+For local observability, `bun run dev:otel` starts the Aspire Dashboard UI at `http://localhost:18888`
+and configures the sidecar to export OpenTelemetry traces to `http://localhost:4317` over OTLP/gRPC.
+This dev workflow requires Docker.

 Tagged releases use GitHub Actions to build and publish Windows (NSIS), macOS (DMG, signed + notarized), and Linux (AppImage) artifacts. The app uses `electron-updater` for in-app updates.
 The release helper expects a clean git worktree, an upstream branch configured for the current branch, and permission to push commits and tags.
