Releases
Current public release: CLI binaries.
DraftPilot's public release is the standalone CLI for macOS, Linux, and Windows. Desktop app packaging is in preview and will get a separate update feed once published.
CLI updates
The CLI reads the release manifest, verifies SHA-256 before replacing itself, and prints detailed release notes when the manifest provides them.

draftpilot updateflow through the public manifest URL. - Website download pages now point at working Cloudflare release assets instead of stale GitHub release URLs.

main.tex. - Improved CLI packaging for local machines, Linux VMs, and SSH-oriented workflows.

- Added scientific-poster generation workflows with a stronger landscape poster template and section-selection controls.
