Release Readiness Review

Use this skill when a change touches release automation, packaging, installer
behavior, update manifests, version metadata, Homebrew, Bun package publishing,
signing, notarization, or user-facing release docs.

Required Review Areas

• Version alignment:
  • root package.json
  • root bun.lock
  • Tauri apps/desktop/src-tauri/tauri.conf.json
  • Xcode MARKETING_VERSION
  • visible About/update version strings
• Build artifacts:
  • app bundle layout
  • Quick Look and thumbnail appex placement
  • updater zip
  • manual dmg
  • generated checksum files
• Signing and notarization:
  • Developer ID identity
  • Apple team credentials
  • notarytool profile
  • ad-hoc release escape hatch behavior
• Package managers:
  • external Homebrew tap SergeiNikolenko/homebrew-burette
  • HOMEBREW_TAP_TOKEN
  • cask version and sha256
  • Bun package under packages/burette
• User-facing release notes:
  • GitHub release page sections from .github/release.yml
  • CHANGELOG.md points to GitHub Releases
  • concise user-facing entries, not raw implementation logs

Checks

Prefer:

bun run check:release

For stable releases, also verify the external Homebrew tap after the workflow
completes:

brew tap SergeiNikolenko/burette
brew update
brew info --cask SergeiNikolenko/burette/burette
brew fetch --cask --force SergeiNikolenko/burette/burette

Output

Return release blockers first. Include stale tap/cask metadata, missing secrets,
version drift, unsigned/not-notarized assumptions, and missing release-note
labels.
