Tag v0.1.0-beta.1 (dev channel) once CI is green on main, and verify the whole chain: tag → release workflow → GitHub Release with gclo-dev-Setup.exe + portable + delta assets + gclo-cli-win-x64.zip → install → in-app Check for updates detects and applies a subsequent release. Then first stable v0.1.0.

Watch-list from the CI/CD agent (unverified-by-execution):

vpk download github flag spelling (--pre/--channel) — step is continue-on-error; only delta generation is at risk.
Release dotnet publish runs with PublishTrimmed=true (Release default in csproj): watch for IL2xxx trim warnings from Velopack; set -p:PublishTrimmed=false if it fights back (already done for the app publish; check the CLI).
dependency-review allow-license SPDX WITH expressions may need simplifying.
Coverage gate assumes cobertura package name gclo.Engine.

Pipeline proven twice: beta.2 (first complete release) and beta.3 (ships #2 path recovery; created as draft->assets->changelog->publish per the immutable-release fix). Remaining for this issue: install gclo-dev-Setup.exe from beta.2 or earlier, then Help > Check for updates should find beta.3 and update-and-restart — needs an interactive desktop, owner to confirm. After that: first stable tag v0.1.0.

Beta pipeline fully proven. 13 dev betas (v0.1.0-beta.1 → beta.13) have each gone tag → release workflow → GitHub Release with the full asset set (gclo-dev-Setup.exe, Portable, full + delta .nupkg, gclo-cli-win-x64.zip, releases.dev.json). Delta generation works; the coverage-gate note is moot (the gate now enforces 100% across three packages, not a 60% gclo.Engine assumption); no trim/publish fights materialized.

Remaining before this closes:

Owner-verify Check for updates applies a newer release in an installed build (the dev-channel discovery bug that would have blocked this was fixed in beta.12).
Cut the first stable v0.1.0 (needs #7 publishing secrets first).

✅ Self-update verified on a real install (owner-confirmed): a v0.1.0-beta.11 install ran Help → Check for updates, found v0.1.0-beta.13, and updated + relaunched successfully. The dev-channel discovery fix (beta.12) works. Only the first stable v0.1.0 (gated on #7 secrets) remains before this closes.

🎉 v1.0.0 shipped — the first stable release is live: https://github.com/KofTwentyTwo/gclo/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Marked as latest (non-prerelease) with the full stable asset set: gclo-stable-Setup.exe, gclo-stable-Portable.zip, gclo-cli-win-x64.zip, the full package, and releases.stable.json. Beta pipeline was proven across 15 dev betas; self-update was owner-verified on a real install. The whole tag → workflow → GitHub Release chain works end to end for both channels.

NuGet and winget publishing were skipped (no secrets configured) — tracked in #7.
