Summary

Wires up the desktop app's release + auto-update pipeline on GitHub Releases (no extra infra), and adds the website download button. After this merges, a v0.1.0 tag triggers a fully signed + notarized macOS release with working auto-update.

Changes

  • Auto-update endpoint → GitHub Releases (tauri.conf.json): points the updater at releases/latest/download/latest.json, and rotates to a fresh minisign pubkey (B0A29640). The matching private key is held for CI signing (TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY secret).
  • CI (release.yml): auto-publishes releases (releaseDraft: false) so the latest permalink resolves immediately, and trims the build matrix to macOS-only to conserve the org's free Actions minutes (macOS bills at 10×).
  • Website download (apps/web/src/app/download + DownloadDesktopButton): a /download page whose button reads the latest GitHub release via the API and links straight to the universal .dmg — stays current across releases with no edits.
  • Local build helper (release-dmg.sh): one command for a local signed + notarized universal DMG (for testing; official releases come from CI).

Prerequisites (already done)

All 15 CI secrets are set: TAURI_SIGNING_PRIVATE_KEY (+ password), the six APPLE_*, and the NEXT_PUBLIC_* build vars.

Release flow after merge

  1. Merge this PR to main
  2. git tag v0.1.0 && git push origin v0.1.0
  3. CI builds → signs → notarizes → signs updater artifact → publishes the release
  4. Auto-update goes live; the website /download button auto-points at the new DMG

Note

This first tagged build is where any slightly-off secret value would surface (e.g. a bad .p12 password). A failed CI run is safe — nothing publishes unless the build fully succeeds.

Set up the desktop release + auto-update pipeline on GitHub Releases:

- updater endpoint -> releases/latest/download/latest.json, and rotate to a
  fresh minisign pubkey (B0A29640) whose private key is held for CI signing
- release.yml: auto-publish (releaseDraft: false) and trim the build matrix to
  macOS-only to conserve the org's free Actions minutes (macOS bills at 10x)
- add apps/web /download page + DownloadDesktopButton (reads the latest GitHub
  release via API, links straight to the universal .dmg, stays current across
  releases)
- add apps/desktop/scripts/release-dmg.sh for local signed+notarized DMG builds
