 - [ ] 配置修改
 - [ ] 其他 (具体是什么，请补充?)
 
+### 🧪 是否需要发布测试版本（npm 预发布包）
+
+<!--
+如果本次改动需要通过 npm 测试版用于内部灰度，请在勾选的同时，为 PR 添加对应的 label：
+- `release:alpha`：早期验证用测试版
+- `release:beta`：相对稳定的测试版
+- `release:rc`：接近正式发布的候选版本
+
+当 PR 合入 `test-release` 分支且带有上述 label 时，将自动触发测试发布流程。
+-->
+
+- [ ] 不需要，仅本地验证即可
+- [ ] 需要测试发布（请确保已添加合适的 `release:*` label）
