The default branch still pointed to the October 29 release while the November 1 installer and source package were already public. Bring the qualified v0.1.6 fork source into the maintained branch and put the current downloads at the top of the README.

The release packager now preserves an existing release and skips duplicate builds. The agent-context check compares against the actual target branch, supporting this fork’s maintained branch name. New releases retain the default-branch ancestry and successful-CI requirements. A merge commit preserves the published tag's ancestry. Temporary build/upload branches can then be removed while their recovery copies remain local.

Validation: the published source at 8c3cd3e passed complete CI and exact-installer CLI/backend/PTY qualification; all six release assets have verified checksums. The cleanup's changed-file gate passed formatting, 39 package type checks and its cross-file test. Workflow checks confirmed existing-release skip, authorization failure rejection and unpublished-tag ancestry rejection. Native UI/provider acceptance, signing and SDK security coverage remain documented in the published validation report.

Prepared with GPT-6 in Codex. The published release scope and artifacts incorporate GPT-6 Astra's prior review.
