| 271 | +## 🔧 Maintenance |
| 272 | + |
| 273 | +### Updating Workflows |
| 274 | + |
| 275 | +When modifying workflows: |
| 276 | + |
| 277 | +1. Test locally with [act](https://github.com/nektos/act) if possible |
| 278 | +2. Test with pre-release tags first |

| 282 | +### Adding New Extensions |
| 283 | + |
| 284 | +When adding a new extension module: |
| 285 | + |
| 286 | +1. Create `extensions/<name>/go.mod` |
| 287 | +2. Add to `module-detection.yml` filters |
| 288 | +3. Update `scripts/check-module-versions.sh` |
| 289 | +4. Update `scripts/release-modules.sh` |
| 290 | +5. Document in MULTI_MODULE_SUMMARY.md |
| 291 | + |
| 292 | +### Troubleshooting |
| 293 | + |
| 294 | +1. Check GitHub Actions logs |
| 295 | +2. Run `./scripts/check-module-versions.sh` |

| 301 | +## 📞 Support & Questions |
| 302 | + |
| 303 | +### Common Questions |
| 304 | + |
| 305 | +**Q: Why do extensions have their own go.mod?** |
| 306 | +A: To allow independent releases and separate dependency management while maintaining a monorepo structure. |
| 307 | + |
| 308 | +**Q: Do I need to release all modules together?** |
| 309 | +A: No, but it's recommended initially for simplicity. See MONOREPO_STRATEGY.md for options. |
| 310 | + |
| 311 | +**Q: What happens if I only push a main module tag?** |
| 312 | +A: Both CLI release and multi-module release workflows trigger. Extensions are not affected. |
| 313 | + |
| 314 | +**Q: Can I test releases without publishing?** |
| 315 | +A: Yes, use pre-release tags (v1.0.0-beta.1) or the snapshot feature in GoReleaser. |
| 316 | + |
| 317 | +### Getting Help |
| 318 | + |
| 319 | +1. Check documentation (start with QUICK_REFERENCE.md) |
| 320 | +2. Run diagnostic scripts (`./scripts/check-module-versions.sh`) |
| 321 | +3. Review GitHub Actions logs |
| 322 | +4. Check the troubleshooting sections in each document |
