-The pipeline references crates that don't exist yet; the first release run fails until they do:
+The `apps/gridcraft` and `apps/gridcraft-web` crates are workspace members, and
+`apps/gridcraft-cli` supports `--version`. The `cargo xtask` alias is defined in
+`.cargo/config.toml`. The current app-specific release setup includes:
 
-- **`apps/gridcraft`** (the GUI binary `gridcraft`) and **`apps/gridcraft-web`** (trunk
-  site) must be workspace members. `apps/gridcraft-cli` exists and supports `--version`.
-- **Windows resources:** move `packaging/windows/app-build.rs.in` to `apps/gridcraft/build.rs`
-  and add `winresource = "0.1"` under `[build-dependencies]` (instructions at the top of the
-  file). `package.ps1` sets `GRIDCRAFT_REQUIRE_WINRES=1`, so a release build without the icon
-  fails, and it checks that `gridcraft.exe` is a GUI-subsystem binary, so `main.rs` needs
-  `#![cfg_attr(all(target_os = "windows", not(debug_assertions)), windows_subsystem = "windows")]`.
-- **Build info:** CI exports `GRIDCRAFT_BUILD_SHA` and `GRIDCRAFT_BUILD_DATE`; read them
-  with `option_env!` (fallback: "dev build") for `--version` and *Help › About GridCraft*.
-- **Runtime icon:** embed `assets/app-icon/gridcraft-macos-512.png` (macOS Dock) and
+- **Windows resources:** `apps/gridcraft/build.rs` embeds the icon and version information with
+  `winresource` (instructions at the top of the file). `package.ps1` sets
+  `GRIDCRAFT_REQUIRE_WINRES=1`, so a release build without the icon fails, and it checks that
+  `gridcraft.exe` is a GUI-subsystem binary. `apps/gridcraft/src/main.rs` sets
+  `windows_subsystem = "windows"` for release builds.
+- **Version information:** `gridcraft --version`, `gridcraft-cli --version` and the About dialog
+  use `env!("CARGO_PKG_VERSION")` from `[workspace.package]`. `packaging/env.sh` also exports
+  `GRIDCRAFT_BUILD_SHA` and `GRIDCRAFT_BUILD_DATE` for artifact metadata.
+- **Runtime icon:** `apps/gridcraft/src/main.rs` embeds
+  `assets/app-icon/gridcraft-macos-512.png` (macOS Dock) and
   `hicolor/256x256/apps/ai.storyteller.gridcraft.png` (Windows/Linux) as the window icon, and
-  use `ai.storyteller.gridcraft` as the Wayland app id / `StartupWMClass`.
-- **`cargo xtask` alias:** the docs use `cargo xtask …`, which needs
-  `.cargo/config.toml` with `[alias] xtask = "run --package xtask --"`. Until it exists, use
-  `cargo run -p xtask -- …`. The workflows already call `cargo run -p xtask` directly.
