+  Joomla Extension Update Server XML
+  See: https://docs.joomla.org/Deploying_an_Update_Server
+
+  This file is the update server manifest for {{EXTENSION_NAME}}.
+  The Joomla installer polls this URL to check for new versions.
+
+  The manifest.xml in this repository must reference this file:
+    <updateservers>
+      <server type="extension" priority="1" name="{{EXTENSION_NAME}}">
+        https://git.mokoconsulting.tech/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoCassiopeia/raw/branch/main/update.xml
+      </server>
+      <server type="extension" priority="2" name="{{EXTENSION_NAME}}">
+        https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mokoconsulting-tech/MokoCassiopeia/main/update.xml
+      </server>
+    </updateservers>
+
+  When a new release is made, run `make release` or the release workflow to
+  prepend a new <update> entry to this file automatically.
