description	Build the QualityBuilder mod (Release) and deploy the DLL to Versions/v1.6/Assemblies/. Use when asked to build, compile, or deploy the mod after code changes.
disable-model-invocation	true

Build the mod and deploy the compiled DLL to the active RimWorld 1.6 version folder.

1. Compile Release:

   dotnet build _PROJECT/QualityBuilder.csproj -c Release
   

   This targets .NET Framework 4.7.2 and writes TargetAssemblies/QualityBuilder.dll.

2. If the build fails, report the compiler errors and stop — do not copy a stale DLL.

3. On success, copy the built DLL into the 1.6 load folder:

   cp TargetAssemblies/QualityBuilder.dll Versions/v1.6/Assemblies/QualityBuilder.dll
   

   (LoadFolders.xml maps RimWorld 1.6 to Versions/v1.6.)

4. Confirm the copy succeeded and report the deployed path.

Notes:

• The .csproj references RimWorld/Harmony DLLs by absolute path in the local Steam install; if the build can't find them, the install moved — report that rather than guessing.
• To deploy to a different supported version, copy into the matching Versions/v1.x/Assemblies/ folder instead (see LoadFolders.xml).
• Never copy 0Harmony.dll into the mod — Harmony is supplied by the official Harmony mod (brrainz.harmony, declared in About.xml) at runtime.
