+#### CI/CD Pipeline (Gitea Actions)
+
+Automated release packages are created via Gitea Actions when a tag matching `v*` is pushed:
+
+**Workflow:** `.gitea/workflows/release.yml`
+
+**Trigger:** Push tag `vX.X.X` to repository
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Checkout code
+2. Setup PHP 8.3 with required extensions
+3. Install production Composer dependencies
+4. Compile translations (.po to .mo)
+5. Verify plugin version matches tag version
+6. Build release zip with proper WordPress structure
+7. Generate SHA256 checksums
+8. Verify package structure
+9. Extract changelog for release notes
+10. Create Gitea release with attachments
+
+**Required Secret:** `GITEA_TOKEN` - Personal access token with release permissions
+
+**Pre-release Detection:** Tags containing `-` (e.g., `v1.0.0-beta`) are marked as pre-release
+
+**To create a release:**
+
+```bash
+# Ensure version is updated in wp-fedistream.php (both header and constant)
+git checkout main
+git merge dev
+git tag -a v0.4.0 -m "Release v0.4.0"
+git push origin main --tags
+```
+
+The pipeline will automatically build and publish the release package.
