Release PR review:
✅ All 13 package.json files bumped consistently to 0.5.0
✅ CHANGELOG.md has structured [0.5.0] - 2026-05-07 entry covering the claimed 51 PRs
✅ Download URLs use correct tag format open-design-v0.5.0
✅ No runtime code changes — pure release metadata
Looks good to me; deferring final approval to maintainer sign-off + CI green.

@lefarcen I reviewed the 0.5.0 release metadata updates across the changed ranges: the new changelog entry and reference links, the consistent version bumps across all 13 package manifests, and the green workspace/landing-page validation checks. No actionable findings from this pass—thanks for pulling this release together! 🎉

@lefarcen I reviewed the 0.5.0 release metadata changed ranges: the changelog entry/reference links and the package version bumps across the workspace. I found one small changelog link correction that should be safe to handle as non-blocking; thanks for keeping the release notes thorough and readable! 🎉

The three issue references here currently resolve through the new reference definitions added below, but #283, #275, and #390 are issues rather than PRs while their footnotes point to /pull/.... That sends readers to the wrong GitHub objects when they click the issue numbers in the release notes. Please either link only the fixing PR here (... ([#530])) or change the definitions for [#283], [#275], and [#390] to /issues/... so the issue links resolve correctly.

@lefarcen I rechecked the current 0.5.0 release head, including the package version bumps, the mac prebundle blake3-wasm runtime dependency change, and the changelog reference updates. The mac prebundle change looks consistent with the runtime install path, and all 13 package manifests are still at 0.5.0; the only remaining actionable item is the already-open unresolved thread on CHANGELOG.md line 90 / reference definitions for [#275], [#283], and [#390], where those issue references still point at /pull/... URLs instead of the issue URLs (or should be omitted in favor of [#530]). Thanks for continuing to tighten up the release notes and packaging fix! 🎉

@lefarcen I rechecked the current 0.5.0 release head, including the package version bumps, the mac prebundle blake3-wasm runtime dependency/externalization change, and the changelog reference definitions. The packaging update looks consistent with the assembled runtime install path, and I did not find additional code issues; the only remaining actionable item is still the already-open unresolved CHANGELOG.md thread for the [#275], [#283], and [#390] references, which currently resolve to /pull/... URLs even though those entries are cited as issues in the release notes. Please either switch those three definitions to /issues/... or drop the issue references in favor of the fixing PR [#530]. Thanks for continuing to polish the release notes and packaging lane! 🎉

@lefarcen I rechecked the current 0.5.0 release head across the changed ranges: the package version bumps are consistently at 0.5.0, and the changelog update otherwise matches the release metadata. The only actionable item I still see is the already-open unresolved CHANGELOG.md line 90 / reference-definition thread: [#275], [#283], and [#390] are issue numbers (confirmed by their issue records), but the new reference definitions still point them at /pull/... URLs; please either switch those three definitions to /issues/... or simplify the line to cite only the fixing PR [#530]. Thanks for continuing to polish this release pass! 🎉
The win build job was failing with `makensis is required to build the Windows installer; install NSIS or populate the electron-builder NSIS cache` because GitHub's windows-latest runner image no longer ships NSIS by default and `tools-pack`'s `resolveMakensisCommand` throws when it cannot find `makensis.exe`. The matching fix already exists in release-beta.yml (added in #768). Mirror that step into release-stable.yml so the stable release lane can build the win NSIS installer too. Workflow-only change. Does not affect the packaged app contents shipped from this commit (release artifacts are byte-identical to what release-beta produced from 4761906).
electron-builder's NSIS target does not produce a `.blockmap` file unless `differentialPackage: true` is configured (it is not in this project). The release-stable lane was unconditionally requiring, copying, and listing the blockmap, which made the win build job fail even after the installer was successfully produced. release-beta.yml already runs without expecting a blockmap, so align release-stable.yml with it: drop the blockmap variables, the existence check, the copy, and the summary mention. The win NSIS installer + sha256 + latest.yml are produced unchanged and match what release-beta has been shipping.

@lefarcen I re-reviewed the current 0.5.0 release head across the changed ranges: the new release-stable Windows lane adjustments line up with the existing beta workflow, and the package version bumps remain consistently at 0.5.0. The only actionable item I still see on this head is the already-open unresolved CHANGELOG.md link thread for [#275], [#283], and [#390], which are issue numbers but still point at /pull/... URLs in the new reference definitions; please either switch those three definitions to /issues/... or simplify the changelog line to cite only the fixing PR [#530]. Thanks for tightening up the 0.5.0 release pass! 🎉

51 PRs·36 contributors· ~1 day — Open Design 0.5.0 turns the corner from "render once" to "iterate forever": live-data dashboards as a first-class artifact category, Inspect mode for per-element style tuning, an accent-color theme system for the launcher, Critique Theater Phase 5, plus a new agent (Qoder), a new image provider (Nano Banana), Linux headless mode, and a long fix queue from 16 beta cycles. 🚀🔥 Highlights
