Desktop Release

Opens a version-bump PR for the Kansoku desktop app. Everything after the PR merge is automated:

this skill → release PR (ci.yml gates it) → merge to main
  → desktop-tag.yml creates desktop-vX.Y.Z + dispatches desktop-release.yml
  → build, sign, appcast, publish GitHub Release (notes from CHANGELOG.md)
  → users receive the Sparkle update

Optional argument: patch | minor | major — skips the bump suggestion step.

Steps

1. Preflight (stop with an explanation if any fails)

git status --porcelain        # must be empty
git branch --show-current     # must be main
git fetch origin main && git rev-list --count main..origin/main   # must be 0

2. Collect what shipped

LAST_TAG=$(git describe --tags --match 'desktop-v*' --abbrev=0)
git log "$LAST_TAG"..HEAD --oneline -- apps/ packages/ patches/ scripts/

If git describe finds no tag, this is the first release — use the full history of those paths. If there are no commits touching apps/, packages/, patches/, or scripts/ since the last tag, stop: nothing to release.

Read the actual diffs of significant commits when the one-line messages aren't enough to describe user-visible changes.

3. Decide the version

Current version: node -p "require('./apps/desktop/package.json').version".

If the user passed patch/minor/major, apply it directly. Otherwise suggest one — any feat → minor, only fixes/refactors/chores → patch, breaking changes to user data or workflows → major — and ask the user to confirm the version number before continuing.

4. Write the release notes

Prepend a section to apps/desktop/CHANGELOG.md (below the file header, above the previous version's section):

## X.Y.Z — YYYY-MM-DD

- 更新点……

Rules for the notes (they become the GitHub Release body verbatim, and users read them):

• 中文白话, user-facing. Describe what the user will notice, not what the code did. "图表页新增指标开关" not "refactor indicator pipeline".
• Skip internal-only changes (refactors, CI, tests) unless they change behavior users can feel (e.g. faster startup).
• A handful of bullet points; group related commits into one bullet.
• Tickers, CLI/API names, file paths stay in English; no finance jargon without a plain-Chinese gloss.

5. Bump the version

Update version in apps/desktop/package.json to the confirmed X.Y.Z.

6. Open the PR

git checkout -b release/desktop-vX.Y.Z
git add apps/desktop/package.json apps/desktop/CHANGELOG.md
git commit -m "release(desktop): vX.Y.Z"
git push -u origin release/desktop-vX.Y.Z
gh pr create --title "release(desktop): vX.Y.Z" --body "<release notes section>"

PR body = the new CHANGELOG section, plus one line noting that merging will auto-tag and publish the release.

7. Hand off

Show the PR link and remind: merge = release. After merge, desktop-tag.yml tags and dispatches desktop-release.yml; the release publishes automatically and the Sparkle feed goes live immediately.

Then switch back to main: git checkout main.

Guards

• Never tag manually here — tagging is desktop-tag.yml's job after merge.
• Never skip the CHANGELOG section — desktop-release.yml fails the build if the ## X.Y.Z section is missing.
• Version in package.json and the CHANGELOG heading must match exactly (CI cross-checks tag vs package.json).
