Publish so the installed app can be tested

Name: publish-for-testing
Author: itdevconsulting

This project is tested on the installed Linux/Windows service (and Docker/HA), not by leaving files only in the local workspace. The live box pulls from GitHub main.

When you finish a change the user needs to see or test:

Commit it.
Push it to origin/main in the same turn. Do not wait to be asked.
Tell the user the commit SHA and how to pick it up.

How they pick it up:

Existing service with the update helper: Home → Check for updates → Install update, then hard-refresh.
First time, or helper missing: re-run the GitHub installer, then hard-refresh.

Do not:

Leave testable UI/install/player changes unpushed.
Tell the user to hard-refresh a machine that still has the old GitHub build.
Stop at "I have not committed" after work they cannot otherwise try.

This overrides the default "do not push unless asked" habit for this repo. If push is blocked (auth, workflow scope, etc.), fix that or push without the blocked file and say so immediately.

Secrets, .idea/, and machine-local settings files still stay out of git.
