# v0.1.0 Release Polish — Summary
## Task Description
Prepared GUI Video Clipper for its initial `v0.1.0` tagged release. This was a polish/branding/release-prep pass — no new features, purely metadata, versioning infrastructure, an About dialog, licensing, README, and pushing to the remote repository with a clean git history.
## Changes Made
### Versioning Infrastructure (Task 1)
- Created `VERSION` file at project root (single source of truth: `0.1.0`)
- Created `scripts/bump-version.sh` that syncs VERSION → `package.json`, `Cargo.toml`, `tauri.conf.json`, and `Cargo.lock`
- Script handles leading `v`/`V`, trailing whitespace, and validates semver format
### Metadata Cleanup (Task 2)
- Replaced all placeholder/template values across the codebase:
- `productName`: "Video Clipper" → "GUI Video Clipper"
- `identifier`: "com.erikfredericks.tauri-app" → "xyz.cottongin.gui-video-clipper"
- `Cargo.toml` name/description/authors/lib.name
- `main.rs` crate reference: `tauri_app_lib` → `gui_video_clipper_lib`
- `index.html` title and SetupWizard body text
### Path Scrubbing (Task 3)
- Replaced 6 absolute paths containing personal username in 3 plan doc files with relative equivalents
### LICENSE (Task 4)
- Added MIT license file (copyright 2026 cottongin)
### README (Task 5)
- Full rewrite replacing stock Tauri template: features list, prerequisites, build instructions, architecture overview, contributing guide, license
### About Dialog (Task 6)
- New `AboutDialog.svelte` component showing app icon, title, version (via `getVersion()`), author, license, repo link
- Three triggers: toolbar ℹ button, ⌘/ shortcut, clickable version label in status bar
- Wired into `App.svelte` and `StatusBar.svelte`
### Git History Scrub & Release (Tasks 7-8)
- Committed all untracked spec/plan docs
- Ran `git-filter-repo --replace-text` in two passes:
1. Path/identifier replacements (com.erikfredericks.tauri-app → xyz.cottongin.gui-video-clipper, absolute paths → empty)
2. Bare username replacement (erikfredericks → REDACTED_USERNAME)
- Final verification: 0 matches for "erikfredericks" across all 49 commits
- Added remote: `git@code.cottongin.xyz:cottongin/gui-video-clipper.git`
- Tagged `v0.1.0` and pushed to `origin/master`
## Lessons Learned
- `git-filter-repo --replace-text` is clean and fast but needs multiple passes when replacements include the target string as documentation (meta-references in spec/plan docs survive the first pass)
- The branch was `master` (from initial scaffold), not `main` — plan assumed `main`
- `npm pkg set version=X --json` emits a JSON parse error on some npm versions before the fallback succeeds — harmless but noisy
- Pre-existing `vite.config.ts` type errors cause `npm run check` to exit non-zero; unrelated to this work
## Follow-Up Items
- Fix pre-existing `vite.config.ts` type errors so `npm run check` passes clean
- Consider renaming `master` → `main` if preferred
- Future: CI/CD pipeline, `.dmg` packaging, changelog generation
