Release Package Configuration

The release workflow reads package metadata from apps.core.release.Package instances. Administrators can override the default behavior through the apps.core.Package model, which now exposes additional optional fields:

• Version path – relative path to the version file that should be updated during a build. When left blank the release process uses the repository root VERSION file.
• Dependencies path – relative path to the requirements file used while generating the temporary pyproject.toml. Defaults to requirements.txt when the field is empty.
• Test command – custom command executed when the build helper runs the test suite. The command is parsed with shlex.split and executed via subprocess.run. When unset, the workflow runs python manage.py test.

These settings allow packaging projects with non-standard layouts without modifying the release tooling. Every value is optional, so existing packages continue to behave exactly as before. To update the settings, edit the package record in the Django admin and provide the appropriate paths or command.
