 Then just run it — the first launch sets itself up:

 # Releasing podcli
 
 Distribution is fully automated by `.github/workflows/release.yml`: pushing a
-`v*` tag builds the launcher for all five platforms, builds whisper.cpp, bundles
-the studio and Remotion, generates `checksums.txt`, publishes a GitHub release,
-and publishes the npm package. End users then install with no prerequisites:

-## One-time setup
-
-- Set the **`NPM_TOKEN`** repository secret (an npm automation token with publish
-  rights). Without it the GitHub release still publishes; the npm job fails and
-  can be re-run after the secret is added.
+Platforms: macOS arm64, Linux x64/arm64, Windows x64. (npm isn't used — the
+unscoped name `podcli` is blocked by npm as too similar to `pod-cli`.)
 
 ## Cutting a release
 
-1. Pick the version `X.Y.Z`. Set it in **`npm/package.json`** (`install.js` fetches
-   the binary from `releases/download/vX.Y.Z/`, so the npm version must equal the
-   tag). Optionally align the root `package.json`.
+1. Pick the version `X.Y.Z` and tag with it. The installers resolve the latest
+   release automatically.
 2. Merge to `main` and make sure CI is green.
 3. Tag and push:
    ```bash
    git tag vX.Y.Z
    git push origin vX.Y.Z
    ```
-4. Watch the `release` workflow. It produces these assets (the names the npm
-   wrapper, self-update, and provisioner expect):
+4. Watch the `release` workflow. It produces these assets (the names the
+   installers, self-update, and provisioner expect):
    - `podcli-{darwin,linux,windows}-{amd64,arm64}[.exe]` — static launchers
    - `whisper-cli-<os>-<arch>[.exe]`
    - `studio-bundle.tar.gz`
    - `remotion-<os>-<arch>.tar.gz`
    - `checksums.txt`
