Every release carries the app; alias branch syncs itself - #6
Merged
Conversation
Two things the last release exposed. 1. The README offers 'download the app' from /releases/latest, but v31.99-3 shipped node tarballs only — so that link is a 404 right now, and the double-click path for non-technical Mac users is the most visible thing on the site. The macOS job now builds and attaches BitcoinVibes.dmg to every release, verified building from a clean clone of origin/master exactly as CI will. 2. The vibes alias has silently fallen behind master three times, because syncing it was a step somebody had to remember. It is now a workflow that fast-forwards on every push to master, and refuses -- loudly -- if it ever isn't a fast-forward, rather than forcing. Also strips the binaries before packaging: the Linux artifact was 132MB of largely debug symbols, which is a long download for something handed to beginners.

Two problems the last release surfaced.
1. The README's app download is a live 404. It points at
/releases/latest, which is nowv31.99-3— node tarballs, no DMG. The 'double-click, no terminal' path is the most prominent thing on the site and it is currently broken. The macOS job now builds and attachesBitcoinVibes.dmgto every release. Verified by building from a clean clone oforigin/master, exactly as CI will.2.
vibeshas drifted behindmasterthree times. It exists so pre-rename install links keep resolving, and syncing it was a step someone had to remember. Now a workflow fast-forwards it on every push to master — and fails loudly rather than forcing if it is ever not a fast-forward.Also: binaries are stripped before packaging. The Linux artifact was 132MB of largely debug symbols.
