Auto-publish the DMG to Releases on merge to main + prominent README download link - #19

…ad link Releases never appeared: release-macos-dmg.yml only fired on a v* tag push (blocked from the Claude Code session's git proxy) or a manual UI publish, so the Release area stayed empty and releases/latest/download/LaughCounter.dmg 404'd. - release-macos-dmg.yml now also runs on push to main (mac/** paths): it derives v<version> from Info.plist and creates/updates that GitHub Release with the DMG via GITHUB_TOKEN (which can tag/release from Actions, unlike the session). The release: published and workflow_dispatch triggers remain. - build-macos-dmg.yml excludes main now (release-macos-dmg owns main) to avoid a duplicate build. - Root README gets a prominent top-of-file download line (latest DMG + all releases); mac/README documents the auto-publish-on-merge flow.

The two release-automation gotchas learned wiring release-macos-dmg.yml were only recorded in commit messages (#13, #19) and the workflow YAML comments, so a future session touching the release flow wouldn't be pointed at them. Re-home them into a local instruction doc reachable from CLAUDE.md: - A Claude Code web session's git proxy can't push v* tags, so a tag-triggered release never fires from a session — trigger on push-to-main instead (#18/#19). - A UI-published Release doesn't emit push: tags — add release: published so a hand-published Release still builds/attaches the DMG (#11/#13). Creates the dev/procedures/ instruction-doc scaffold (none existed) and imports it from the root CLAUDE.md.

Fixes the empty Releases area and the 404ing latest-download link.
Why it was broken:
release-macos-dmg.ymlonly fired on av*tag push (blocked from the Claude Code session's git proxy, 403) or a manual UI publish — so no release ever got created.Fix:
release-macos-dmg.ymlnow also runs on push tomain(mac/**paths): it derivesv<version>fromInfo.plistand creates/updates that GitHub Release withLaughCounter.dmgattached, viaGITHUB_TOKEN(which can tag/release from Actions).release: published+workflow_dispatchtriggers remain. A release made withGITHUB_TOKENdoesn't re-fire thereleaseevent, so no loop.build-macos-dmg.ymlnow excludesmain(the release workflow owns it) to avoid a duplicate build.mac/READMEdocuments the auto-publish-on-merge flow.Once this merges, the push to
mainwill publish the v0.2.1 release automatically and the latest-download link will resolve.Closes #18
