## Installation
+### Requirements
+
+None. Claude Code is **not required** to be installed beforehand — the app includes a built-in installer and login, so you can set up everything directly from the app.
+

+# Release Guide
+
+## Versioning (SemVer)
+
+Format: `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`
+
+| Bump | When | Example |
+|---------|-------------------------------------------------------------|------------------|
+| MAJOR | Breaking changes, major UI overhaul, incompatible data format changes | 1.0.0 → 2.0.0 |
+| MINOR | New features, new panels/views, new integrations | 1.0.0 → 1.1.0 |
+| PATCH | Bug fixes, performance improvements, small UI tweaks | 1.0.0 → 1.0.1 |
+
+## Release Process
+
+### 1. Prepare
+
+```bash
+# Make sure branch is clean and pushed
+git status
+git push origin
+```
+
+### 2. Create tag and push
+
+```bash
+git tag v
+git push origin v
+```
+
+This triggers the `release.yml` GitHub Actions workflow which:
+- Builds the app (ubuntu)
+- Packages macOS arm64 + x64 (with code signing & notarization)
+- Packages Windows (NSIS installer)
+- Packages Linux (AppImage, deb, rpm, pacman)
+- Creates a GitHub Release with all artifacts
+
+### 3. Update release notes
+
+After the workflow completes, edit the release notes:
+
+```bash
+gh release edit v --repo 777genius/claude_agent_teams_ui --notes "$(cat <<'EOF'
+
+EOF
+)"
+```
+
+## Release Notes Template
+
+```markdown

+
+## Changelog Guidelines
+
+Write changelog entries from the **user's perspective**, not the developer's.
+
+**Good:**
+- "Add team member activity timeline with live status tracking"
+- "Fix crash when opening sessions with corrupted JSONL data"
+- "Improve session list loading speed by 3x with streaming parser"
+
+**Bad:**
+- "Refactor ChunkBuilder to use new pipeline"
+- "Update dependencies"
+- "Fix bug in useEffect cleanup"
+
+Group entries by type: `What's New` > `Improvements` > `Bug Fixes` > `Breaking Changes` (if any).
+
+## File Naming Convention
+
+electron-builder generates these artifacts per platform:
+
+| Platform | Versioned Name | Stable Name (for /latest/download) |
+|------------------|--------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------|
+| macOS arm64 DMG | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI--arm64.dmg` | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-arm64.dmg` |
+| macOS x64 DMG | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-.dmg` | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-x64.dmg` |
+| macOS arm64 ZIP | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI--arm64-mac.zip` | — |
+| macOS x64 ZIP | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI--mac.zip` | — |
+| Windows | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-Setup-.exe` | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-Setup.exe` |
+| Linux AppImage | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-.AppImage` | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI.AppImage` |
+| Linux deb | `claude-agent-teams-ui__amd64.deb` | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-amd64.deb` |
+| Linux rpm | `claude-agent-teams-ui-.x86_64.rpm` | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-x86_64.rpm` |
+| Linux pacman | `claude-agent-teams-ui-.pacman` | `Claude-Agent-Teams-UI.pacman` |
+
+## Stable Download Links
+
+The `upload-stable-links` job in `release.yml` re-uploads key assets with version-agnostic names.
+This enables permanent links in README that always point to the latest release:
+
+```
+https://github.com/777genius/claude_agent_teams_ui/releases/latest/download/Claude-Agent-Teams-UI-arm64.dmg
+```
+
+GitHub automatically redirects `/releases/latest/download/FILENAME` to the asset from the most recent release. No README updates needed when releasing a new version.
+
+## macOS Code Signing
+
+macOS builds are signed and notarized via GitHub Actions secrets:
+
+| Secret | Description |
+|-------------------------------|------------------------------|
+| `CSC_LINK` | Base64-encoded .p12 certificate |
+| `CSC_KEY_PASSWORD` | Certificate password |
+| `APPLE_ID` | Apple Developer account email |
+| `APPLE_APP_SPECIFIC_PASSWORD` | App-specific password from appleid.apple.com |
+| `APPLE_TEAM_ID` | Apple Developer Team ID |
+
+Without these secrets, macOS builds will be unsigned (users need to bypass Gatekeeper manually).
+
+## Auto-Update
+
+electron-builder generates `latest-mac.yml`, `latest.yml`, `latest-linux.yml` alongside release artifacts. These files enable the built-in auto-updater — users get notified when a new version is available.
+
+## Quick Reference
+
+```bash
+# Create and publish a release
+git tag v1.1.0
+git push origin v1.1.0
+# Wait for CI to finish (~10 min), then update notes
+
+# Delete a release (if needed)
+gh release delete v1.1.0 --repo 777genius/claude_agent_teams_ui --yes
+git tag -d v1.1.0
+git push origin :refs/tags/v1.1.0
+
+# Check workflow status
+gh run list --repo 777genius/claude_agent_teams_ui --workflow release.yml --limit 3
+```
