+- **macOS install reliability carry-forward**: retained the 0.3.71 SIGKILL workaround for first-time users by documenting and reinforcing the `npm install --ignore-scripts` + `npm run --prefix node_modules/cowork-os setup` flow.
+- **Release workflow hardening**: ensured the macOS release job always creates or reopens the GitHub release as a draft before packaging so `electron-builder` can attach DMG/zip assets without immutable-release failures.
+- **Version alignment**: published metadata now identifies this release as `0.3.79` with the same installability and packaging reliability changes.

+### What’s new in 0.3.79
 
-- **Install reliability fix for first-run users**: `npm run --prefix node_modules/cowork-os setup` now skips lifecycle scripts during reinstall, preventing `electron-winstaller` from being SIGKILLed on some macOS machines.
-- **CLI-first install verification**: confirms the exact `/tmp/cowork-run` commands in this README for a fresh macOS install path.
-- **Version sync**: bumped to `0.3.78` so the fix is published and discoverable for npm and GitHub release users.
+- **0.3.71-style SIGKILL workaround carried forward**: the README macOS first-install flow (`npm install --ignore-scripts ...` then `npm run --prefix node_modules/cowork-os setup`) is now the officially documented path and includes retry/backoff handling for native setup SIGKILLs.
+- **Releaseability alignment**: this release includes the release workflow hardening that guarantees a draft release exists before Electron packaging, so desktop assets can be attached reliably on each tag.
+- **Version sync**: bumped to `0.3.79` so the fix is published for npm and GitHub releases.
 
 > **Status**: macOS desktop app + headless/server mode (Linux/VPS). Cross-platform desktop support planned.
