Release from Windows or Mac

- MSCO.csproj is SDK-style now (net35 via Microsoft.NETFramework.ReferenceAssemblies):
  builds with "dotnet build -c Release" on Windows and macOS; game DLL folder via
  MSC_MANAGED / -p:MscManaged (default: the game folder). Output verified identical
  in structure (references, types, methods, resources) to the old project.
- release.ps1 works with Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7: secrets in DPAPI files
  on Windows, in the macOS keychain on a Mac (file with chmod 600 on Linux); cross-platform
  RSA/password input; release target calls pwsh on non-Windows

+# Updates veröffentlichen (Mod & Launcher)
+
+Neue Versionen der Mod und des Launchers landen beim Bauen automatisch auf dem Keymaster (`release.ps1`). Jede Datei
+wird dabei mit dem privaten Release-Schlüssel **signiert** – der Launcher und das Setup installieren nur signierte
+Dateien. Dafür braucht der Rechner, auf dem gebaut wird, zwei Geheimnisse:
+
+| | Windows | macOS |
+|---|---|---|
+| Release-Token (Keymaster `RELEASE_TOKEN`) | `%USERPROFILE%\.msco\release-token.dpapi` (DPAPI) | Schlüsselbund: *MSCO release-token* |
+| Signier-Schlüssel (RSA-3072) | `%USERPROFILE%\.msco\release-signing-key.dpapi` (DPAPI) | Schlüsselbund: *MSCO release-signing-key* |
+
+Sicherung des Schlüssels: `\\mbmnas\mrmaho\MSCOModBackupData\msco-signing-key-backup.txt` (AES-256, eigenes
+Passwort – das Passwort **nicht** auf dem NAS speichern).
+
+## Ablauf
+
+1. Version erhöhen: Mod in `MSCO.cs` (`ModVersion`), Launcher in `MSCO.Launcher.csproj` (`<Version>`) – und den
+   Abschnitt `## <Version>` in der jeweiligen `CHANGELOG.md` (wird zum Changelog auf der Website/im Launcher).
+2. Bauen:
+   - Mod: im Ordner `MSCO` → `dotnet build -c Release`
+   - Launcher: im Ordner `MSCO.Launcher` → `dotnet publish -c Release`
+3. Die Ausgabe zeigt `MSCO release: mod 2.x.y uploaded to https://msco.mbm.wtf`. Gibt es die Version schon, passiert
+   nichts. `MSCO_NO_RELEASE=1` (Umgebungsvariable) baut, ohne hochzuladen.
+4. Code committen und pushen.
+
+## Einrichten auf Windows
+
+Läuft schon (Token und Schlüssel liegen in `%USERPROFILE%\.msco`). Neuer PC:
+
+```powershell
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File MSCO\release.ps1 -SaveToken
+powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File MSCO\release.ps1 -ImportSigningKey \\mbmnas\mrmaho\MSCOModBackupData\msco-signing-key-backup.txt
+```
+
+> In einem PowerShell-Fenster **ohne** „Als Administrator ausführen“ – sonst sind Netzlaufwerke wie `Z:` nicht da
+> (der Pfad `\\mbmnas\mrmaho\…` geht in beiden).
+
+## Einrichten auf dem Mac (nur bauen/veröffentlichen – das Spiel gibt es nur für Windows)
+
+1. Werkzeuge: [.NET 10 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download) und PowerShell 7:
+   ```bash
+   brew install --cask dotnet-sdk powershell
+   ```
+2. Repositories klonen (`MSCO`, `MSCO-Launcher` von git.mbm.wtf).
+3. NAS verbinden (Finder → *Gehe zu* → *Mit Server verbinden* → `smb://mbmnas/mrmaho`) – erscheint unter
+   `/Volumes/mrmaho`.
+4. Spiel-DLLs zum Kompilieren der Mod (UnityEngine, Assembly-CSharp, PlayMaker, cInput) liegen unter
+   `MSCOModBackupData/Managed` auf dem NAS. Am besten einmal lokal kopieren und den Ordner merken:
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p ~/MSC-Managed && cp /Volumes/mrmaho/MSCOModBackupData/Managed/*.dll ~/MSC-Managed/
+   echo 'export MSC_MANAGED="$HOME/MSC-Managed"' >> ~/.zshrc && source ~/.zshrc
+   ```
+5. Token und Schlüssel in den Schlüsselbund:
+   ```bash
+   pwsh MSCO/release.ps1 -SaveToken
+   pwsh MSCO/release.ps1 -ImportSigningKey /Volumes/mrmaho/MSCOModBackupData/msco-signing-key-backup.txt
+   ```
+6. Danach wie oben: `dotnet build -c Release` (Mod) bzw. `dotnet publish -c Release` (Launcher).
+
+Nach einem Spiel-Update (neue `Assembly-CSharp.dll` usw.) die DLLs auf dem NAS bzw. in `~/MSC-Managed` erneuern.
+
+## Neuer Schlüssel?
+
+Nur im Notfall (Schlüssel verloren): `release.ps1 -NewSigningKey` erzeugt ein neues Paar – dann muss der neue
+öffentliche Schlüssel in `MSCO.Launcher/Services/ReleaseSignature.cs` und `MSCO.Launcher/Setup/Install.cs`, und
+Spieler mit einem älteren Launcher müssen ihn einmal neu installieren (ihr Launcher lehnt die neuen Signaturen ab).
