- macOS: .pkg installer replaces the DMG; Linux: .AppImage replaces the ZIP
- winmain runs velopack.App() first (proper hook handling) and checks for
  updates in the background; downloads are applied on next launch
- release.py uploads the vpk update feed (releases.<channel>.json, nupkgs)
  so GiteaSource finds updates on the latest release
- guibuild.py bootstraps a .NET runtime into build/dotnet when the runner
  host lacks one

# Development
This document covers the developer-facing ways to run MediaHive locally. The main [README.md](../README.md) covers end-user startup across platforms (portable ZIPs on Windows/macOS, `uvx --from mediahive[gui] mediahive` on Linux/other).

The helper scripts are directly executable via their `uv run` shebang (on Windows, run them with `uv run scripts/<name>.py`):
- `./scripts/guibuild.py` builds the PyInstaller desktop app and a versioned portable ZIP under `build/`.
- `./scripts/release.py` publishes a release to the Gitea releases page.
- `./scripts/guibuild.py` builds the PyInstaller desktop app and packages it with Velopack under `build/`: per-user `Setup.exe` (Windows), `.pkg` installer (macOS), `.AppImage` (Linux), plus the update feed in `build/velopack/`. On Windows it also creates a `-win64-portable.zip` (no auto-updates). `vpk` (and a .NET runtime, if the host lacks one) are downloaded into `build/` automatically.
- `./scripts/release.py` publishes a release to the Gitea releases page, uploading the platform artifacts and the Velopack update feed files — installed apps auto-update from the latest release.
Python packaging builds the frontend automatically through the hatch build hook `scripts/fastapi-vue/buildhook.py` (see `pyproject.toml`), so wheels and sdists always ship a fresh `mediahive/frontend-build`.
