instead of source

# Issue: "Permission denied" during build
# Solution: Check file permissions and virtual environment
chmod -R u+w build/ dist/
```

**Upload Failures:**
```bash
# Issue: "403 Forbidden" during upload
# Solution: Verify API token and package permissions
twine upload --username __token__ --password pypi-... dist/*

# Issue: "Package already exists"
# Solution: Version already published, increment version
# Check: https://pypi.org/project/SuperClaude/

# Issue: "File already exists"
# Solution: Clean dist/ directory and rebuild
rm -rf dist/ && python -m build
```

**Installation Issues:**
```bash
# Issue: "No matching distribution found"
# Solution: Check Python version compatibility
python --version  # Must be 3.8+

# Issue: "Command 'SuperClaude' not found"
# Solution: Check PATH and entry points
pip show -f SuperClaude | grep console_scripts
which SuperClaude
```

**GitHub Actions Failures:**
```bash
# Issue: "PYPI_API_TOKEN not found"
# Solution: Configure repository secrets
# GitHub Settings → Secrets → Add PYPI_API_TOKEN

# Issue: "Tag validation failed"

- **Patch Releases**: As needed (bug fixes, security patches)
- **Hotfixes**: Emergency releases for critical issues

## 🔐 Security Best Practices

**API Token Security:**

**Token Management:**
- Use package-scoped tokens (not account-wide) for PyPI publishing
- Rotate tokens quarterly or after any security incident
- Store tokens only in GitHub repository secrets, never in code
- Enable two-factor authentication on PyPI account

**GitHub Secrets Configuration:**
```bash
# Required secrets for automated publishing:
PYPI_API_TOKEN          # PyPI publishing token (scoped to SuperClaude)
CODECOV_TOKEN          # Code coverage reporting
GPG_PRIVATE_KEY        # Optional: GPG signing for releases
GPG_PASSPHRASE         # Optional: GPG key passphrase
```

**Token Scope Configuration:**
- **Project Scope**: Limited to SuperClaude package only
- **Permission Level**: Upload permissions only (not management)
- **Expiration**: Set reasonable expiration dates (1 year maximum)
- **Audit Trail**: Regular review of token usage and access logs

**Credential Protection:**
```bash
# Never store credentials in:
# - Source code or configuration files
# - Shell history or scripts
# - Documentation or comments
# - Temporary files or logs

# Use secure storage:
# - GitHub repository secrets
# - Environment variables (local development)
# - Secure credential managers (keyring, etc.)
```

**Security Monitoring:**
- Enable PyPI security notifications for package changes
- Monitor GitHub Actions logs for credential usage
- Regular audit of repository access and collaborator permissions
- Automated alerts for unauthorized publishing attempts

**Incident Response:**
- Immediately revoke compromised tokens
- Generate new tokens with updated scope
- Review recent package releases for unauthorized changes
- Notify community of security incidents affecting package integrity
