Research direction
Review the repository's existing CI workflow (e.g., .github/workflows) to understand current release process. Investigate if the app is packaged as an Electron app and if existing build tools (e.g., electron builder) can produce .deb packages. Look at issue comments for any prior discussion about preferred approach. Explore tools like aptly or reprepro for hosting a Debian repository.
