+# Build and Release Process
+
+This project uses GitHub Actions to automate the build and release process for the Tauri application.
+
+## Workflows
+
+### Release Workflow (`.github/workflows/release.yml`)
+
+Automatically triggered when a git tag starting with `v` is pushed (e.g., `v1.0.3`).
+
+#### What it does:
+1. **Multi-platform Build**: Builds the Tauri application for:
+   - macOS (Apple Silicon - aarch64)
+   - macOS (Intel - x86_64) 
+   - Linux (x86_64)
+   - Windows (x86_64)
+
+2. **Auto-Updater Support**: Generates `updater.json` file containing:
+   - Version information
+   - Release notes
+   - Download URLs for each platform
+   - Cryptographic signatures for security
+
+3. **Release Management**: 
+   - Creates a draft release
+   - Uploads all build artifacts
+   - Adds the updater.json file
+   - Publishes the release
+
+#### To create a new release:
+```bash
+git tag v1.0.3
+git push origin v1.0.3
+```
+
+### CI Workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yml`)
+
+Runs on every push to `main` and on pull requests to ensure code quality.
+
+#### What it does:
+1. **Frontend Testing**: 
+   - Lints the code
+   - Builds the frontend
+
+2. **Tauri Build Test**:
+   - Tests the Tauri build process (without bundling)
+   - Ensures all dependencies are correctly configured
+
+## Auto-Updater Configuration
+
+The application is configured with Tauri's auto-updater plugin:
+
+- **Endpoint**: `https://github.com/syntaxfm/production-assistant/releases/latest/download/updater.json`
+- **Dialog**: Enabled (shows update prompts to users)
+- **Signature Verification**: Automatic (handled by tauri-action)
+
+## Dependencies
+
+The workflows automatically handle:
+- Node.js and pnpm setup
+- Rust toolchain installation
+- Platform-specific system dependencies
+- Tauri CLI tools
+
+## Security
+
+- All releases are signed using Tauri's built-in signing process
+- Signatures are verified during the update process
+- Only releases created through the GitHub workflow are trusted
