# ADR-0011: Build and release via hello-pear-electron patterns

- **Status:** Superseded in primary path by [ADR-0013](./0013-bare-pear-only-runtime-and-distribution.md) (Bare/Pear standalone + pear stage)
- **Date:** 2026-07-30
- **Superseded:** 2026-07-30

## Context

Distribution must support multi-platform installs and P2P OTA updates without central app stores as a hard requirement. Originally Electron Forge was assumed.

## Decision (historical)

Copy **hello-pear-electron** patterns (Electron Forge makers, make-pear-app, etc.).

## Supersession

**Primary product distribution is now Bare/Pear-only** per [ADR-0013](./0013-bare-pear-only-runtime-and-distribution.md):

- `hello-pear-bare` + `bare-build --standalone` for single executables
- pear stage → seed → provision → multisig for OTA drives
- Electron Forge is **not** the default CI release path

Pear deploy layers (stage/provision/multisig) and `upgrade` pear links remain valid; only the **shell and binary packing** change.

## Consequences

See ADR-0013.

### Follow-ups

- [ ] Phase 5: bare-build matrix + pear stage (not Electron makers as primary)
