# ReleaseKit v0.9.0

ReleaseKit's maintained launchers and generated Go recovery commands now
prepare and run the release tool for the Go host when inherited `GOOS` and
`GOARCH` select another target. Release profiles still select the targets for
application builds.

## Launcher, delivery, and recovery fixes

- Local launchers and Woodpecker templates select the host before preparing
  tool dependencies or compiling the CLI. Module-based launchers invoke
  ReleaseKit by its full Go package path, so another registered tool named
  `releasekit` does not make the invocation ambiguous.
- Generated Go recovery commands select the host when run in a POSIX shell
  and find the Go executable through `PATH`. Recovery for API-only consumers
  preserves both wildcard and version-specific module replacements when
  relocating relative paths, fixing a panic after a failed publication.
- The manual hosted-page retry stops if fetching or checking out the tag fails,
  or if local edits remain. It checks the tagged checkout before downloading
  dependencies or building the CLI.

## Compatibility and upgrade

The module path remains `go.maximumdirect.net/releasekit` and the Go consumer
minimum remains 1.26.0. Public Go APIs, release profiles, and publication
record formats are unchanged.

Update copied launchers and CI templates to get the host and tool selection
fixes. Updating the module dependency alone does not update those files.
Configured product checks inherit the launcher's host target; if a check
needs an application target, set it explicitly in the check's `env` map
or command.
