## Appcast entry
Use the release note generator so Sparkle renders formatted HTML notes:
```bash
-SPARKLE_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE=/path/to/ed25519-private-key scripts/make_appcast.sh dist/Moltbot-2026.1.27-beta.1.zip https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moltbot/moltbot/main/appcast.xml

```
Generates HTML release notes from `CHANGELOG.md` (via [`scripts/changelog-to-html.sh`](https://github.com/moltbot/moltbot/blob/main/scripts/changelog-to-html.sh)) and embeds them in the appcast entry.
Commit the updated `appcast.xml` alongside the release assets (zip + dSYM) when publishing.
## Publish & verify
-- Upload `Moltbot-2026.1.27-beta.1.zip` (and `Moltbot-2026.1.27-beta.1.dSYM.zip`) to the GitHub release for tag `v2026.1.27-beta.1`.
+- Upload `Moltbot-2026.1.29.zip` (and `Moltbot-2026.1.29.dSYM.zip`) to the GitHub release for tag `v2026.1.29`.
- Ensure the raw appcast URL matches the baked feed: `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moltbot/moltbot/main/appcast.xml`.
- Sanity checks:
- `curl -I https://raw.githubusercontent.com/moltbot/moltbot/main/appcast.xml` returns 200.
