+# Submitting MAUI Sherpa to the official Homebrew Cask
+
+This directory holds the reference cask used to publish **MAUI Sherpa** to the
+official [`Homebrew/homebrew-cask`](https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask)
+repository, so users can install with:
+
+```bash
+brew install --cask maui-sherpa
+```
+
+The [`Redth/homebrew-tap`](https://github.com/Redth/homebrew-tap) tap is kept as
+a fallback (and is the only channel that carries pre-release builds). It is
+auto-updated on every stable release by the `update-homebrew` job in
+`.github/workflows/build.yml`.
+
+## Why this project qualifies
+
+`brew audit --new --cask` enforces a notability bar and that the app passes
+Gatekeeper. MAUI Sherpa meets both:
+
+- **Notable**: well above the ~75-star / 30-fork / 30-watcher threshold.
+- **Signed + notarized + stapled**: the macOS app is hardened-runtime signed,
+  notarized with `notarytool`, and stapled by the `notarize-macos` job.
+- **Minimum macOS**: the app's supported minimum is macOS **Sequoia (15)** —
+  set via `SupportedOSPlatformVersion` in `MauiSherpa.MacOS.csproj` (the
+  `net10.0-macos` head) — so the cask declares `depends_on macos: :sequoia`.
+  Keep this in sync if the app's deployment target changes.
+
+## One-time submission steps
+
+1. Fork `Homebrew/homebrew-cask` (or let `brew bump-cask-pr` do it for you).
+2. Make sure `maui-sherpa.rb` in this folder matches the latest stable release
+   (version + sha256). The sha256 is for `MAUI-Sherpa.macos.zip`:
+
+   ```bash
+   VERSION=0.11.2
+   curl -fSL -o /tmp/MAUI-Sherpa.macos.zip \
+     "https://github.com/Redth/MAUI.Sherpa/releases/download/v${VERSION}/MAUI-Sherpa.macos.zip"
+   shasum -a 256 /tmp/MAUI-Sherpa.macos.zip
+   ```
+
+3. Validate locally before opening the PR:
+
+   ```bash
+   brew style packaging/homebrew-cask/maui-sherpa.rb
+   # Drop the file into a scratch tap to run the strict "new cask" audit:
+   brew tap-new redth/casktest --no-git
+   mkdir -p "$(brew --repository redth/casktest)/Casks/m"
+   cp packaging/homebrew-cask/maui-sherpa.rb \
+      "$(brew --repository redth/casktest)/Casks/m/maui-sherpa.rb"
+   brew audit --new --cask --online redth/casktest/maui-sherpa
+   brew untap redth/casktest   # cleanup
+   ```
+
+4. Copy the cask into your homebrew-cask fork at `Casks/m/maui-sherpa.rb`,
+   commit on a branch named `maui-sherpa`, and open a PR titled
+   `Add maui-sherpa <version>`.
+
+## After it's accepted
+
+- Future version bumps are handled automatically by Homebrew's BrewTestBot
+  (driven by the `livecheck` stanza) — no manual PRs needed.
+- Keep the `update-homebrew` job so the `Redth/homebrew-tap` fallback and
+  pre-release channel stay current.
+- The README points users at `brew install --cask maui-sherpa` with the tap as
+  a documented fallback.
