Publish Flow

Prep

1. Bump the version and update the changelog.
2. Run pnpm lint and pnpm utils:test.
3. Review manifest permissions, keywords, screenshots.

Build

pnpm build

• Outputs dist/ with manifest.json, index.js, assets, and signatures.
• Use pnpm core:build:snapshot to verify the desktop bundle loads correctly.

Submit to Marketplace

1. Upload dist.zip in the developer console.
2. Provide release notes and workspace compatibility.
3. Automated checks validate permissions, performance, and crash metrics.

After Approval

• Updates roll out to followers automatically.
• Choose between “force update” or “optional update”.

Private Distribution

• Enterprises can upload signed internal builds visible only to the org.
• Private packages keep versioning and rollback controls.

Troubleshooting

• Review failures in logs/review/<id>.txt.
• pnpm utils:publish --dry-run catches missing fields before submission.
