Release a Phone-Built Project Safely

Mission

Automate tests, dependency documentation, archive creation and checksums for a clean Git release.

Required work

1. Run smoke and failure tests
2. Remove secrets and generated state
3. Create versioned archive and checksum
4. Verify setup from a fresh clone

Evidence to produce

A tagged release archive, SHA-256 file, test log and reproducible setup instructions.

Quality checks

The result must name its sources, separate observation from assumption, preserve originals and explain limitations.
