+### Bug Fixes
+
+* build-example.sh finds the repo root after moving under tests/ ([17d31b6](https://github.com/neuromatch/course-kit/commit/17d31b6c5379cf4b4cd830816f7aededec0d5e24))
+* don't force provenance in package.json (CI passes --provenance) ([5199e87](https://github.com/neuromatch/course-kit/commit/5199e875c476013ebcf573ce721e4460382fce07))
+* reorganize repo, add release manifest and package metadata ([b1a96c7](https://github.com/neuromatch/course-kit/commit/b1a96c725a5c94ceefd08cf8d1ac61e180a3c381))
