+# Steam Workshop release guide
+
+This branch is the Steam Workshop edition of **Metamorph: Creative Menu**.
+
+The full standalone build remains on `main` and includes the bundled NoitaPatcher runtime. The Workshop edition intentionally does **not** request unrestricted API access and does **not** contain the bundled native NoitaPatcher DLL, because Noita Workshop does not support mods that require `request_no_api_restrictions="1"`, and the Workshop uploader only accepts its documented file types.
+
+## Files prepared for Workshop
+
+Inside `metamorph_creative_menu/`:
+
+- `mod.xml` — Workshop-safe metadata; no `request_no_api_restrictions`.
+- `workshop.xml` — Workshop title, tags and upload exclusions.
+- `workshop_preview_image.png` — 1280×720, 16:9 preview image.
+- `NoitaPatcher/` — intentionally absent from this branch.
+- `tests/`, `files/qa/`, `files/diagnostics/` and `README.txt` remain available in the repository where applicable for development/review, but are excluded by `workshop.xml` from the Steam upload.
+- Release runtime ships with `dev_mode = 0`.
+
+The Workshop validation workflow parses both XML files, checks the mod ID and release dev-mode flag, verifies that no DLL or unrestricted-API request is present, validates the actual PNG header/dimensions/size, simulates the upload exclusions and extension whitelist, scans the uploaded runtime for unrestricted Lua API usage, and runs the Workshop regression suite.
+
+## First publication
+
+1. Check out/download the `workshop` branch.
+2. If a full standalone MCM copy is already installed locally, **delete the old `Noita/mods/metamorph_creative_menu` folder first**. Do not copy the Workshop build over it: otherwise a stale `NoitaPatcher/noitapatcher.dll` can remain on disk and invalidate the Workshop-only test.
+3. Copy the complete `metamorph_creative_menu` folder from the `workshop` branch into `Noita/mods/`.
+4. Start Noita once and test the Workshop build with **Unsafe mods disabled**.
+5. Verify the menu opens with **TAB**. Smoke-test an item spawn, a wand/spell edit, perk apply/remove, weather, a supported World Rule, a normal transformation and **TAB return**.
+6. Do not use transformed-form death as a Workshop acceptance test: the hard serialized death handoff is a NoitaPatcher-powered standalone feature and is not guaranteed in this build.
+7. Close Noita.
+8. From the Noita installation directory run `workshop_upload.bat`, or run `noita_dev.exe -workshop_upload`.
+9. Select `metamorph_creative_menu` in the uploader and create the Workshop item.
+10. After the first upload, keep the generated `workshop_id.txt`. It identifies the existing Workshop item for future updates. Do not replace it with another item's ID.
+11. Open the new Steam Workshop page, add the full description/screenshots, then set visibility to Public when ready.
+
+## Suggested Workshop description
+
+**Metamorph: Creative Menu (MCM)** is a creative toolkit for Noita: edit wands and spells, spawn items and liquids, manage perks/effects, transform into supported creatures, possess existing creatures, control weather, use reversible World Rules and spawn a PLAYER-style companion.
+
+### Steam Workshop edition
+
+This Workshop build is intentionally compatible with Noita's Workshop restrictions. It does not bundle the native NoitaPatcher DLL and does not request unrestricted API access.
+
+Most normal menu/editor functionality remains available, but some advanced recovery, player-authority, exact entity serialization and other NoitaPatcher-powered paths are only available in the **Full Standalone Version**. Rules that require an unavailable native capability are presented as unsupported instead of pretending to work.
+
+**Full Standalone Version:**
+https://github.com/zerodancing/Metamorph-Creative-Menu/releases/tag/latest-build
+
+**Source / Issues:**
+https://github.com/zerodancing/Metamorph-Creative-Menu
+
+### Controls
+
+- **TAB** — open/close Creative Menu.
+- **TAB while transformed** — request return to human form through the normal native polymorph path.
+- **G** by default — possess a supported creature under the cursor.
+- LMB/RMB actions are shown in the menu for each catalog entry.
+
+### Entangled Worlds
+
+Entangled Worlds integration is experimental. For multiplayer, use the same MCM build on every peer and a compatible EW setup. If another enabled environment exposes a compatible NoitaPatcher bridge, MCM can reuse capabilities that are actually present, but the Workshop package itself does not include or require that native provider.
+
+## Updating the Workshop item
+
+For updates, work from the `workshop` branch, preserve the Workshop item's `workshop_id.txt`, replace the local Noita mod folder with the updated Workshop folder and run the uploader again. Keep `description=""` in `workshop.xml` if you want Steam's manually edited Workshop description to remain untouched by uploads.
+
+## Branch policy
+
+- `main` = full standalone GitHub build.
+- `workshop` = Steam Workshop-safe build.
+- Do not merge the Workshop removal of NoitaPatcher back into `main`.
+- When syncing future gameplay changes from `main` into `workshop`, re-check `mod.xml`, `workshop.xml`, the absence of `NoitaPatcher/`, `dev_mode = 0`, and test with Unsafe mods disabled before uploading.
