+- ci: install only `twine`/`packaging` in the release job instead of the full `.[dev]` extra, so it no longer compiles `gssapi` (avoids the `krb5-config: not found` build failure on the release runner)
 
 ## [v0.3.0](https://github.com/Mapepire-IBMi/mapepire-python/releases/tag/v0.3.0) - 2026-06-29
