+## Desktop Release Workflow
+- Desktop releases are built remotely by GitHub Actions, not by uploading local build artifacts.
+- The release workflow is `.github/workflows/release-desktop.yml`; it triggers automatically on `push` of tags matching `v*.*.*`.
+- GitHub Release body is sourced from `release-notes/vX.Y.Z.md` in the tagged commit. Keep the filename aligned with the version/tag exactly.
+- Use `bun run scripts/release.ts <version>` to cut a desktop release. The script updates version files, refreshes `desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.lock`, requires the matching `release-notes/vX.Y.Z.md`, commits it, and creates the annotated tag.
+- The normal release push is `git push origin main --tags`. If the tag, app version, or release-notes filename do not match, the workflow is designed to fail fast instead of publishing the wrong release.
+- For local macOS test packaging, `desktop/scripts/build-macos-arm64.sh` is the canonical Apple Silicon build entrypoint, and outputs land under `desktop/build-artifacts/macos-arm64/`.
+
+## Docs Workflow Notes
+- The docs workflow is `.github/workflows/deploy-docs.yml` and uses `npm ci`, not Bun. When root `package.json` dependencies change, keep `package-lock.json` in the same commit or the docs build will fail.
+- The docs workflow currently runs on Node 22; avoid reintroducing older Node assumptions there without checking dependency engine requirements.

 ## Coding Style & Naming Conventions
 Use TypeScript with 2-space indentation, ESM imports, and no semicolons to match the existing code. Prefer `PascalCase` for React components, `camelCase` for functions, hooks, and stores, and descriptive file names like `teamWatcher.ts` or `AgentTranscript.tsx`. Keep shared UI in `desktop/src/components/`, API clients in `desktop/src/api/`, and avoid adding new dependencies unless the existing utilities cannot cover the change.
