## NPM Publishing Instructions
### Prerequisites ✅
- v1.2.0 tag created and pushed

- Branch protection enabled and working
### Publishing Steps
1. **Update local main branch**:
```bash
git checkout main
git pull
```
2. **Verify version and build**:
```bash
npm run build
cat package.json | grep version
# Should show: "version": "1.2.0"
```
3. **Test package locally**:
```bash
npm pack
# Creates dollhousemcp-1.2.0.tgz (279.3 kB)
```
4. **Publish to npm**:
```bash
npm publish
```
5. **Verify publication**:
```bash
npm view dollhousemcp
```
### Post-Publishing Tasks
1. **Close related issues**:
- Close #125 (Git tags in CI) ✅
- Close #126 (Windows paths) ✅
- Close #72 (Rate limiting) ✅
- Close #73 (Signature verification) ✅
2. **Update project board**:

- Update v1.2.0 milestone
3. **Announce release**:
- Update GitHub release notes if needed
- Post in relevant channels
## Technical Details
### SignatureVerifier Issue
The new `isProduction` logic in UpdateChecker makes it require signed releases in CI:
```typescript
const isProduction = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ||
process.env.CI === 'true' || // This triggers in CI!
!process.env.ALLOW_UNSIGNED_RELEASES;
```
This causes signature verification to be required, but CI doesn't have git tags.
### Windows Path Issue
The test expects Unix-style absolute paths but Windows provides:
`D:\a\DollhouseMCP\DollhouseMCP/test-personas` (mixed separators)
## Important Files Modified in v1.2.0
1. **New Files**:
- `src/update/RateLimiter.ts`
- `src/update/SignatureVerifier.ts`
- `__tests__/ci-environment.test.ts`
- `__tests__/ci-safety-verification.test.ts`
- `__tests__/workflow-validation.test.ts`
- Multiple new test files
2. **Modified Files**:
- `src/update/UpdateChecker.ts` - Added rate limiting and signature verification
- `src/update/UpdateManager.ts` - Added rate limit status display
- `package.json` - Version 1.2.0
- `CHANGELOG.md` - Added v1.2.0 entry
