2026-08-03 — Software Product Essentials

Added the Software Product Essentials architecture framework to general-knowledge: shared shipping concerns (About/build info, debug dumps, automatic updates with Windows emphasis, distribution/installers, build pipeline, diagnostics) plus type-specific articles (libraries, GUI, CLI, TUI, games, services).

  • Hub: Software Product Essentials

  • How-tos: About/debug dump, Windows auto-updates, installer packaging; restored release/winget/package-registry pages referenced by DevCentr Publishing

  • Reference: App essentials checklist

  • Agent rules (fork + upstream) point local agents at these pages when building apps
