Open Formula/{name}.rb or Casks/{name}.rb — read it first, keep its structure
Confirm the upstream release exists (stop if 404)
Update version, url/mirror, sha256, and version checks in test only
Fetch checksums; verify at least one with shasum -a 256

curl -sL "https://github.com/{owner}/{repo}/releases/download/v{VERSION}/checksums.txt"
curl -sL "<url>" | shasum -a 256

Dry run (default): show diff, verify checksums, no file edits, no commit.

Apply + commit: only when explicitly asked. Check git log -- <file> for message style.
