Hello!
So recently I've been interviewing and I believe things are going well. I can't remember if we've talked money yet (and if we had would it be bad to ask again?) and it's getting to the point where the process is coming to a close.
How do I bring it up and are there any gotchas I should look out for?

when i was interviewing some months back, i would usually only hear salary talk after the interview stage. occasionally some companies would ask about salary range upfront in the recruiter screen, but the most important salary talk was post-interview

If you're this far in the process and they haven't asked yet, they'll usually try and set salary expectations right before the offer.
Recruiter screen is when salary usually first comes up, it's to your advantage to not give a number here. Ask for the range they're paying, and if your expectation is below the range, you know it's time to drop out (or see if they can meet it if you really like the company).
If you're already deep in the process I'd wait and see if they ask you, otherwise you'll find out when they offer. They know what their budget is, deflect when they ask you your current salary or your salary expectations. I'd only bring up salary at this point if they want you to do a project or another 4 hours of interviews or something.

@noble nacelle thank you for that insight and the advice to just wait and see.
All I know is what I can find on Glassdoor and indeed and something +/-10% of those numbers would work. I'll try not to spoil by giving a number first

You can give this a read for ideas to dodge the question: https://fearlesssalarynegotiation.com/book/interview/dont-share-current-or-desired-salary/
From where you are in the process, I'd just wait for the offer over giving an amount. If they ask and tip that they're going to offer, just say you're excited to see the details of the offer. If you feel really backed into a corner, give a range that you'd be excited to accept, don't let them know your absolute minimum.

There's basically no value in giving a number unless u already have in mind the number you'd accept. For example beat $x from a competing offer or not interested
But as with this question always getting asked u need to add context of what salary u want and years exp before anyone can really say

In my experience, the more YOE you have, the earlier you talk about money. I bring up pay in the initial call with a recruiter. It is also to your advantage to bring up pay first, because the pressure is on them to answer or decline to answer.

the fearless negotiation link is good. there's also https://statico.link/negotiation and https://statico.link/10rules
there's no harm in asking "can you give me an idea of what the salary range would be in this position?"
