Sparkle Appcast Checklist

Purpose

Validate updater/appcast readiness without performing release publication actions.

When this Skill should trigger

• appcast.xml or updater policy changes
• release readiness checks for direct-channel builds
• Sparkle recovery/contract validation requests

Inputs

• optional release tag (vX.Y.Z or vX.Y.Z-rc.N)
• optional env: HELM_ENABLE_REHEARSAL=1 to run full rehearsal

Outputs

• checklist pass/fail status
• blocking checks (if any)
• explicit manual next steps for publish workflows

Safety rules

• default to dry-run/checklist mode
• never create/publish releases from this skill
• never mutate appcast metadata from this skill
• require explicit user confirmation for any release mutation path

Steps executed

1. Run .opencode/skills/sparkle-appcast-checklist/scripts/run-checklist.sh [tag].
2. Execute policy/contract checks in non-destructive mode.
3. Optionally run full rehearsal only when explicitly enabled.
4. Return checklist outcome and manual follow-up steps.
