From ef60f1f3b68b34e66d562a730617b2d04cee6ac0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: gramps Date: Mon, 26 Oct 2026 10:20:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] TASK 48: distribution & packaging is deferred until we are near v1 Creator ruling 2026-10-26: the remaining programming work is far from release and a complete UX redesign is about to start, so packaging, signing, installer and updater decisions would be chasing scope that is about to move. The task is deferred, not cancelled. Recorded what is frozen: TASK 48 items 6-8, the signing decision, the updater choice (Velopack's deletion left no update path, and StorePackagingTests currently vetoes a new one), and the route question itself - ai.md says the Store route is dead (direct + Steam) while TASKS.md/task-48/HANDOFF still read Store MSIX + Store IAP. That contradiction is to be settled in ONE sweep at the revisit, not patched piecemeal now. --- HANDOFF.md | 9 +++++++++ TASKS.md | 23 ++++++++++++++++++++++- TASKS/task-48-distribution-msix.md | 8 +++++++- 3 files changed, 38 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/HANDOFF.md b/HANDOFF.md index a9aaf25..6e46404 100644 --- a/HANDOFF.md +++ b/HANDOFF.md @@ -254,6 +254,15 @@ Zombie entities deleted from the registry: `script.leak_strobe`, `script.doorbel and that dragging the tile up and enlarging it fills a whole 607×540 area, then switch back and confirm the desktop layout is untouched.
