## Appcast entry
1. Generate the ed25519 signature (requires `SPARKLE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE`):
```bash
SPARKLE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE=/Users/steipete/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/Backup/Sparkle/ed25519-private-key \
apps/macos/.build/artifacts/sparkle/Sparkle/bin/sign_update dist/Clawdis-0.1.0.zip
```
Copy the reported signature and file size.
2. Edit `appcast.xml` (root of repo), add a new `<item>` at the top pointing to the GitHub release asset. Example snippet to adapt:
```xml
<item>
<title>Clawdis 0.1.0</title>
<sparkle:releaseNotesLink>https://github.com/steipete/clawdis/releases/tag/v0.1.0</sparkle:releaseNotesLink>
<pubDate>Sun, 07 Dec 2025 12:00:00 +0000</pubDate>
<enclosure url="https://github.com/steipete/clawdis/releases/download/v0.1.0/Clawdis-0.1.0.zip"
sparkle:edSignature="<signature from sign_update>"
sparkle:version="0.1.0"
sparkle:shortVersionString="0.1.0"
length="<zip byte size>"
type="application/octet-stream" />
</item>
```
Keep the newest item first; leave the channel metadata intact.
3. Commit the updated `appcast.xml` alongside the release assets (zip + dSYM) when publishing.
Use the release note generator so Sparkle renders formatted HTML notes:
```bash
SPARKLE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE=/Users/steipete/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/Backup/Sparkle/ed25519-private-key scripts/make_appcast.sh dist/Clawdis-0.1.0.zip https://raw.githubusercontent.com/steipete/clawdis/main/appcast.xml
```
Generates HTML release notes from `CHANGELOG.md` (via `scripts/changelog-to-html.sh`) and embeds them in the appcast entry.
Commit the updated `appcast.xml` alongside the release assets (zip + dSYM) when publishing.
## Publish & verify
- Upload `Clawdis-0.1.0.zip` (and `Clawdis-0.1.0.dSYM.zip`) to the GitHub release for tag `v0.1.0`.
