ci(release): tagged installer releases (Windows + Linux; macOS on demand) (#36) * ci(release): build native installers for all platforms on merge to main Closes #35. The repo had no published releases and no way to run Lagebuch without a .NET SDK. release.yml existed from the first App PR but was never used: it triggered on v* tags (never pushed), covered only win/linux, and produced bare executables rather than installers. Every merge to main now builds and publishes a prerelease with a real installer per platform: Windows lagebuch--x64.msi (WiX v5) Linux lagebuch__amd64.deb (dpkg-deb, .desktop + icon) macOS lagebuch--macos-arm64.dmg (drag-to-Applications, ad-hoc signed) Version is 0.1., published as a prerelease so nothing is promoted to "Latest" automatically. workflow_dispatch runs the identical build for testing but creates no release or tag (release job is gated on event_name == 'push'), so the pipeline can be exercised from a branch on the real runners before merge. Packaging lives in packaging/{windows,linux,macos} as committed, reusable scripts/authoring rather than inline YAML, so each step runs the same locally and in CI. The .msi uses a fixed UpgradeCode so new versions replace the old. Packages are unsigned -- no Apple Developer ID or Windows cert -- and the README documents the one-time Gatekeeper/SmartScreen steps. A placeholder icon (Feuerwehr cross pattée in the app's signal red on its dark tile) is generated as .svg/.png/.ico and wired into the exe, the .msi shortcut, the .app bundle and the .desktop entry; the macOS .icns is derived on the runner. Clearly a placeholder, easily swapped. Also, per the repo's action-pinning policy: every workflow action is pinned to a full commit SHA (release.yml and the existing ci.yml, which used movable @v4), and a dependabot config is added for the github-actions and nuget ecosystems. Not locally verifiable: the WiX MSI build and the macOS .app/.dmg only run on their respective OSes (WiX explicitly refuses non-Windows). The Linux .deb is verified end to end on Linux -- dpkg-deb -I/-c on the built package. The MSI and DMG are validated by a workflow_dispatch run on the real runners before merge.

On every merge to main that is ~360 min/month for releases alone. Release on an intentional version tag instead. Pushing v0.2.0 builds and publishes the Windows + Linux installers (~9 billable min); the version comes from the tag, which is proper semver rather than 0.1.. macOS carries the 10x multiplier, so it is not built on every tag. Run the workflow manually with a version and the .dmg is built and attached to that release. workflow_dispatch is retained for exactly this. The three trigger paths are independent: a tag push skips the macOS job, a dispatch skips windows/linux/release. Packaging steps are unchanged and were already validated on the real runners.
