-**Current State:**
- Last write wins
- No version tracking
- No conflict detection
+### 8.1 Architecture (v1.7.0)
+
+**Plugin Distribution Components:**
+- `Plugin` model - Multi-platform plugin registry
+- `PluginVersion` model - Version tracking with files and checksums
+- `PluginInstallation` model - Installation tracking per site
+- `PluginDownload` model - Download analytics
+
+**Distribution Endpoints:**
+```
+GET  /api/plugins/igny8-wp-bridge/download/       - Download latest ZIP
+POST /api/plugins/igny8-wp-bridge/check-update/   - Check for updates
+GET  /api/plugins/igny8-wp-bridge/info/           - Plugin metadata
+POST /api/plugins/igny8-wp-bridge/register/       - Register installation
+POST /api/plugins/igny8-wp-bridge/health-check/   - Health monitoring
+```
+
+### 8.2 Auto-Update Mechanism
+
+**WordPress Side:**
+1. Plugin hooks into `pre_set_site_transient_update_plugins`
+2. Calls `/api/plugins/igny8-wp-bridge/check-update/` with current version
+3. Receives update info if newer version available
+4. WordPress displays update notification
+5. User clicks "Update Now" (or auto-update runs)
+6. WordPress downloads ZIP from `/download/` endpoint
+7. Installs and activates new version
+
+**IGNY8 Side:**
+1. Developer updates plugin source code
+2. Creates new `PluginVersion` in Django admin
+3. Changes status to "released"
+4. Signal automatically builds ZIP with checksums
+5. Files stored in `/plugins/wordpress/dist/`
+6. WordPress sites can now download/update
+
+### 8.3 Version History (Recent)
+
+| Version | Date | Changes |
+|---------|------|---------|
+| 1.3.3 | Jan 10, 2026 | Template design: Square image grid fixes, landscape positioning, direct styling for images without captions |
+| 1.3.2 | Jan 9, 2026 | Template rendering improvements, image layout enhancements |
+| 1.3.1 | Jan 9, 2026 | Plugin versioning updates |
+| 1.3.0 | Jan 8, 2026 | Distribution system release, auto-update mechanism |
+
+### 8.4 Security Features
+
+- **Signed URLs:** Download links expire after configurable time
+- **Checksums:** MD5 and SHA256 verification
+- **Rate Limiting:** Per IP/site download limits
+- **API Authentication:** Required for sensitive operations
+- **Version Verification:** WordPress validates plugin before update
+
+### 8.5 Monitoring
+
+**Installation Tracking:**
+- Total installations per version
+- Active installations by site
+- Version distribution analytics
+
+**Download Analytics:**
+- Download counts per version
+- Geographic distribution
+- Failed download attempts
+
+**Health Checks:**
+- Plugin health status per installation
+- Error reporting from WordPress sites
+- Version compatibility tracking

+- Django admin: Created v1.3.3 with changelog
+- Status changed to "released" → ZIP auto-generated
+- Verified download endpoint and file contents
+- Template changes tested on staging WordPress site
+
+**Lessons:**
+- CSS changes require thorough cross-browser testing
+- Image layout fixes need responsive design verification
+- Template changes should be tested with multiple content types
+
+### v1.3.2 Release (Jan 9, 2026)
+
+**Changes:**
+- Template rendering improvements
+- Image layout enhancements
+- Content section fixes

+- First use of automated packaging
+
+### Distribution System Milestones
+
+**v1.7.0 Infrastructure:**
+- ✅ Complete plugin distribution system
+- ✅ Multi-platform support architecture
+- ✅ Automated versioning and packaging
+- ✅ Security features (checksums, signed URLs)
+- ✅ Monitoring and analytics
+
+**Best Practices Established:**
+1. Always test download endpoint after release
+2. Verify ZIP contents match source
+3. Check version number in extracted files
+4. Test update notification in WordPress
+5. Monitor download analytics
+
+**Common Issues Resolved:**
+- ZIP generation timing → Now synchronous in signals
+- Checksum mismatches → Auto-calculated reliably
+- Version comparison → Semantic versioning logic fixed
+- File size tracking → Automatic and accurate
