Release

kasane ships one codebase to five targets. The version lives in two files that drift silently: package.json (npm/tooling) and app.json (expo.version, the user-visible app version on iOS and Android). They are currently out of sync.

Preflight

git switch main && git pull
bun install
bun run system-check     # typecheck + oxfmt + oxlint + test + web build
bun run build:web && bun run e2e
bun run scripts/audit-mappings.ts --errors-only

The catalog audit belongs here even though mappings are not in the repo: a release is the moment users refetch, and a catalog error reaches them regardless of what the code does.

Bump the version in both places

Check first whether the version-bumper skill already did this. It bumps both files, commits, and tags locally without pushing, so a release often starts with the work below already done:

node -p "require('./package.json').version"
git tag --points-at HEAD          # prints v<version> if the bump is already tagged

If the tag is there and points at the version in package.json, skip to the push at the end of this section. Do not bump again — a second bump on top of an untagged-in-your-head-but-actually-tagged commit produces a version nobody released.

Otherwise:

VERSION=1.3.0
npm pkg set version=$VERSION
python3 - <<EOF
import json
p = "app.json"
d = json.load(open(p))
d["expo"]["version"] = "$VERSION"
json.dump(d, open(p, "w"), indent=2)
open(p, "a").write("\n")
EOF
git diff --stat package.json app.json    # both must appear

Native builds additionally need a monotonically increasing build number per submission (expo.ios.buildNumber, expo.android.versionCode). Bump those on every store upload even when the marketing version is unchanged.

Commit with the repo's KSN: convention, then tag:

git tag -a "v$VERSION" -m "v$VERSION"

Either way, the release starts at the push:

git push --follow-tags

Per-target

Target	Command	Notes
Web	bun run build:web	Netlify builds from netlify.toml on push. Verify the deploy, then check the MangaDex covers actually load — that path depends on the /_mdx proxy and the no-referrer policy, and it breaks silently.
Desktop	bun run desktop:build	Tauri 2 wraps dist/. Requires Rust and a src-tauri/ created by bunx tauri init (see README). Keep the Tauri version in src-tauri/tauri.conf.json in step with app.json.
iOS / Android	EAS Build	There is no eas.json in the repo despite the README claiming EAS ships both. Create one (bunx eas build:configure) before promising a native release, or correct the README.

Post-release

• Load the deployed site and confirm the catalog fetch succeeds; a Supabase RLS change can break reads without failing the build.
• Confirm a cold load renders from the persisted TanStack Query cache (the catalog is cached for 7 days).
• Confirm a deep link such as /series/5114 resolves, which exercises the SPA fallback.

Common mistakes

Mistake	Consequence
Bumping only package.json	Store listings and the about screen keep showing the old version. This has already happened.
Bumping again over a version-bumper tag	The tag names one version and the files another. Check git tag --points-at HEAD before bumping.
Reusing a native build number	The store rejects the upload.
Releasing without re-running the catalog audit	Code ships clean while the data users refetch is wrong.
Assuming a green web build means covers work	The MangaDex proxy and Referrer-Policy: no-referrer only matter in production. Look at the page.
Skipping hooks with --no-verify	system-check is the gate. Fix the failure.
