+# CommiTea (desktop)
+
+An AI project manager for Gitea, as an Electron desktop app. The token stays in
+the main process (OS keychain via `safeStorage`); the renderer never sees it.
+
+## Develop
+
+```bash
+yarn dev          # electron-vite dev, HMR renderer + main (logs → desktop.log)
+yarn typecheck
+yarn e2e          # builds, then Playwright against the built main (fixtures/demo)
+```
+
+For a live pass against a real Gitea, put a token in `.env.local`
+(`GITEA_TOKEN=…`) and run `GITEA_LIVE=1 yarn e2e live-onboarding`.
+
+## Package (shareable macOS .dmg)
+
+```bash
+yarn pack         # unpacked .app for the host arch (fast sanity check) → dist/
+yarn dist         # arm64 + x64 .dmg → dist/CommiTea-<version>[-arm64].dmg
+```
+
+Config is `electron-builder.yml`. Builds are **unsigned** (no Apple certs, by
+decision) — electron-builder ad-hoc signs so the app can run, but it is not
+notarized. Bump `version` in `package.json` for a new release; keep
+`electronVersion` in `electron-builder.yml` in sync with the `electron`
+devDependency.
+
+### Installing a shared build (teammates)
+
+macOS Gatekeeper blocks unsigned apps on first launch. To open:
+
+1. Open the `.dmg` and drag **CommiTea** to **Applications**.
+2. In Applications, **right-click CommiTea → Open**, then confirm **Open** in the
+   dialog. (Double-clicking the first time just shows "cannot be opened".)
+3. It opens to the connection screen — enter your Gitea base URL, `owner/repo`,
+   and a personal access token (repo scope). Each teammate uses their own token,
+   so activity is attributed correctly. A model URL is optional; chat is disabled
+   until one is configured, everything else works without it.
+
+Grab the `-arm64` dmg on Apple Silicon, the plain one on Intel.
