+# MMD Maven releases
+
+Use **Actions > Publish to MMD Maven** on the MMD repository's default branch.
+Select a version listed in `releases.json` and run **check-only** first. Once it
+passes, run **publish** for that same version.
+
+This workflow publishes the exact main, sources and Javadoc jars retained by the
+successful CI run, plus a POM. It checks the archive and jar checksums and
+compares the main jar with the existing CurseForge download. It does not build
+the mod, move tags, change versions or upload to CurseForge. An identical Maven
+release is a no-op; different bytes or a partial upload need investigation.
+
+To add a release, record its CurseForge file ID, CI run, source commit, artifact
+ID and archive checksum in `releases.json` after checking the public download.
+Include its tag when one exists. The CI archive must still be available.
