+## **Release checklist (offline distribution)**
+
+Before tagging a release or handing the tool to non-developers:
+
+1. `make test` — Vitest suite green
+2. `make dist` — verify `dist/` contains core JS, sample projects, `DIST_README.md`, `start-server.bat`, `start-server.sh`
+3. `make dist-zip` — archive builds (`timeline-svg-dist.zip` or `.tar.gz`)
+4. Smoke on Windows per `WINDOWS_USAGE.md` (double-click `start-server.bat`, load `example/` project)
+5. Smoke locally: `make serve` → open `http://localhost:8000`, export SVG from `my-project/`
+6. Confirm `example/` and `my-project/` `project.json` + CSV + `template-v2.svg` load without console errors
