Owner's call: 'a few of you asked how to chip in, so I put up a page'
reads as responsive/humble and implies traction, vs. asking for money.
Community-request framing fits Discord (talking to the folks who asked);
release-notes donation line stays broader-audience.

Owner's call: include the live web URLs and sequence the main promotion
(which deploys offband.app) BEFORE the release tag, so offband.app is up
and verified before the notes go public. Avoids a pointless second push
just to add URLs.
Restored offband.app in the platform list, changelog, and Discord link.

- Release notes: added a Support Offband donate section (offband.org/donate,
verified live), framed toward funding iOS.
- Discord: fully rewritten, richer per-feature copy + real links (download/
release, project site, donate). Was thin and link-less.
- Web handling: offband.app is NOT deployed (404) and untested, so pulled the
live web claim from the platform list, changelog, and Discord; replaced with
'browser version coming soon'. dev.offband.app works but is not a release URL.
Gate passes; no em-dashes in the new copy.

Marketing version 1.2.0 (Ben's call: minor bump for a storage-engine
migration + nav overhaul, not a patch). versionCode 61 (next after 60,
current on Play).
- pubspec 1.1.2-rc.3+60 -> 1.2.0+61
- CHANGELOG [1.2.0] section
- release-notes/1.2.0.md (GitHub release body)
- play/1.2.0.txt (498/500 chars)
- discord/1.2.0.md
Release-gate passes (all four texts present, play within limit). No
em-dashes in the new copy. Headlines: drift/SQLite storage migration
(auto-migrates existing data), new nav shell, cross-client GIF links.
First release cut end-to-end through the #312 pipeline.

The gate introduced in this PR correctly FAILED on its own PR in 8s:
pubspec is rc.3, which had a CHANGELOG section but no notes files. That
is the gate working exactly as intended, demonstrated live.
Fix is the work we needed regardless: author rc.3's three per-audience
notes. This also seeds dev so every future dev PR passes the gate (the
current version now has all four files), and the rc.3 backfill branch
will carry these to build the actual release.
DRAFTS for owner review — the prose is mine, the judgement is Ben's.
Play blurb is 403/500 chars.

Today a tag builds and signs an APK/AAB but creates no release and
attaches nothing. That is the same partial-release failure mode as
rc.2/rc.3 (Play-only, no changelog). This closes it.
release-signed.yml becomes a complete release pipeline off a v* tag:
gate -> release-notes gate (backstop; fails in seconds)
android -> signed APK + AAB, cert-verified (environment-gated)
windows -> zipped Release build
linux -> tarred bundle
release -> create GitHub release, body = release notes, attach all four
Security invariant preserved: only the android job references the
release-signing Environment, so only it receives the keystore. The
windows/linux/release jobs never see it. Still no pull_request trigger.
The release job runs ONLY after every build passes, so a signing
failure yields no release rather than an empty one. Published directly
because the notes were reviewed in the cut PR.
Four-file notes gate (.github/scripts/release-gate.sh), run on every PR
(release-gate.yml) and as job one of the tag workflow:
CHANGELOG.md section for the pubspec version
release-notes/<v>.md non-empty -> GitHub release body
play/<v>.txt non-empty, <=500 chars (Play limit)
discord/<v>.md non-empty
play and discord are human-pasted; CI validates, never sends. Any
missing/oversize file fails the build, so a noteless release (rc.2/rc.3)
is unmergeable.
Gate script lives in .github/scripts/ because /scripts is in
.git/info/exclude (would not commit). Verified locally: fail surfaces
all four problems at once, pass is clean, 500 passes, 501 fails.
Backfills the combined rc.2/rc.3 CHANGELOG entry the two versions
shipped without.
release-notes/, play/, discord/ seeded with README conventions.
No ref input needed: the rc.3 backfill branch will carry these workflow
files, so tagging that branch runs them at that commit.
