The Chocolatey and WinGet workflows are dispatch-only. The SignPath Windows signing workflow dispatches them after it replaces the release assets with signed Windows binaries, so package checksums are computed from the final signed downloads. Manual dispatches require a release tag and use the tagged sources for packaging logic and release assets.

## Social crosspost secrets
43+
44+
The release pipeline dispatches `.github/workflows/crosspost.yml` after creating a release. Configure the following repository secrets in **GitHub → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions**.
45+
46+
### Bluesky
47+
48+
- `BLUESKY_IDENTIFIER` — your Bluesky handle, i.e. the last segment of your profile URL.
49+
Look at your profile URL:
50+
- `https://bsky.app/profile/yourname.bsky.social` → set to `yourname.bsky.social`
51+
- `https://bsky.app/profile/javadecompiler.org` → set to `javadecompiler.org`
52+
53+
In short: use the part that comes after `https://bsky.app/profile/`, whether it is a `.bsky.social` subdomain or a custom domain.
54+
- `BLUESKY_PASSWORD` (recommended: an app password, not your main account password)
55+
56+
Create an app password in Bluesky:
57+
58+
1. Open Bluesky settings.
59+
2. Go to **Privacy and Security → App Passwords**.
60+
3. Create an app password and store it in `BLUESKY_PASSWORD`.
61+
62+
API posting cost (as of 2026-05):
63+
64+
- Free (`$0`) on official Bluesky infrastructure.
65+
- No paid API tier is required for normal posting.
66+
- Subject to rate limits (for example, write-point quotas) documented here:
67+
- https://docs.bsky.app/docs/advanced-guides/rate-limits
68+
69+
### Mastodon
70+
71+
- `MASTODON_HOST` (for example `mastodon.social`)
72+
- `MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN`
73+
74+
Create a token in your Mastodon instance:
75+
76+
1. Open your account **Preferences → Development**.
77+
2. Create a new application with posting scope (`write:statuses`).
78+
3. Copy the generated access token to `MASTODON_ACCESS_TOKEN`.
79+
80+
API posting cost:
81+
82+
- Free (`$0`) from the Mastodon software/project perspective.
83+
- There is no central Mastodon API fee.
84+
- Potential indirect costs depend on where you post:
85+
- public instance: usually free (`$0`) unless that instance has its own policy
86+
- self-hosted instance: you pay your own server/hosting costs
87+
- Official API docs:
88+
- https://docs.joinmastodon.org/client/intro/
89+
- https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/
90+
91+
### Dev.to
92+
93+
- `DEVTO_API_KEY`
94+
95+
Get it from Dev.to:
96+
97+
1. Open https://dev.to/settings/extensions
98+
2. In **DEV API Keys**, create or copy your API key.
99+
3. Save it as `DEVTO_API_KEY`.
100+
101+
API posting cost:
102+
103+
- Free (`$0`) for standard API publishing.
104+
- No paid API tier is documented for normal article posting.
105+
- API usage is rate-limited; see official docs:
106+
- https://developers.forem.com/
107+
- https://developers.forem.com/api/v0
108+
109+
### GitHub token for downstream workflow dispatch
110+
111+
- `PAT_TOKEN`
112+
113+
This token is used by `release.yml` to dispatch downstream workflows (`rewrite-release-notes.yml` and `crosspost.yml`) after release creation.
114+
115+
1. Create a personal access token for a maintainer account.
116+
2. Ensure it can run workflows in this repository (for classic tokens, include `repo` and `workflow` scopes).
117+
3. Save it as `PAT_TOKEN` in repository Actions secrets.
