Please stop making bad HTML forms. I know you really want to. Stop. I know you want to add really strict name validation. Stop. I know you want to add really strict email validation. Stop. Stop breaking HTML forms. I know you want to be clever. Stop. Stop making really bad HTML forms. Stop. Just let the browser do what it wants to do. Use proper input types. Do some lightweight sensible validation. Then validate server-side. Stop making really bad HTML forms. Please. Stop.

PHP Composer package my-org/my-package compiles into ./dist/my-package/. Not checked into source.

Zip the contents of ./dist/my-package/ into ./dist/release/my-package-1.0.0.zip. not checked into source.

Consumer in a private Bitbucket repository will install my-org/my-package in a Bitbucket pipeline.

What are your best tips for making this happen?
