 ## Releases
 
-Push a version tag to trigger a Windows installer build:
+Download the Windows installer from **[GitHub Releases](https://github.com/codedevdev/sc-helper/releases)** — look for `SC Helper_*_x64-setup.exe`.
+
+> The **Tags** page only has source code archives (zip/tar.gz). The `.exe` installer is attached to **Releases**, not Tags.
+
+Push a version tag to build a new installer:
 
 ```powershell
 git tag v0.1.0
 git push origin v0.1.0
 ```
 
-GitHub Actions creates a draft release with the NSIS `.exe` installer. Publish the draft when ready.
+GitHub Actions builds the NSIS installer and publishes it to Releases automatically (~10–15 min). To re-run without a new tag: **Actions → Release → Run workflow**.
+
+See [docs/deployment.md](docs/deployment.md) for permissions, verification, and troubleshooting.

+# SC Helper — Deployment & Releases
+
+## Download locations
+
+| Source | URL | Notes |
+|--------|-----|-------|
+| **GitHub Releases** | https://github.com/codedevdev/sc-helper/releases | Primary — `SC Helper_*_x64-setup.exe` |
+| **Tags page** | https://github.com/codedevdev/sc-helper/tags | Source zip/tar.gz only — **not** the installer |
+| **Actions artifacts** | Actions → Release workflow → Artifacts | Backup if release upload fails |
+
+## Release triggers
+
+1. **Version tag** — push `v*` (e.g. `v0.1.0`) → [`.github/workflows/release.yml`](../.github/workflows/release.yml)
+2. **Manual dispatch** — Actions → Release → Run workflow → enter existing tag name
+
+## Repo permissions (required once)
+
+**Settings → Actions → General → Workflow permissions** → **Read and write permissions**.
+
+Without this, `GITHUB_TOKEN` cannot create GitHub Releases or upload `.exe` assets. The workflow YAML sets `permissions: contents: write`, but the repository default must also allow writes.
+
+## Shipping a new version
+
+1. Bump version in [`src-tauri/tauri.conf.json`](../src-tauri/tauri.conf.json) and [`package.json`](../package.json)
+2. Commit and push to `main`
+3. Tag and push:
+
+```powershell
+git tag v0.1.1
+git push origin v0.1.1
+```
+
+4. Wait for the **Release** workflow (Windows, ~10–15 min)
+5. Verify on [Releases](https://github.com/codedevdev/sc-helper/releases):
+   - Asset: `SC Helper_<version>_x64-setup.exe`
+6. Optional: check Actions → Artifacts for `windows-latest-nsis` backup
+
+## Re-run a failed release
+
+**Option A — re-tag** (same version):
+
+```powershell
+git push origin :refs/tags/v0.1.0
+git tag -d v0.1.0
+git tag v0.1.0
+git push origin v0.1.0
+```
+
+**Option B — workflow dispatch** (tag must already exist on GitHub):
+
+Actions → Release → Run workflow → tag: `v0.1.0`
+
+## CI (non-release)
+
+Push/PR to `main` runs [`.github/workflows/ci.yml`](../.github/workflows/ci.yml): `npm ci`, `npm test`, `npm run build` on Ubuntu. No Tauri/MSVC required.
+
+## Local desktop build (optional)
+
+Requires MSVC Build Tools. See [README](../README.md#desktop-tauri--optional).
