 "title": "Build a local macOS package and smoke test it",
 "page_title": "How to build a local macOS package and smoke test it with Errand",
 "summary": "Produce ad-hoc signed Errand builds in release/ and run the smoke check for testing.",
 "who": "A developer or tester who changed the desktop client and needs a local installable build to check before a release.",
 "problem": "Testing packaging only through a public release is slow, and the signed release path is not meant for local experiments.",
 "outcome": "Local macOS artifacts are written to release/ and the smoke script reports on the packaged build.",
 "steps": [
  "Run `git clone https://github.com/runta-dev/errand.git` and `cd errand`, then run `npm ci`",
  "Run `npm run package`",
  "Run `npm run smoke`",
  "Open the artifacts in the `release/` folder and confirm the DMG and ZIP are present"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the runta-dev/errand repository, run npm ci, then npm run package and npm run smoke. Expected output: artifacts in the release/ directory and a passing smoke run. Verify that the DMG contents and blockmap are present before reporting success.",
