Release notes now live in the repo at docs/releases/vX.Y.Z.md, authored during the
version bump (before the tag). ensure_release (gitea-release.sh + .ps1 twin) seeds the
Gitea release body from that file in the create POST, so the release is born WITH its
notes instead of being created empty and PATCHed afterward. canary/rc have no file ->
empty body, unchanged.
New manual `announce` workflow (workflow_dispatch, tag input) re-syncs the notes file
over the live release and posts a violet embed (title, notes lead-in, release-page link)
to the Discord #releases channel via the DISCORD_RELEASE_WEBHOOK secret. Stable-only:
a -rc tag is refused unless allow_prerelease=true. Pressing "go" is the quality gate, so
a half-built or failed release is never announced.
docs/releases/README.md documents the ritual; TEMPLATE.md is the skeleton.

A push to main publishes canary builds to canary channels (fast iteration,
unchanged); a single vX.Y.Z tag releases every platform at one version to the
stable channels and attaches all artifacts (.deb/.rpm/.msix/.apk/.aab/.dmg +
flatpak/decky/host-installer) to one Gitea Release. Collapses the
host-v*/win-v*/host-win-v* tag namespaces into v* — the channel split makes the
version-shadow bug structurally impossible (canary and stable are separate repos,
never a shared version line).
- scripts/ci/gitea-release.{sh,ps1}: one idempotent release helper
(create-or-fetch + delete-before-upload), replacing 3 copy-pasted inline blocks
and fixing their latent 409-on-reupload bug; prerelease flag auto-derived from
the tag (an -rc tag won't shadow "Latest")
- channels: apt canary/stable distributions; rpm *-canary/base groups; flatpak
canary/stable OSTree branches + a 2nd .Canary.flatpakref; generic-registry
canary/ vs latest/ aliases; Play internal/alpha; Apple TestFlight vs notarized DMG
- android versionName threaded through gradle (versionCode stays run_number);
Apple canary = TestFlight-only (no DMG/tvOS); canary base bumped to 0.3.0
- docs: new docs-site channels.md (subscribe table + cut-a-release runbook +
box migration), refreshed ci.md workflow table + packaging READMEs
