## Description

This project is a dynamic code delivery system and over-the-air update client for cross-platform mobile frameworks. It enables the distribution of JavaScript bundles and remote assets directly to devices, allowing updates to be applied without requiring a full application store release.

The system provides infrastructure for staged rollouts, A/B testing, and remote hotfix deployment by directing specific user segments or percentages to different code versions. It ensures stability through a client-side rollback manager that automatically reverts to a previous stable version if a new update causes the application to crash.

Additional capabilities include cryptographic public key signature verification to ensure bundle integrity and a deferred restart queue to prevent updates from interrupting critical user workflows. The project also provides tools for release metrics tracking, application health diagnosis, and the management of deployment keys across different environment channels.
