     * Create release notes, in `RELEASE_NOTES.md`, highlighting the new features and changes in the version. This is needed so the bot knows which entries to add to the release page on GitHub.
     * Additionally verify that the `UPGRADING.md` file is up to date and contains all the necessary information for upgrading to the new version.
 * Remove GitHub workflows that should not be in the release branch
-    * `deploy-docs.yml`: must be removed to avoid duplicate documentation deployment.
-    * `test.yml`: All standalone go module tests should be removed (expect `./simapp`, and `./tests` and SDK tests).

         * These packages are tracked and tested directly on main.
