# AI-Pass IDE release feed

This directory is the **generic publish URL** for `electron-updater`:

`https://aipass.space/downloads/releases/`

## Files electron-updater expects

After `pnpm --filter @ai-pass/ide dist:<platform>`, copy from `apps/ide/release/`:

| File | Platform |
|------|----------|
| `latest-mac.yml` + `.dmg` / `-mac.zip` (+ `.blockmap`) | macOS |
| `latest.yml` + NSIS `.exe` (+ `.blockmap`) | Windows |
| `latest-linux.yml` + `.AppImage` / `.deb` | Linux |
| `version.json` | Human + downloads page metadata |

`electron-builder` generates the YML manifests with correct `sha512` hashes when you publish or when you run a full dist. **Do not ship placeholder YML to production** — replace with builder output.

## Publish checklist

1. Bump `version` in `apps/ide/package.json`.
2. Build signed artifacts (see `docs/IDE.md`).
3. Upload binaries + YML + blockmaps to this folder on the static host.
4. Update `version.json` (`status: "available"`, real paths, notes).
5. Smoke-test: install previous version → launch → confirm update prompt.

## Local staging feed

```bash
AIPASS_UPDATE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:3000/downloads/releases/ \
  pnpm --filter @ai-pass/ide start
```

(Packaged builds only perform real update checks.)
