Release Checklist

Use this checklist before publishing a GitHub Release.

Project readiness

• The project is finalized for the intended release.
• Final package contents are defined.
• Build-only and development-only files are excluded where possible.
• No secrets, private configs, temporary artifacts, or internal-only files remain.

Licensing

• Release licensing is generated or updated only after release staging.
• THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md is present.
• licenses/ is present.
• PowerShell licensing is covered when PowerShell is present.
• Python Embedded licensing is covered when Python Embedded is present.
• fzf licensing is covered when fzf is present.
• NiceGUI licensing is covered when NiceGUI is present.
• All other third-party components actually present in the final release package are covered.
• Existing harmless baseline license files are acceptable, but notices must match detected staged contents.

Archive quality

• The final ZIP opens correctly.
• The package structure is clean and portable.
• The launcher starts.
• The main workflow passes a smoke test.
• No broken shortcuts, missing binaries, or empty placeholders remain.

GitHub publishing

• The final ZIP is uploaded as a Release asset.
• Users are not expected to download the source archive.
• Release notes describe what the tool does and what is bundled.
• Checksums are attached when the project uses them.

License Collector Engine Check

• Verify that the Python license collector works in the target environment.
• For cross-platform projects, validate the Python engine first.
• PowerShell engine validation is no longer part of the standard release flow.
