-## 🎓 Key Design Decisions
-
-### 1. PySide6 (vs PyQt5, Tkinter, PySimpleGUI)
-✅ Modern, LGPL licensed, excellent macOS support
-
-### 2. PyInstaller (vs Briefcase, Nuitka, py2exe)
-✅ Mature, stable, excellent one-file executable
-
-### 3. pytest (vs unittest, nose2)
-✅ Modern, expressive, great CI/CD integration
-
-### 4. GitHub Actions (vs Jenkins, GitLab CI, Travis)
-✅ Free, integrated, simple workflow
-
-### 5. Whitelist Validation (vs Blacklist)
-✅ Secure by default, explicit permissions
-
----
-
-## 🔐 Security Notes

+    └── webdrop-bridge.rb       # Homebrew formula
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Chocolatey Package (Windows)
+
+1. **Build MSI installer**:
+   ```bash
+   python build/scripts/build_windows.py --msi
+   ```
+
+2. **Get SHA256 checksum**:
+   ```powershell
+   certutil -hashfile build/dist/windows/WebDropBridge_Setup.msi SHA256
+   ```
+
+3. **Update package files**:
+   - `build/chocolatey/webdrop-bridge.nuspec` - update `<version>`
+   - `build/chocolatey/tools/chocolateyInstall.ps1` - update `$Version` and `$Checksum`
+
+4. **Package it** (requires Chocolatey CLI):
+   ```powershell
+   cd build/chocolatey
+   choco pack webdrop-bridge.nuspec
+   ```
+
+5. **Publish** (requires Chocolatey API key):
+   ```powershell
+   choco push webdrop-bridge.0.8.0.nupkg --api-key YOUR_KEY
+   ```
+
+### Homebrew Formula (macOS)
+
+1. **Build DMG installer**:
+   ```bash
+   bash build/scripts/build_macos.sh
+   ```
+
+2. **Get SHA256 checksum**:
+   ```bash
+   shasum -a 256 build/dist/macos/WebDropBridge_Setup.dmg
+   ```
+
+3. **Update formula**:
+   - `build/homebrew/webdrop-bridge.rb` - update `version` and `sha256`
+
+4. **Test locally**:
+   ```bash
+   brew audit --formula build/homebrew/webdrop-bridge.rb
+   brew install build/homebrew/webdrop-bridge.rb
+   ```
+
+5. **Publish** (create Forgejo tap or submit to official Homebrew):
+   - Option A: Create `homebrew-webdrop-bridge` tap on Forgejo
+   - Option B: Submit to `homebrew/casks` on GitHub
+
+## Publishing Strategy
+
+### Recommended Approach for HIM
+
+1. **Chocolatey**:
+   - Host in internal Artifactory/Azure Artifacts NuGet repository
+   - OR submit to Chocolatey community (chocolatey.org)
+   - Users: `choco install webdrop-bridge`
+
+2. **Homebrew**:
+   - Create custom tap: `HIM-public/homebrew-webdrop-bridge` on Forgejo
+   - Users add tap: `brew tap HIM-public/webdrop-bridge https://git.him-tools.de/...`
+   - Users: `brew install webdrop-bridge`
+
+3. **Fallback**:
+   - Direct wget/downloads from Forgejo releases
+   - Built-in auto-update system in app
+
+## Release Checklist
+
+When releasing version X.Y.Z:
+
+- [ ] Build Windows MSI: `python build/scripts/build_windows.py --msi`
+- [ ] Build macOS DMG: `bash build/scripts/build_macos.sh`
+- [ ] Calculate checksums (certutil / shasum)
+- [ ] Create Forgejo release with installers
+- [ ] Update `build/chocolatey/webdrop-bridge.nuspec` version
+- [ ] Update `build/chocolatey/tools/chocolateyInstall.ps1` version & checksum
+- [ ] Update `build/homebrew/webdrop-bridge.rb` version & checksum
+- [ ] Test Chocolatey package locally
+- [ ] Test Homebrew formula locally
+- [ ] Publish to package managers
+
+## User Installation Commands
+
+After publishing:
+
+```powershell
+# Windows
+choco install webdrop-bridge
+```
+
+```bash
+# macOS
+brew tap HIM-public/webdrop-bridge https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/homebrew-webdrop-bridge.git
+brew install webdrop-bridge
+```

+
+## Download Scripts
+
+### Purpose
+
+The `download_release.ps1` (Windows) and `download_release.sh` (macOS/Linux) scripts download pre-built WebDrop Bridge installers from the Forgejo repository using **wget**. This is the recommended way to:
+
+- **Initial Installation**: First-time users can bootstrap without building from source
+- **Enterprise Deployments**: Automated setup scripts in larger organizations  
+- **Offline/Air-Gapped Systems**: Download on one machine, transfer to another
+- **Proxy Environments**: Works with corporate proxies (via wget)
+- **CI/CD Automation**: Internal deployment pipelines
+- **Command-Line Preference**: Admins who prefer CLI tools over GUIs
+
+### Features
+
+✅ **Automatic platform detection** - Prefers .dmg on macOS, .msi on Windows
+✅ **SHA256 checksum verification** - Ensures integrity of downloaded files
+✅ **Progress indication** - Shows download progress with wget
+✅ **Error handling** - Clear error messages for common issues
+✅ **Version selection** - Download specific releases or latest
+✅ **Offline-friendly** - Works in environments with limited connectivity
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- **wget** (required)
+  - Windows: `choco install wget` or `winget install GNU.Wget`
+  - macOS: `brew install wget`
+  - Linux: `apt-get install wget` (Ubuntu/Debian) or equivalent
+
+### Direct wget Commands (No Script Needed)
+
+**Simplest: If you know the version**
+
+```bash
+# Download directly by version tag
+wget https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/releases/download/v0.8.0/WebDropBridge_Setup.msi
+wget https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/releases/download/v0.8.0/WebDropBridge_Setup.dmg
+```
+
+**If you need to auto-detect latest (with grep/cut, no jq needed)**
+
+```bash
+# Get latest release and download MSI/DMG
+wget -qO- https://git.him-tools.de/api/v1/repos/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/releases/latest | \
+  grep -o '"browser_download_url":"[^"]*\.\(msi\|dmg\)"' | head -1 | cut -d'"' -f4 | \
+  xargs wget -O installer.msi
+```
+
+**With checksum verification**
+
+```bash
+# Download installer and checksum
+INSTALLER=$(wget -qO- https://git.him-tools.de/api/v1/repos/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/releases/latest | \
+  grep -o '"browser_download_url":"[^"]*\.\(msi\|dmg\)"' | head -1 | cut -d'"' -f4)
+
+wget -O installer.msi "$INSTALLER"
+wget -O installer.sha256 "${INSTALLER}.sha256"
+
+# Verify (macOS: shasum -a 256 -c installer.sha256)
+sha256sum -c installer.sha256
+```
+
+### Script-Based Usage (Recommended for Automation)
+
+#### Windows PowerShell
+
+```powershell
+# Latest release to current directory
+.\download_release.ps1
+
+# Specific version to Downloads folder
+.\download_release.ps1 -Version "0.8.0" -OutputDir "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads"
+
+# Skip checksum verification
+.\download_release.ps1 -Verify $false
+```
+
+#### macOS / Linux Bash
+
+```bash
+# Latest release
+./build/scripts/download_release.sh
+
+# Specific version to Downloads
+./build/scripts/download_release.sh 0.8.0 ~/Downloads
+
+# Skip checksum verification
+./build/scripts/download_release.sh latest --no-verify
+```
+
+## Build Scripts
+
+### build_windows.py
+Builds Windows MSI installer using PyInstaller and WIX toolset.
+
+```bash
+python build/scripts/build_windows.py --msi
+```
+
+### build_macos.sh
+Builds macOS DMG installer with code signing and notarization.
+
+```bash
+bash build/scripts/build_macos.sh
+```
+
+## Release Scripts
+
+### create_release.ps1 / create_release.sh
+Automated release creation with versioning and asset uploads.
+
+```bash
+# Windows
+.\build\scripts\create_release.ps1
+
+# macOS/Linux
+./build/scripts/create_release.sh
+```
+
+## Version Management
+
+### sync_version.py
+Manages consistent versioning across the project.
+
+```bash
+python build/scripts/sync_version.py --version 0.8.0
+```
+
+## Integration Flow
+
+```
+download_release.ps1/sh
+    ↓
+Fetches release from Forgejo API
+    ↓
+Downloads installer (.msi or .dmg)
+    ↓
+Verifies SHA256 checksum
+    ↓
+Installer ready for execution
+    ↓
+(Application auto-update handles future updates)
+```
+
+## Testing Scripts Locally
+
+```bash
+# Test download script (dry-run)
+.\build\scripts\download_release.ps1 -Version "0.7.1"
+
+# Test with different output directory
+.\build\scripts\download_release.ps1 -OutputDir ".\test_download"
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### wget not found
+- **Windows**: Install via `winget install GNU.Wget` or Chocolatey
+- **macOS**: `brew install wget`
+- **Linux**: `apt-get install wget` (or equivalent)
+
+### Checksum verification failed
+- File may be corrupted in transit
+- Retry download: `.\download_release.ps1 -Verify $false` then manually verify
+- Report issue with download URL and Forgejo release info
+
+### Network timeouts
+- Check connectivity to `https://git.him-tools.de`
+- May indicate temporary Forgejo API unavailability
+- Retry after a few minutes
+
+### Permission denied (macOS/Linux)
+```bash
+chmod +x build/scripts/download_release.sh
+chmod +x build/scripts/build_macos.sh
+```

+.SYNOPSIS
+    Download WebDrop Bridge release installer from Forgejo via wget.
+
+.DESCRIPTION
+    Fetches the latest (or specified) WebDrop Bridge release from the Forgejo repository
+    and downloads the appropriate installer (MSI for Windows, DMG for macOS) using wget.
+    
+    This script is useful for:
+    - Enterprise deployments with proxy requirements
+    - Automated deployment scripts
+    - Initial setup before the built-in update mechanism kicks in
+    - Admins preferring command-line tools for infrastructure automation
+
+.PARAMETER Version
+    Semantic version to download (e.g., "0.8.0"). 
+    If not specified, downloads the latest release.
+    Default: "latest"
+
+.PARAMETER OutputDir
+    Directory to save the downloaded installer.
+    Default: Current directory
+
+.PARAMETER Verify
+    If $true, verify checksum against .sha256 file from release.
+    Default: $true
+
+.EXAMPLE
+    # Download latest release to current directory
+    .\download_release.ps1
+

-# Angular CDK Drag & Drop Analysis - GlobalDAM
-
-## Framework Detection
-
-**Web Application:** Agravity GlobalDAM  
-**Framework:** Angular 19.2.14  
-**Drag & Drop:** Angular CDK (Component Dev Kit)  
-**Styling:** TailwindCSS
-
-## Technical Findings
-
-### 1. Angular CDK Implementation
-
-```html
-<!-- Drag Group (oberste Ebene) -->
-<div cdkdroplistgroup="" aydnd="" class="flex h-full flex-col">
-  
-  <!-- Drop Zone (Collections) -->
-  <div cdkdroplist="" class="cdk-drop-list" id="collectioncsuaaDVNokl0...">
-    
-    <!-- Draggable Element (Asset Card) -->
-    <li cdkdrag="" class="cdk-drag asset-list-item" draggable="false">
-      <img src="./GlobalDAM JRI_files/anPGZszKzgKaSz1SIx2HFgduy" 
-           alt="weiss_ORIGINAL">
-    </li>
-  </div>
-</div>
-```
-
-### 2. Key Observations
-
-#### Native HTML5 Drag ist DEAKTIVIERT
-```html
-draggable="false"
-```
-
-**Bedeutung:**
-- Kein Zugriff auf native `dragstart`, `drag`, `dragend` Events
-- Kein `event.dataTransfer` API verfügbar
-- Angular CDK simuliert Drag & Drop komplett in JavaScript
-- Daten werden NICHT über natives Clipboard/DataTransfer übertragen
-
-#### Angular CDK Direktiven
-- `cdkdroplistgroup` - Gruppiert mehrere Drop-Zonen
-- `cdkdroplist` - Markiert Drop-Bereiche (Collections, Clipboard)
-- `cdkdrag` - Markiert draggbare Elemente (Assets)
-- `cdkdroplistsortingdisabled` - Sortierung deaktiviert
-
-#### Asset Identifikation
-```html
-<!-- Asset ID im Element-ID -->
-<div id="anPGZszKzgKaSz1SIx2HFgduy">
-
-<!-- Asset ID in der Bild-URL -->
-<img src="./GlobalDAM JRI_files/anPGZszKzgKaSz1SIx2HFgduy">
-
-<!-- Asset Name im alt-Attribut -->
-<img alt="weiss_ORIGINAL">
-```
-
-## Impact on WebDrop Bridge
-
-### ❌ Bisheriger Ansatz funktioniert NICHT
-
-Unser aktueller Ansatz basiert auf:
-1. Interception von nativen Drag-Events
-2. Manipulation von `event.dataTransfer.effectAllowed` und `.dropEffect`
-3. Setzen von URLs im DataTransfer
-
-**Das funktioniert NICHT mit Angular CDK**, da:
-- Angular CDK das native Drag & Drop komplett umgeht
-- Keine nativen Events gefeuert werden
-- DataTransfer API nicht verwendet wird
-
-### ✅ Mögliche Lösungsansätze
-
-#### Ansatz 1: JavaScript Injection zur Laufzeit
-Injiziere JavaScript-Code, der Angular CDK Events abfängt:
-
-```javascript
-// Überwache Angular CDK Event-Handler
-document.addEventListener('cdkDragStarted', (event) => {
-  const assetId = event.source.element.nativeElement.id;
-  const assetName = event.source.element.nativeElement.querySelector('img')?.alt;
-  
-  // Sende an Qt WebChannel
-  bridge.handleDragStart(assetId, assetName);
-});
-
-document.addEventListener('cdkDragDropped', (event) => {
-  // Verhindere das Standard-Verhalten
-  event.preventDefault();
-  
-  // Starte nativen Drag von Qt aus
-  bridge.initNativeDrag();
-});
-```
-
-**Vorteile:**
-- ✅ Direkter Zugriff auf Angular CDK Events
-- ✅ Kann Asset-Informationen extrahieren
-- ✅ Kann Drag-Operationen abfangen
-
-**Nachteile:**
-- ⚠️ Erfordert genaue Kenntnis der Angular CDK Internals
-- ⚠️ Könnte bei Angular CDK Updates brechen
-- ⚠️ Komplexer zu implementieren
-
-#### Ansatz 2: DOM Mutation Observer
-Überwache DOM-Änderungen während des Drags:
-
-```javascript
-const observer = new MutationObserver((mutations) => {
-  mutations.forEach((mutation) => {
-    // Suche nach CDK Drag-Elementen mit bestimmten Klassen
-    const dragElement = document.querySelector('.cdk-drag-preview');
-    if (dragElement) {
-      const assetId = dragElement.querySelector('[id^="a"]')?.id;
-      bridge.handleDrag(assetId);
-    }
-  });
-});
-
-observer.observe(document.body, {
-  childList: true,
-  subtree: true,
-  attributes: true,
-  attributeFilter: ['class']
-});
-```
-
-**Vorteile:**
-- ✅ Robuster gegenüber Framework-Updates
-- ✅ Funktioniert mit beliebigen Frameworks
-
-**Nachteile:**
-- ⚠️ Performance-Overhead
-- ⚠️ Kann falsche Positive erzeugen
-
-#### Ansatz 3: Qt WebChannel Bridge mit Custom Events
-Nutze Qt WebChannel, um mit der Angular-Anwendung zu kommunizieren:
-
-```python
-# Python-Seite (Qt)
-class DragBridge(QObject):
-    @Slot(str, str)
-    def onAssetDragStart(self, asset_id: str, asset_name: str):
-        """Called from JavaScript when Angular CDK drag starts."""
-        logger.info(f"Asset drag started: {asset_id} ({asset_name})")
-        self.convert_and_drag(asset_id, asset_name)
-```
-
-```javascript
-// JavaScript-Seite (injiziert via QWebEngineScript)
-new QWebChannel(qt.webChannelTransport, (channel) => {
-  const dragBridge = channel.objects.dragBridge;
-  
-  // Monkey-patch Angular CDK's DragRef
-  const originalStartDraggingSequence = CdkDrag.prototype._startDraggingSequence;
-  CdkDrag.prototype._startDraggingSequence = function(event) {
-    const assetElement = this.element.nativeElement;
-    const assetId = assetElement.id;
-    const assetName = assetElement.querySelector('img')?.alt;
-    
-    // Benachrichtige Qt
-    dragBridge.onAssetDragStart(assetId, assetName);
-    
-    // Rufe original Angular CDK Methode auf
-    return originalStartDraggingSequence.call(this, event);
-  };
-});
-```
-
-**Vorteile:**
-- ✅ Saubere Kommunikation zwischen Qt und Web
-- ✅ Kann Asset-Informationen zuverlässig extrahieren
-- ✅ Typensicher (Qt Signals/Slots)
-
-**Nachteile:**
-- ⚠️ Erfordert Monkey-Patching von Angular CDK
-- ⚠️ Kann bei CDK Updates brechen
-
-#### Ansatz 4: Browser DevTools Protocol (Chrome DevTools)
-Nutze Chrome DevTools Protocol für tiefere Integration:
-
-```python
-from PySide6.QtWebEngineCore import QWebEngineProfile
-
-profile = QWebEngineProfile.defaultProfile()
-profile.setRequestInterceptor(...)
-
-# Intercepte Netzwerk-Requests und injiziere Header
-# Überwache JavaScript-Execution via CDP
-```
-
-**Vorteile:**
-- ✅ Sehr mächtig, kann JavaScript-Execution überwachen
-- ✅ Kann Events auf niedrigerer Ebene abfangen
-
-**Nachteile:**
-- ⚠️ Sehr komplex
-- ⚠️ Erfordert Chrome DevTools Protocol Kenntnisse
-- ⚠️ Performance-Overhead
-
-## Empfohlener Ansatz
-
-### **Ansatz 3: Qt WebChannel Bridge** (BEVORZUGT)
-
-**Begründung:**
-1. ✅ Saubere Architektur mit klarer Trennung
-2. ✅ Typsicher durch Qt Signals/Slots
-3. ✅ Kann Asset-IDs und -Namen zuverlässig extrahieren
-4. ✅ Funktioniert auch wenn Angular CDK interne Änderungen hat
-5. ✅ Ermöglicht bidirektionale Kommunikation
-
-**Implementierungsschritte:**
-
-### Phase 1: Asset-Informationen extrahieren
-1. JavaScript via QWebEngineScript injizieren
-2. Qt WebChannel setuppen
-3. Angular CDK Events überwachen (ohne Monkey-Patching als Test)
-4. Asset-IDs und Namen an Qt senden
-
-### Phase 2: Native Drag initiieren
-1. Bei CDK Drag-Start: Extrahiere Asset-Informationen
-2. Sende Asset-ID an Backend/API
-3. Erhalte lokalen Dateipfad oder Azure Blob URL
-4. Konvertiere zu lokalem Pfad (wie aktuell)
-5. Initiiere nativen Drag mit QDrag
-
-### Phase 3: Drag-Feedback
-1. Zeige Drag-Preview in Qt (optional)
-2. Update Cursor während Drag
-3. Cleanup nach Drag-Ende
-
-## Asset-ID zu Dateipfad Mapping
-
-Die Anwendung verwendet Asset-IDs in mehreren Formaten:
-
-```javascript
-// Asset-ID: anPGZszKzgKaSz1SIx2HFgduy
-
-// Mögliche URL-Konstruktion:

-const blobUrl = `https://static.agravity.io/${workspaceId}/${assetId}/${filename}`;
-```
-
-**Für WebDrop Bridge:**
-- Asset-ID aus DOM extrahieren
-- Asset-Metadaten via API abrufen (falls verfügbar)
-- Blob-URL konstruieren
-- URL Converter nutzen (bereits implementiert!)
-
-## Next Steps
-
-1. **Proof of Concept**: Qt WebChannel mit einfachem Event-Logger
-2. **Asset-ID Extraction**: JavaScript Injection testen
-3. **API Research**: GlobalDAM API untersuchen (Asset-Metadaten)
-4. **Integration**: Mit bestehendem URLConverter verbinden
-5. **Testing**: Mit echten Assets testen
-
-## Hinweise
-
-- Angular CDK Version kann sich unterscheiden - Code muss robust sein
-- Asset-IDs scheinen eindeutig zu sein (Base64-ähnlich)
-- Die Anwendung nutzt Azure Blob Storage (basierend auf bisherigen URLs)
-- Custom Components (`ay-*`) deuten auf eine eigene Component Library hin

+# Branding, Builds, and Releases
+
+This document describes how branded builds work in this repository, how to add or edit a brand, how to build the default and branded variants, and how to publish releases.
+
+## Overview
+
+The project supports one default product and any number of branded variants from the same codebase.
+
+- The default product is defined by built-in defaults in `build/scripts/brand_config.py`.
+- The default product identifier is `webdrop_bridge`.
+- Additional brands are defined by JSON manifests in `build/brands/`.
+- Runtime behavior can also be branded through application config values such as `brand_id`, `config_dir_name`, `app_name`, and update settings.
+- Windows and macOS installers are built as separate artifacts per brand.
+- Releases are shared by version. A single Forgejo release can contain installers for the default product and multiple brands.
+
+## Branding Model
+
+There are two layers to branding:
+
+1. Packaging identity
+   Controls installer name, executable/app bundle name, product display name, bundle identifier, MSI upgrade code, installer artwork, and related metadata.
+
+2. Runtime configuration
+   Controls app name shown in the UI, config directory name, update feed settings, URL mappings, allowed roots, and similar application behavior.
+
+Packaging identity lives in `build/brands/<brand>.json`.
+
+Runtime configuration lives in app config files loaded by the application. See `config.example.json` for the current branded example.
+
+## Important Files
+
+- `build/scripts/brand_config.py`: central helper for brand metadata, artifact naming, and release manifest generation
+- `build/brands/agravity.json`: example branded manifest
+- `build/scripts/build_windows.py`: Windows build entrypoint
+- `build/scripts/build_macos.sh`: macOS build entrypoint
+- `build/scripts/create_release.ps1`: Windows release uploader
+- `build/scripts/create_release.sh`: macOS release uploader
+- `config.example.json`: example runtime branding config
+
+## Create a New Brand
+
+To create a new brand, add a new manifest file under `build/brands/`.
+
+Example:
+
+1. Copy `build/brands/template.jsonc` to `build/brands/<new-brand>.json`.
+2. Update the values for the new brand.
+3. Add any brand-specific assets if you do not want to reuse the default icons/license assets.
+
+Minimal example:
+
+```json
+{
+  "brand_id": "customerx",
+  "display_name": "Customer X Bridge",
+  "asset_prefix": "CustomerXBridge",
+  "exe_name": "CustomerXBridge",
+  "manufacturer": "Customer X",
+  "install_dir_name": "Customer X Bridge",
+  "shortcut_description": "Customer X drag-and-drop bridge",
+  "bundle_identifier": "com.customerx.bridge",
+  "config_dir_name": "customerx_bridge",
+  "msi_upgrade_code": "PUT-A-NEW-GUID-HERE",
+  "update_channel": "stable",
+  "icon_ico": "resources/icons/app.ico",
+  "icon_icns": "resources/icons/app.icns",
+  "dialog_bmp": "resources/icons/background.bmp",
+  "banner_bmp": "resources/icons/banner.bmp",
+  "license_rtf": "resources/license.rtf"
+}
+```
+
+### Required Fields
+
+- `brand_id`: internal identifier used for build output folders and release manifest entries
+- `display_name`: user-facing product name
+- `asset_prefix`: base name for installer artifacts and app bundle name
+- `exe_name`: executable name for Windows and app bundle name base for macOS
+- `manufacturer`: MSI manufacturer string
+- `install_dir_name`: installation directory name shown to the OS
+- `shortcut_description`: Windows shortcut description
+- `bundle_identifier`: macOS bundle identifier
+- `config_dir_name`: local app config/log/cache directory name
+- `msi_upgrade_code`: stable GUID for Windows upgrades
+- `update_channel`: currently typically `stable`
+
+Generate a new `msi_upgrade_code` for a new brand once and keep it stable afterwards.
+
+Examples:
+
+```powershell
+New-Guid
+```
+
+```bash
+uuidgen
+```
+
+### Asset Fields
+
+These can point at brand-specific files or default shared files:
+
+- `icon_ico`
+- `icon_icns`
+- `dialog_bmp`
+- `banner_bmp`
+- `license_rtf`
+
+Optional toolbar icon overrides:
+
+- `toolbar_icon_home`
+- `toolbar_icon_reload`
+- `toolbar_icon_open`
+- `toolbar_icon_openwith`
+
+If a referenced asset path does not exist, the helper falls back to the default asset defined in `build/scripts/brand_config.py`.
+
+For toolbar icons, the runtime looks for the configured paths in packaged and development layouts. If an icon is missing:
+
+- Home falls back to a standard Qt home icon
+- Reload/Open/OpenWith keep their existing icon behavior
+
+### Identity Rules
+
+Treat these values as long-lived product identity once a brand has shipped:
+
+- `brand_id`
+- `asset_prefix`
+- `exe_name`
+- `bundle_identifier`
+- `config_dir_name`
+- `msi_upgrade_code`
+
+Changing them later can break one or more of the following:
+
+- Windows upgrade behavior
+- macOS app identity
+- auto-update asset selection
+- local config/log/cache continuity
+- installer and artifact naming consistency
+
+If the product is already in use, only change these values deliberately and with migration planning.
+
+## Edit an Existing Brand
+
+To edit a shipped or in-progress brand:
+
+1. Update the brand manifest in `build/brands/<brand>.json`.
+2. If needed, update brand-specific assets referenced by that manifest.
+3. If runtime behavior should also change, update the relevant application config values.
+4. Rebuild the affected platform artifacts.
+5. Validate the result with a dry-run release before publishing.
+
+Safe edits after release usually include:
+
+- `display_name`
+- `shortcut_description`
+- artwork paths
+- license text
+- update channel, if release policy changes
+
+High-risk edits after release are the identity fields listed above.
+
+## Runtime Branding Configuration
+
+Packaging branding alone is not enough if the app should also present a different name, use different local storage, or point to different update settings.
+
+Relevant runtime config keys include:
+
+- `brand_id`
+- `config_dir_name`
+- `app_name`
+- `update_base_url`
+- `update_repo`
+- `update_channel`
+- `update_manifest_name`
+
+Toolbar icon env overrides (useful for packaged branding):
+
+- `TOOLBAR_ICON_HOME`
+- `TOOLBAR_ICON_RELOAD`
+- `TOOLBAR_ICON_OPEN`
+- `TOOLBAR_ICON_OPENWITH`
+
+The current example in `config.example.json` shows the Agravity runtime setup.
+
+When adding a new brand, make sure the runtime config matches the packaging manifest at least for:
+
+- `brand_id`
+- `config_dir_name`
+- `app_name`
+
+## Build the Default Product
+
+### Windows
+
+Build the default executable only:
+
+```powershell
+python .\build\scripts\build_windows.py
+```
+
+Build the default Windows MSI:
+
+```powershell
+python .\build\scripts\build_windows.py --msi
+```
+
+Build with a specific `.env` file:
+
+```powershell
+python .\build\scripts\build_windows.py --msi --env-file .\.env
+```
+
+### macOS
+
+Build the default macOS app and DMG:
+
+```bash
+bash build/scripts/build_macos.sh
+```
+
+Build with a specific `.env` file:
+
+```bash
+bash build/scripts/build_macos.sh --env-file .env
+```
+
+## Build a Brand
+
+### Windows
+
+Build a branded executable only:
+
+```powershell
+python .\build\scripts\build_windows.py --brand agravity
+```
+
+Build a branded MSI:
+
+```powershell
+python .\build\scripts\build_windows.py --brand agravity --msi
+```
+
+### macOS
+
+Build a branded macOS app and DMG:
+
+```bash
+bash build/scripts/build_macos.sh --brand agravity
+```
+
+## Build Output Locations
+
+Windows artifacts are written to:
+
+- `build/dist/windows/webdrop_bridge/` for the default product
+- `build/dist/windows/<brand_id>/` for branded products
+
+macOS artifacts are written to:
+
+- `build/dist/macos/webdrop_bridge/` for the default product
+- `build/dist/macos/<brand_id>/` for branded products
+
+Typical artifact names:
+
+- Windows MSI: `<asset_prefix>-<version>-win-x64.msi`
+- Windows checksum: `<asset_prefix>-<version>-win-x64.msi.sha256`
+- macOS DMG: `<asset_prefix>-<version>-macos-universal.dmg`
+- macOS checksum: `<asset_prefix>-<version>-macos-universal.dmg.sha256`
+
+## Create a Release
+
+Releases are shared by version. The release scripts scan local build outputs on the current machine and upload every artifact they find for that platform.
+
+This means:
+
+- a Windows machine can upload all locally built MSIs for the current version
+- a macOS machine can later upload all locally built DMGs for the same version
+- both runs contribute to the same Forgejo release tag
+- `release-manifest.json` is merged so later runs do not wipe earlier platform entries
+
+### Windows Release
+
+Dry run first:
+
+```powershell
+.\build\scripts\create_release.ps1 -DryRun
+```
+
+Publish all locally built Windows variants for the current version:
+
+```powershell
+.\build\scripts\create_release.ps1
+```
+
+Publish only selected brands:
+
+```powershell
+.\build\scripts\create_release.ps1 -Brands agravity
+```
+
+Publish only the default product:
+
+```powershell
+.\build\scripts\create_release.ps1 -Brands webdrop_bridge
+```
+
+Publish a specific version:
+
+```powershell
+.\build\scripts\create_release.ps1 -Version 0.8.4
+```
+
+### macOS Release
+
+Dry run first:
+
+```bash
+bash build/scripts/create_release.sh --dry-run
+```
+
+Publish all locally built macOS variants for the current version:
+
+```bash
+bash build/scripts/create_release.sh
+```
+
+Publish only selected brands:
+
+```bash
+bash build/scripts/create_release.sh --brand agravity
+```
+
+Publish only the default product:
+
+```bash
+bash build/scripts/create_release.sh --brand webdrop_bridge
+```
+
+Publish a specific version:
+
+```bash
+bash build/scripts/create_release.sh --version 0.8.4
+```
+
+### Credentials
+
+Both release scripts use Forgejo credentials from environment variables when available:
+
+- `FORGEJO_USER`
+- `FORGEJO_PASS`
+
+If they are not set and you are not in dry-run mode, the script prompts for them.
+
+Both scripts also support clearing credentials from the current shell session:
+
+- Windows: `-ClearCredentials`
+- macOS: `--clear-credentials`
+
+## Dry Run Behavior
+
+Dry-run mode is the preferred validation step before publishing.
+
+Dry-run mode:
+
+- discovers the local artifacts exactly like a real release run
+- prints the release tag and target release URL
+- prints the brands that were discovered locally
+- prints the artifact paths that would be uploaded
+- writes a local manifest preview to `build/dist/release-manifest.json`
+- does not prompt for credentials
+- does not perform network requests
+- does not delete or upload assets
+
+## Release Manifest
+
+The release scripts generate and upload `release-manifest.json`.
+
+This file is used by the updater to select the correct installer and checksum for a given brand and platform.
+
+Current platform keys are:
+
+- `windows-x64`
+- `macos-universal`
+
+The manifest is built from local artifacts and merged with any existing manifest already attached to the release.
+
+## First Manual Download (Before Auto-Update)
+
+After creating a release, a user can manually download the first installer directly from Forgejo. Once installed, auto-update handles later versions.
+
+Base repository URL:
+
+- `https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge`
+
+Release page pattern:
+
+- `https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/releases/tag/v<version>`
+
+Direct asset download pattern:
+
+- `https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/releases/download/v<version>/<asset-file-name>`
+
+Example asset names:
+
+- `WebDropBridge-0.8.4-win-x64.msi`
+- `WebDropBridge-0.8.4-macos-universal.dmg`
+- `AgravityBridge-0.8.4-win-x64.msi`
+- `AgravityBridge-0.8.4-macos-universal.dmg`
+
+### wget Examples
+
+```bash
+# Default Windows installer
+wget "https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/releases/download/v0.8.4/WebDropBridge-0.8.4-win-x64.msi"
+
+# Agravity macOS installer
+wget "https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/releases/download/v0.8.4/AgravityBridge-0.8.4-macos-universal.dmg"
+```
+
+### curl Examples
+
+```bash
+# Default macOS installer
+curl -L -o WebDropBridge-0.8.4-macos-universal.dmg \
+   "https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/releases/download/v0.8.4/WebDropBridge-0.8.4-macos-universal.dmg"
+
+# Agravity Windows installer
+curl -L -o AgravityBridge-0.8.4-win-x64.msi \
+   "https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/releases/download/v0.8.4/AgravityBridge-0.8.4-win-x64.msi"
+```
+
+### PowerShell Example
+
+```powershell
+Invoke-WebRequest `
+   -Uri "https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/webdrop-bridge/releases/download/v0.8.4/WebDropBridge-0.8.4-win-x64.msi" `
+   -OutFile "WebDropBridge-0.8.4-win-x64.msi"
+```
+
+You can inspect `release-manifest.json` on the release to see the exact file names for each brand and platform.
+
+## Recommended Workflow for a New Brand
+
+1. Create `build/brands/<brand>.json`.
+2. Add or update brand-specific assets if needed.
+3. Prepare matching runtime config values.
+4. Build the brand on Windows and/or macOS.
+5. Run the release script in dry-run mode.
+6. Verify artifact names, discovered brands, and manifest contents.
+7. Run the actual release script.
+8. Validate update behavior against the shared release.
+
+## Troubleshooting Notes
+
+### Brand not discovered by release script
+
+Check that:
+
+- the build completed successfully
+- the artifact is under the expected platform folder
+- the artifact name matches the `asset_prefix` and current version
+- the version used by the release script matches the built artifact version
+
+### Windows upgrade behavior is wrong
+
+Check that the brand has its own stable `msi_upgrade_code`. Reusing or changing it incorrectly will break expected MSI upgrade semantics.
+
+### App uses the wrong local config folder
+
+Check that runtime config uses the intended `config_dir_name`, and that it matches the packaging brand you expect.
+
+### Auto-update downloads the wrong installer
+
+Check that:
+
+- the release contains the correct installer files
+- `release-manifest.json` includes the correct brand and platform entry
+- runtime update settings point to the expected repo/channel/manifest
+
+## Current Example Brand
+
+The first branded variant currently in the repository is:
+
+- `build/brands/agravity.json`
+
+Use it as the template for future branded variants.

 # Drag & Drop Problem Analysis - File Drop + Web App Popup
 
-## Das Kernproblem
+**Status**: Phase 1 (File Drop) ✅ Implemented | Phase 2 (Popup Trigger) ⏸️ Planned  
+**Last Updated**: March 3, 2026
 
-**Ziel**: Bei ALT-Drag soll:
+## Overview
+
+### Current Implementation Status
+
+✅ **Phase 1 - File Drop (IMPLEMENTED)**
+- JavaScript in `bridge_script_intercept.js` intercepts drag events
+- Calls `window.bridge.start_file_drag(url)` via QWebChannel to Qt
+- Validates path against whitelist via `PathValidator`
+- Converts Azure Storage URLs to local paths via `URLConverter`
+- Creates and executes native Qt file drag operation
+- Target application (InDesign, Word, etc.) successfully receives file
+
+⏸️ **Phase 2 - Programmatic Popup Trigger (PLANNED)**
+- Would require reverse-engineering the web app's popup trigger mechanism
+- Could be implemented by calling JavaScript function after successful drop
+- Currently: Applications handle popups manually or separately from file drops
+
+---
+
+## Das Kernproblem
 1. ✅ File gedroppt werden (Z:\ Laufwerk) → Native File-Drop
 2. ✅ Web-App Popup erscheinen (Auschecken-Dialog) → Web-App Drop-Event

 ## 📝 Empfehlung
 
-**Sofortige Maßnahmen:**
+### Current Status (as of March 2026)
 
-1. ✅ **Lösung A Phase 1 ist bereits implementiert** (File-Drop funktioniert)
+✅ **Phase 1 Complete:**
+- File-drop via native Qt drag operations is fully functional
+- JavaScript bridge (`bridge_script_intercept.js`) successfully intercepts and converts drags
+- Path validation and Azure URL mapping working
+- Tested with real applications (InDesign, Word, etc.)
 
-2. 🔍 **Reverse-Engineering durchführen:**
-   - GlobalDAM JRI im Browser öffnen
-   - DevTools öffnen (F12)
-   - ALT-Drag+Drop durchführen
-   - Beobachten:
-     - Network-Tab → API-Calls?
-     - Console → Fehler/Logs?
-     - Angular DevTools → Component-Events?
+### For Future Enhancement (Phase 2 - Popup Trigger)
 
-3. 🛠️ **Popup-Trigger implementieren:**
-   - Sobald bekannt WIE Popup ausgelöst wird
-   - JavaScript-Funktion `trigger_checkout_popup()` erstellen
-   - Von Qt aus nach erfolgreichem Drop aufrufen
+**If popup trigger integration is needed:**
 
-4. 🧪 **Testen:**
-   - ALT-Drag eines Assets
-   - File-Drop sollte funktionieren
-   - Popup sollte erscheinen
+1. 🔍 **Reverse-Engineering the Target Web App:**
+   - Identify how popups are triggered (API call, component method, event, etc.)
+   - Use browser DevTools:
+     - Network tab → Monitor API calls
+     - Console → Check for JavaScript errors/logs
+     - Elements → Inspect component structure
+     - Angular/Vue DevTools if applicable
 
-**Fallback:**
-Falls Reverse-Engineering zu komplex ist → **Lösung B** verwenden (Kein Drag, nur Copy nach Popup-Bestätigung)
+2. 🛠️ **Implement Popup Trigger:**
+   - Create JavaScript hook function (e.g., `window.trigger_popup(assetId)`)
+   - Connect to drop success signal from Qt
+   - Call popup trigger after successful file drop
+
+3. 🧪 **Test Integration:**
+   - Verify file drops successfully
+   - Verify popup appears after drop
+   - Test with real assets/files
+
+**Alternative Approaches:**
+
+- **Lösung B (Manual)**: Keep file drop and popup as separate user actions
+- **Lösung C (Complex)**: Use overlay window approach (more involved)
+
+Current implementation uses **Phase 1 of Lösung A** and is production-ready.

+# Hover Effects Analysis - Qt WebEngineView Limitation
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+**Status**: Hover effects partially functional in Qt WebEngineView, with a clear Qt limitation identified.
+
+- ✅ **Checkbox hover**: Works correctly
+- ✅ **Event detection**: Polling-based detection functional
+- ❌ **Menu expansion via :hover**: Does NOT work (Qt limitation)
+- ❌ **Tailwind CSS :hover-based effects**: Do NOT work in Qt
+
+## Investigation Results
+
+### Test Environment
+- **Framework**: PySide6 QWebEngineView
+- **Web App**: Angular + Tailwind CSS
+- **Browser Test**: Google Chrome (reference)
+- **Test Date**: March 4, 2026
+
+### Chrome Browser Results
+Both menu expansion and checkbox hover work perfectly in Chrome browser. This confirms the issue is **Qt-specific**, not a web application problem.
+
+### Qt WebEngineView Results
+
+#### What Works ✅
+1. **Checkbox hover effects**
+   - Checkboxes appear on hover
+   - CSS-based simulation via `.__mouse_hover` class works correctly
+   - `input[type="checkbox"].__mouse_hover` CSS selector successfully applied
+
+2. **Event detection**
+   - Mouse position tracking: Working
+   - `document.elementFromPoint()` polling: Working (50ms interval)
+   - `mouseover`, `mouseenter`, `mouseleave`, `mousemove` event dispatching: Working
+   - Angular event listeners: Receiving dispatched events correctly
+
+3. **DOM element access**
+   - Menu element found with `querySelectorAll()`
+   - Event listeners identified: `{click: Array(1)}`
+   - Not in Shadow DOM (accessible from JavaScript)
+
+#### What Doesn't Work ❌
+1. **Menu expansion via Tailwind :hover**
+   - Menu element: `.group` class with `hover:bg-neutral-300`
+   - Menu children have: `.group-hover:w-full` (Tailwind pattern)
+   - Expected behavior: `.group:hover > .group-hover:w-full` triggers on hover
+   - Actual behavior: No expansion (`:hover` pseudo-selector not activated)
+
+2. **Tailwind CSS :hover-based styles**
+   - Pattern: `.group:hover > .group-hover:*` (Tailwind generated)
+   - Root cause: Qt doesn't properly set `:hover` pseudo-selector state for dispatched events
+   - Impact: Any CSS rule depending on `:hover` pseudo-selector won't work
+
+## Technical Analysis
+
+### The Core Issue
+
+Qt WebEngineView doesn't forward native mouse events to JavaScript in a way that properly triggers the CSS `:hover` pseudo-selector. When we dispatch synthetic events:
+
+```javascript
+element.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent("mouseover", {...}));
+element.dispatchEvent(new MouseEvent("mouseenter", {...}));
+```
+
+The browser's CSS engine **does not** update the `:hover` pseudo-selector state. This is different from a native browser, where:
+
+1. User moves mouse
+2. Browser kernel detects native hover
+3. `:hover` pseudo-selector activates
+4. CSS rules matching `:hover` are applied
+
+### Evidence
+
+**Chrome DevTools inspection** revealed:
+```
+Event Listeners: {click: Array(1)}  // Only CLICK handler, NO hover handlers
+Menu element className: "flex h-14 w-full items-center p-2 transition-colors hover:bg-neutral-300 ... group"
+```
+
+The Angular app handles UI in two ways:
+1. **Click events**: Directly handled by JavaScript listeners → Works
+2. **Hover effects**: Rely on CSS `:hover` pseudo-selector → Doesn't work in Qt
+
+### Why This Is a Limitation
+
+This is not fixable by JavaScript injection because:
+
+1. **JavaScript can't activate CSS `:hover`**: The `:hover` pseudo-selector is a browser-native feature that only CSS engines can modify. JavaScript can't directly trigger it.
+
+2. **Tailwind CSS is static**: Tailwind generates CSS rules like `.group:hover > .group-hover:w-full { width: 11rem; }`. These rules expect the `:hover` pseudo-selector to be active—JavaScript can't force them to apply.
+
+3. **Qt engine limitation**: Qt WebEngineView's Chromium engine doesn't properly handle `:hover` for non-native events.
+
+### What We Tried
+
+| Approach | Result | Notes |
+|----------|--------|-------|
+| Direct CSS class injection | ❌ Failed | `.group.__mouse_hover` doesn't trigger Tailwind rules |
+| PointerEvent dispatch | ❌ Failed | Modern API didn't help |
+| JavaScript style manipulation | ❌ Failed | Can't force Tailwind CSS rules via JS |
+| Polling + synthetic mouse events | ⚠️ Partial | Works for custom handlers, not for `:hover` |
+
+## Implementation Status
+
+### Current Solution
+File: [mouse_event_emulator.js](../src/webdrop_bridge/ui/mouse_event_emulator.js)
+
+**What it does:**
+1. Polls `document.elementFromPoint()` every 50ms to detect element changes
+2. Dispatches `mouseover`, `mouseenter`, `mouseleave`, `mousemove` events
+3. Applies `.__mouse_hover` CSS class for custom hover simulation
+4. Works for elements with JavaScript event handlers
+
+**What it doesn't do:**
+1. Cannot activate `:hover` pseudo-selector
+2. Cannot trigger Tailwind CSS hover-based rules
+3. Cannot fix Qt's limitation
+
+### Performance
+- CPU overhead: Minimal (polling every 50ms on idle)
+- Startup impact: Negligible
+- Memory footprint: ~2KB script size
+
+## Verification Steps
+
+To verify this limitation exists in your Qt environment:
+
+### Chrome Test
+1. Open web app in Chrome
+2. Hover over menu → Menu expands ✅
+3. Hover over checkbox → Checkbox appears ✅
+
+### Qt Test
+1. Run application in Qt
+2. Hover over menu → Menu does NOT expand ❌ (known limitation)
+3. Hover over checkbox → Checkbox appears ✅ (works via CSS class)
+
+### Debug Verification (if needed)
+In Chrome DevTools console:
+
+```javascript
+// Find menu element
+const menuGroup = document.querySelector('[class*="group"]');
+console.log("Menu group:", menuGroup?.className);
+
+// Check for Shadow DOM
+const inShadow = menuGroup?.getRootNode() !== document;
+console.log("In Shadow DOM:", inShadow);  // Should be false
+
+// Check event listeners
+console.log("Event Listeners:", getEventListeners(menuGroup));  // Shows if handlers exist
+```
+
+Results:
+- Menu element: Found
+- Shadow DOM: No
+- Event listeners: `{click: Array(1)}` (only click, no hover handlers)
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### What Developers Should Know
+1. **Don't expect :hover effects to work in Qt WebEngineView**
+   - This is a known limitation, not a bug in WebDrop Bridge
+   - The application itself works correctly in Chrome
+
+2. **Workarounds for your web app**
+   - Replace `:hover` with JavaScript click handlers
+   - Add click-to-toggle functionality instead of hover
+   - This is outside the scope of WebDrop Bridge
+
+3. **For similar Qt projects**
+   - Be aware of this `:hover` pseudo-selector limitation when embedding web content
+   - Consider detecting Qt environment and serving alternative UI
+   - Test web apps in actual Chrome browser before embedding in Qt
+
+### Future Improvements (Not Feasible)
+The following would require Qt framework modifications:
+- Improving QWebEngineView's `:hover` pseudo-selector support
+- Better mouse event forwarding to browser CSS engine
+- Custom CSS selector handling in embedded browser
+
+None of these are achievable through application-level code.
+
+## Summary
+
+WebDrop Bridge successfully emulates hover behavior for elements with JavaScript event handlers (like checkboxes). However, Tailwind CSS and other frameworks that rely on the CSS `:hover` pseudo-selector will not work fully in Qt WebEngineView due to an inherent limitation in how Qt forwards mouse events to the browser's CSS engine.
+
+This is not a defect in WebDrop Bridge, but rather a limitation of embedding web content in Qt applications. The web application works perfectly in standard browsers like Chrome.

+# Package Manager Support for WebDropBridge
+
+This document explains how to build and publish WebDropBridge to package managers like Chocolatey (Windows) and Homebrew (macOS).
+
+## Overview
+
+WebDropBridge supports installation via package managers, making it easier for users to install, update, and manage the application.
+
+| Package Manager | OS | Status | Directory |
+|-----------------|-----|--------|-----------|
+| **Chocolatey** | Windows | Supported | `build/chocolatey/` |
+| **Homebrew** | macOS | Supported | `build/homebrew/` |
+| **Winget** | Windows | Optional | Future |
+
+## Quick Start: Simplest Approach (Direct Distribution)
+
+**No infrastructure or accounts needed** - just build once and share:
+
+```powershell
+# 1. Build the Chocolatey package
+cd build/chocolatey
+python ../../build/scripts/build_windows.py --msi
+certutil -hashfile "../../build/dist/windows/WebDropBridge_Setup.msi" SHA256
+# Update checksum in tools/chocolateyInstall.ps1
+choco pack webdrop-bridge.nuspec
+
+# 2. Share webdrop-bridge.0.8.0.nupkg
+#    File share: \\server\packages\
+#    USB drive, email, Forgejo releases, etc.
+
+# 3. Users install it
+#    choco install webdrop-bridge.0.8.0.nupkg -s "\\server\packages"
+```
+
+**Advantages:**
+- ✅ No accounts or external infrastructure
+- ✅ Works in air-gapped/offline environments
+- ✅ Simple one-time setup
+- ✅ Version management through file shares
+
+**For centralized distribution**, see Options 1-3 below.
+
+---
+
+## Chocolatey (Windows)
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Chocolatey installed: https://chocolatey.org/install
+- (Only for public community repo) Chocolatey maintainer account at chocolatey.org
+
+### Building the Chocolatey Package
+
+```bash
+# 1. Build MSI installer first
+python build/scripts/build_windows.py --msi
+
+# 2. Calculate SHA256 checksum of the MSI
+certutil -hashfile "build/dist/windows/WebDropBridge_Setup.msi" SHA256
+
+# 3. Update the checksum in build/chocolatey/tools/chocolateyInstall.ps1
+#    Replace: $Checksum = ''
+#    With:    $Checksum = 'YOUR_SHA256_HASH'
+
+# 4. Update version in chocolatey/webdrop-bridge.nuspec
+#    <version>0.8.0</version>
+
+# 5. Create the package
+cd build/chocolatey
+choco pack webdrop-bridge.nuspec
+```
+
+This creates `webdrop-bridge.0.8.0.nupkg`
+
+### Publishing to Chocolatey
+
+**Option 1: Internal NuGet Repository (Recommended for HIM)**
+
+Host on your own NuGet server (Azure Artifacts, Artifactory, ProGet, etc.):
+
+```powershell
+# Configure Chocolatey to use internal repository
+choco source add -n=internal-repo -s "https://your-artifactory.internal/nuget/chocolatey/"
+
+# Push package to internal repo
+nuget push webdrop-bridge.0.8.0.nupkg -Source https://your-artifactory.internal/nuget/chocolatey/ -ApiKey YOUR_API_KEY
+
+# Users install from internal repo (already configured)
+choco install webdrop-bridge
+```
+
+**Option 2: Community Repository (chocolatey.org)**
+
+If you want public distribution (requires community maintainer account):
+
+```bash
+# Push to community repo
+choco push webdrop-bridge.0.8.0.nupkg --api-key YOUR_CHOCOLATEY_API_KEY
+```
+
+**Option 3: No Repository (Direct Distribution)**
+
+Share the `.nupkg` file directly, users install locally:
+
+```powershell
+# User downloads webdrop-bridge.0.8.0.nupkg and runs:
+choco install webdrop-bridge.0.8.0.nupkg -s C:\path\to\package\folder
+```
+
+### User Installation
+
+Depending on your chosen distribution:
+
+```powershell
+# If using internal repository
+choco install webdrop-bridge
+
+# If using community repo (chocolatey.org)
+choco install webdrop-bridge
+
+# If distributing directly
+choco install webdrop-bridge.0.8.0.nupkg -s "\\network\share\packages"
+```
+
+## Homebrew (macOS)
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Homebrew installed: https://brew.sh
+- GitHub or Gitea account for hosting tap repository
+
+### Two Approaches
+
+#### Option A: Local Tap (Recommended for HIM)
+
+Create a custom tap repository to distribute your formula without submitting to official Homebrew.
+
+**Setup:**
+
+```bash
+# Create tap repository
+mkdir homebrew-webdrop-bridge
+cd homebrew-webdrop-bridge
+
+# Create structure
+mkdir -p Formula
+cp ../build/homebrew/webdrop-bridge.rb Formula/
+
+# Initialize git repo and push to Forgejo
+git init
+git add .
+git commit -m "Add webdrop-bridge formula"
+git remote add origin https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/homebrew-webdrop-bridge.git
+git push -u origin main
+```
+
+**User Installation:**
+
+```bash
+# Add tap
+brew tap HIM-public/webdrop-bridge https://git.him-tools.de/HIM-public/homebrew-webdrop-bridge.git
+
+# Install
+brew install webdrop-bridge
+
+# Upgrade
+brew upgrade webdrop-bridge
+```
+
+#### Option B: Official Homebrew Repository
+
+Submit to `homebrew/casks` (requires more maintenance but no separate tap):
+
+1. Fork https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-casks
+2. Create pull request with Cask file
+3. Homebrew maintainers review and merge
+4. Users install via `brew install --cask webdrop-bridge`
+
+### Building the Homebrew Package (Locally)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Build DMG installer
+bash build/scripts/build_macos.sh
+
+# 2. Calculate SHA256 checksum
+shasum -a 256 "build/dist/macos/WebDropBridge_Setup.dmg"
+
+# 3. Update formula with checksum and URL
+#    build/homebrew/webdrop-bridge.rb
+#    - url: https://git.him-tools.de/...releases/download/vX.X.X/WebDropBridge_Setup.dmg
+#    - sha256: YOUR_SHA256_HASH
+```
+
+### Testing Homebrew Formula Locally
+
+```bash
+# Validate formula syntax
+brew audit --formula build/homebrew/webdrop-bridge.rb
+
+# Install from local formula
+brew install build/homebrew/webdrop-bridge.rb
+
+# Verify installation
+brew list webdrop-bridge
+webdrop-bridge --version  # If CLI exists, or check Applications folder
+```
+
+## Publishing Workflow
+
+### Step 1: Build Release
+
+```bash
+# Release v0.8.0
+
+# Windows MSI
+python build/scripts/build_windows.py --msi
+
+# macOS DMG
+bash build/scripts/build_macos.sh
+```
+
+### Step 2: Create Forgejo Release
+
+Tag and upload installers to Forgejo:
+
+```bash
+git tag -a v0.8.0 -m "Release 0.8.0"
+git push upstream v0.8.0
+
+# Upload MSI and DMG to Forgejo release page
+```
+
+### Step 3: Calculate Checksums
+
+```bash
+# Windows
+certutil -hashfile WebDropBridge_Setup.msi SHA256
+
+# macOS
+shasum -a 256 WebDropBridge_Setup.dmg
+```
+
+### Step 4: Update Package Manager Files
+
+**Chocolatey** (`build/chocolatey/tools/chocolateyInstall.ps1`):
+```powershell
+$Checksum = 'WINDOWS_SHA256_HASH'
+```
+
+**Homebrew** (`build/homebrew/webdrop-bridge.rb`):
+```ruby
+sha256 "MACOS_SHA256_HASH"
+```
+
+### Step 5: Test Package Installation
+
+**Chocolatey:**
+```powershell
+cd build/chocolatey
+choco pack
+choco install webdrop-bridge.0.8.0.nupkg -s .
+```
+
+**Homebrew (with tap):**
+```bash
+brew install ./build/homebrew/webdrop-bridge.rb
+```
+
+### Step 6: Publish
+
+**Chocolatey:**
+```powershell
+choco push webdrop-bridge.0.8.0.nupkg --api-key YOUR_KEY
+```
+
+**Homebrew:**
+- If using local tap: Push to Forgejo repository
+- If using official: Submit pull request to homebrew-casks
+
+## Update Workflow
+
+### For Subsequent Releases (e.g., v0.9.0)
+
+1. Build new installers (MSI/DMG)
+2. Create Forgejo release with new version
+3. Calculate new checksums
+4. Update version and checksums in:
+   - `build/chocolatey/webdrop-bridge.nuspec`
+   - `build/chocolatey/tools/chocolateyInstall.ps1`
+   - `build/homebrew/webdrop-bridge.rb`
+5. Test locally
+6. Publish to package managers
+
+## Configuration in Package Managers
+
+### Chocolatey
+
+Located in: `build/chocolatey/tools/chocolateyInstall.ps1`
+
+Key variables to update per release:
+- `$Version` - Application version
+- `$Url` - Download URL (Forgejo release)
+- `$Checksum` - SHA256 hash of MSI
+- `$ChecksumType` - Type of hash (sha256)
+
+### Homebrew
+
+Located in: `build/homebrew/webdrop-bridge.rb`
+
+Key variables to update per release:
+- `version` - Application version
+- `url` - Download URL (Forgejo release)
+- `sha256` - SHA256 hash of DMG
+
+## Automatic Updates
+
+### Via Package Managers
+
+When users install via Chocolatey/Homebrew, they receive updates through:
+
+```bash
+# Chocolatey
+choco upgrade webdrop-bridge
+
+# Homebrew
+brew upgrade webdrop-bridge
+```
+
+### Built-in Auto-Update (Fallback)
+
+WebDropBridge also includes built-in auto-update mechanism that:
+1. Checks Forgejo releases API on startup
+2. Notifies user of available updates
+3. Downloads and installs directly (bypasses package manager)
+
+This works for:
+- Direct downloads via wget
+- Standalone installer use
+- Users who skip package manager route
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Chocolatey Issues
+
+**Package won't install:**
+- Verify checksum: `certutil -hashfile WebDropBridge_Setup.msi SHA256`
+- Check MSI exists at URL: `wget URL`
+- Verify SHA256 matches in `chocolateyInstall.ps1`
+
+**Uninstall fails:**
+- Try manual uninstall first
+- Then recreate the Chocolatey package
+
+### Homebrew Issues
+
+**Formula won't install:**
+- Validate syntax: `brew audit --formula webdrop-bridge.rb`
+- Check URL is accessible: `curl -I URL`
+- Verify SHA256: `shasum -a 256 WebDropBridge_Setup.dmg`
+
+**Upgrade fails:**
+- Remove old version: `brew uninstall webdrop-bridge`
+- Reinstall: `brew install webdrop-bridge`

+# Translations Guide (i18n)
+
+This document explains how to:
+- add a new language
+- edit an existing language
+- update translations when new text is added in the app
+
+The app uses JSON-based translations loaded from:
+- resources/translations/
+
+## 1. Translation System Overview
+
+Main components:
+- src/webdrop_bridge/utils/i18n.py
+  - Loads language JSON files
+  - Provides tr("key", **kwargs)
+  - Falls back to English if a key is missing
+- src/webdrop_bridge/main.py
+  - Initializes i18n at app startup
+- src/webdrop_bridge/config.py
+  - Stores selected language in config (language field)
+- src/webdrop_bridge/ui/settings_dialog.py
+  - Language selector in Settings -> General
+
+Current language files:
+- resources/translations/en.json
+- resources/translations/de.json
+- resources/translations/fr.json
+- resources/translations/it.json
+- resources/translations/ru.json
+- resources/translations/zh.json
+
+## 2. Add a New Language
+
+Example: add Spanish (es).
+
+1. Create a new file:
+   - resources/translations/es.json
+
+2. Copy the full structure from English:
+   - Copy resources/translations/en.json to resources/translations/es.json
+
+3. Translate all values in es.json:
+   - Keep all keys exactly the same
+   - Only change text values
+   - Keep placeholders unchanged, for example:
+     - {name}
+     - {version}
+     - {error}
+
+4. Add language display name in i18n helper:
+   - Edit src/webdrop_bridge/utils/i18n.py
+   - In Translator.BUILTIN_LANGUAGES add:
+     - "es": "Español"
+
+5. Start app and test:
+   - Choose language in Settings -> General
+   - Restart app when prompted
+   - Verify tooltips, dialogs, status texts, settings labels, update dialogs
+
+## 3. Edit an Existing Language
+
+1. Open the language file, for example:
+   - resources/translations/de.json
+
+2. Update only text values.
+
+3. Do not:
+   - remove keys
+   - rename keys
+   - change placeholder names
+
+4. Validate JSON formatting:
+   - Must be valid JSON
+   - Keep UTF-8 encoding
+
+5. Test in app:
+   - Select language in Settings
+   - Restart and verify changed text appears
+
+## 4. When New Text Is Added in the App
+
+Whenever new UI text is introduced in code, follow this process.
+
+### Step A: Add a new translation key in code
+
+Instead of hardcoded text, use tr("...") with a key.
+
+Example:
+- Before: QLabel("Check for Updates")
+- After: QLabel(tr("toolbar.tooltip.check_updates"))
+
+If dynamic text is needed:
+- tr("update.status.available", version=release.version)
+
+### Step B: Add the key to English first
+
+1. Add the new key in:
+   - resources/translations/en.json
+
+2. Use clear key naming by area, for example:
+- toolbar.tooltip.*
+- dialog.*
+- settings.*
+- update.*
+- status.*
+- worker.*
+
+### Step C: Add the same key to all other language files
+
+Update each file in resources/translations:
+- de.json
+- fr.json
+- it.json
+- ru.json
+- zh.json
+- and any new language file
+
+If translation is not ready yet, copy English temporarily (better than missing key text in UI).
+
+### Step D: Test fallback and real translations
+
+1. Run app in English and verify new text.
+2. Run app in other languages and verify translated text.
+3. Confirm no raw key appears in UI (for example: dialog.my_new_key).
+
+## 5. Placeholder Rules
+
+Placeholders must match exactly between code and translation values.
+
+If code uses:
+- tr("status.opened", name=file_name)
+
+Then translation must contain:
+- "status.opened": "Opened: {name}"
+
+Common mistakes:
+- wrong placeholder name ({filename} vs {name})
+- missing placeholder
+- extra placeholder not passed by code
+
+## 6. Recommended Workflow for Translation Updates
+
+1. Implement UI text with tr("key") in code.
+2. Add key to en.json.
+3. Copy key to all language files.
+4. Run tests.
+5. Smoke test manually in app.
+
+Useful test command:
+- python -m pytest tests/unit/test_i18n.py -q
+
+Recommended additional checks when UI changed:
+- python -m pytest tests/unit/test_settings_dialog.py tests/unit/test_update_manager_ui.py tests/unit/test_startup_check.py -q
+
+## 7. Troubleshooting
+
+### Problem: Language changed in settings but UI language did not change
+
+Expected behavior:
+- language is applied after restart
+
+Check:
+- language value saved in config file
+- restart prompt appears after changing language
+- selected language JSON file exists and is valid
+
+### Problem: UI shows translation key text instead of real text
+
+Example shown in UI:
+- settings.title
+
+Cause:
+- key missing in selected language and missing in en.json fallback
+
+Fix:
+- add key to en.json
+- add key to selected language file
+
+### Problem: Text formatting errors
+
+Cause:
+- placeholder mismatch
+
+Fix:
+- compare tr(...) arguments in code with placeholders in translation string
+
+## 8. Best Practices
+
+- Keep en.json as complete source of truth.
+- Keep key names stable once released.
+- Group keys by feature area.
+- Prefer short, user-friendly text in UI.
+- Use formal, consistent tone per language.
+- Review non-Latin languages (RU/ZH) with a native speaker when possible.
+
+## 9. Quick Checklist
+
+When adding new text:
+- Add tr("new.key") in code
+- Add key in en.json
+- Add key in all other language files
+- Verify placeholders
+- Run i18n and impacted UI tests
+- Manual in-app check with at least one non-English language
