Closes the packaging gap found while moving bread-ecosystem apps off
pacman onto bakery-only distribution: pacman's package() typically installs
a LICENSE file and, for GUI/onboarding apps, a .desktop entry and sometimes
a data directory (e.g. breadhelp's guide content). All three follow the
same download-verify-place pattern ConfigScaffold.example already
established:
- license_file -> ~/.local/share/licenses/<name>/LICENSE
- desktop_file -> ~/.local/share/applications/<name>.desktop
- data_archive -> a .tar.gz extracted to ~/.local/share/<name>/ (for
arbitrary data too big/structured for a single file, via `tar`)
gen-index.sh parses all three from bakery.toml, hashes the artifact, and
now excludes them from the binaries-collection loop (previously undetected
gap: they'd have been swept in as fake "binaries" with no checksum, same
class of bug the existing .toml/.service/etc exclusions guard against).
Also registers breadhelp as a bakery-channel product.
CLAUDE.md now points to CONTRIBUTING.md as the canonical workflow doc
instead of duplicating the release lifecycle inline. docs/release-channels.md's
current-state table was stale — it still said beta/dev wasn't rolled out
to the sibling repos, which is now done.
CLAUDE.md and docs/release-channels.md now describe the full cycle: work
lands on feature/fix branches merged into dev, dev auto-publishes on every
push, beta is cut from dev as a frozen stabilization branch (also
auto-publishing on every push, fixes forwarded from fix/<issue> branches),
and after a quiet freeze period beta merges to main and gets tagged for
the actual stable release. Also fixes README's stale reference to
.github/workflows (actual CI lives under .forgejo/workflows) and links
out to the new CONTRIBUTING.md.
Beta is now a real stabilization branch: publishes on every push to
`beta` (mirroring dev's model, auto-versioned X.Y.Z-beta.<ts>+<sha>,
base version from the latest published tag) instead of a manual
beta-v* tag. Fixes made during the freeze land via fix/<issue> branches
merged into `beta` directly. The gen-index.sh clone for beta pulls
bread-ecosystem's default branch (main) rather than pinning to dev,
since beta is the more stable track and main now carries the
TRACK-aware script.
