+The very first submission of `TheAbider.RackStack` to winget had to be
+done by hand -- `wingetcreate update` (the CI automation in `ci.yml`) only
 works once the package already exists in `microsoft/winget-pkgs`.
 
-`1.99.1/` contains the three ready-to-submit manifest files. After this
-first PR merges, every future release auto-submits via the ci.yml step.
+**That first submission has been made** with version 1.122.0:
+https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/403660
 
-## First submission — copy-paste PR
-
-1. Fork **https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs**.
-2. In your fork, create the path:
-   `manifests/t/TheAbider/RackStack/1.99.1/`
-3. Copy the three files from `1.99.1/` here into that folder:
-   - `TheAbider.RackStack.yaml` (version)
-   - `TheAbider.RackStack.installer.yaml` (installer)
-   - `TheAbider.RackStack.locale.en-US.yaml` (default locale)
-4. (Optional, on a Windows box) validate before submitting:
-   ```powershell
-   winget validate --manifest manifests\t\TheAbider\RackStack\1.99.1
-   ```
-5. Commit and open a PR against `microsoft/winget-pkgs`. Title it
-   `New package: TheAbider.RackStack version 1.99.1`.
-6. The winget-pkgs validation pipeline runs automatically (it installs
-   the package in a sandbox and checks the manifests). Once it's green
-   and a moderator approves, `winget install TheAbider.RackStack` goes
-   live.
-
-## After the first submission
-
-Don't hand-maintain these files going forward. The `ci.yml` release job
-runs `wingetcreate update TheAbider.RackStack ...` on every release,
-which regenerates the manifests from the winget-pkgs entry and opens the
-update PR automatically. This `1.99.1/` folder is kept only as a record
-of the initial submission.
+`1.122.0/` contains the three manifest files exactly as submitted, kept
+only as a record of the initial submission. Once the PR merges, every
+future release auto-submits via the ci.yml step -- do not hand-maintain
+these files.
 
 ## Notes on the manifest choices
 
-- **`InstallerType: portable`** — `RackStack.exe` is a standalone
+- **`InstallerType: portable`** -- `RackStack.exe` is a standalone
   ps2exe-compiled executable, not an installer. winget installs it as a
   portable package: it places the EXE and registers a PATH alias.
-- **`Commands: [rackstack]`** — so `rackstack` works from any shell
+- **`Commands: [rackstack]`** -- so `rackstack` works from any shell
   after install. The EXE auto-elevates itself when run.
-- **`InstallerSha256`** — must match the v1.99.1 `RackStack.exe`. If you
-  re-author for a later version, update the version, URL, SHA-256, and
-  `ReleaseDate` in all three files.
+- **`Platform: [Windows.Desktop]`** -- the winget 1.6 schema's Platform
+  enum only allows `Windows.Desktop` and `Windows.Universal`; there is
+  no `Windows.Server` value (an earlier draft of these manifests had one
+  and failed `winget validate`). winget itself runs fine on Windows
+  Server; the enum simply does not model it.
+- **`InstallerSha256`** -- must match the released `RackStack.exe` for
+  the manifest's version. If a manifest is ever re-authored by hand,
+  update the version, URL, SHA-256, and `ReleaseDate` in all three
+  files, then run `winget validate --manifest <folder>`.
+
+## Caveat: release retention vs. winget URLs
+
+The ci.yml retention step deletes the previous patch release within a
+minor when a new one publishes. The winget manifest for a version points
+at that version's release asset URL, so when the next patch ships, the
+current winget manifest's InstallerUrl goes dead until the auto-submitted
+update PR for the new version merges in winget-pkgs (moderation can take
+days). During that window `winget install TheAbider.RackStack` fails
+hash/download; installs recover as soon as the update PR merges.
