+# Build and publish a release on the Forgejo source-of-truth instance
+# with the PostIt Android APK as an attached asset.
+#
+# Triggered by a push of a git tag. Validates the tag/changelog pair,
+# builds the APK using the existing Dockerfile (--target build-env), then
+# publishes a Forgejo release via the Forgejo REST API and uploads the
+# APK as an asset.
+#
+# Authentication uses ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} (auto-provided by the
+# Forgejo runner, scoped to contents: write for the current repo). A
+# dedicated PAT (${{ secrets.RELEASE_TOKEN }}) was the preferred option
+# for least-privilege, but creating repo-level secrets is currently
+# broken on this Forgejo instance (InsertEncryptedSecret fails with a
+# UTF-8 byte-sequence error, probably a text-vs-bytea column type on
+# the secret table). Bumping to Forgejo v16 should fix it; until then,
+# the runner-provided token keeps the workflow operational.
+#
+# Why bash + jq + curl, no third-party actions: the runner's docker
+# label points at pazof/yavsc-build-env, a Debian image with jq but
+# without Node.js or python3. Any action like actions/checkout,
+# rasterstate/forgejo-release-action, etc. fails with "executable
+# file not found in $PATH". jq is shipped in the image from
+# debian12-dotnet10-android36-v2 onward; earlier tags fell back to
+# hand-rolled JSON building via sed, which was fragile (cf. PR #30:
+# sed greedy + head -3 still matched author.id instead of the
+# release id on the minified JSON this instance returns, PATCH
+# /releases/1 → 404). Same constraint as
+# .forgejo/workflows/buildAndTest.yml.
+#
+# This workflow complements .github/workflows/docker-publish-android.yml
+# which targets the GitHub mirror; the validate-release logic mirrors
+# the GitHub-side job so the two channels stay consistent.

 ### Removed
 
+## [1.0.6] - stable
+
+### Added
+- Self-hosted Forgejo Actions runner now drives the CI build for the
+  yavsc repository, using the
+  `pazof/yavsc-build-env:debian12-dotnet10-android36-v2` image pulled
+  from Docker Hub. Workflow runs end-to-end: clone, restore, build,
+  test, with NuGet.config picking up the `isn.pschneider.fr` feed.
+- The build-env image now ships `jq` (Debian package, ≥ 1.7), so the
+  release workflow can build JSON bodies and parse API responses
+  without a hand-rolled `sed`-based extractor that was matching the
+  wrong `id` field on minified responses.
+
+### Changed
+- CI workflow `.forgejo/workflows/buildAndTest.yml` no longer relies on
+  `actions/checkout` (the runner image has no Node); clones yavsc via
+  `git`, fetches the ref under test, and initializes submodules over
+  HTTPS.
+
+### Fixed
+- `Dockerfile` and `Dockerfile.backend` no longer carry a redundant
+  `dotnet nuget add source` step that conflicted with the GitHub
+  Actions APK build (`--allow-insecure-connections` on an HTTPS
+  endpoint, exit 1). `NuGet.config` at the repo root supplies the
+  `isn.pschneider.fr` feed for every restore, including inside Docker.
+- `.forgejo/workflows/release.yml`: PATCH on `/releases/{id}` no longer
+  404s on existing releases. The previous `sed`-based `json_field`
+  matched the last `id` on the line (the author's), so it tried to
+  PATCH `/releases/1` (the first user of the instance) instead of the
+  actual release id. Switched to `jq` for both body construction and
+  field extraction.

+  The yavsc solution depends on HigginsSoft.IdentityServer8.* 8.1.0-alpha.*,
+  published only on the internal feed https://isn.pschneider.fr. The public
+  nuget.org feed has 8.0.4 as the nearest version, which causes NU1102 on
+  restore for every project that depends on it (Yavsc.Org, Yavsc.Api,
+  Yavsc.Blogs, Yavsc.Server, cli, tests).
+
+  Listing 'isn' before 'nuget.org' here ensures that restore finds the
+  alpha packages first, then falls back to nuget.org for everything else.
+  Both feeds are reachable anonymously; no credentials are stored here.
+
+  See AGENTS.md for the rationale.
