+# CI/CD Workflows - TEMPORARILY DISABLED
+
+## Status: 🔴 Disabled During Active Development
+
+The CI/CD workflows are currently disabled while we focus on core development.
+
+### Why Disabled?
+
+- The browser is in active development (v0.1.0-alpha)
+- Core UI features are still being implemented
+- Not ready for public releases yet
+- Avoiding failed builds during rapid iteration
+
+### What's Disabled?
+
+- `release.yml.disabled` - Automated builds and releases
+
+### When Will It Be Re-enabled?
+
+Once we reach a stable state with:
+- ✅ Core browsing functionality (DONE)
+- ⏳ Interactive link navigation
+- ⏳ Scrolling
+- ⏳ Back/forward navigation
+- ⏳ Basic bookmark/history support
+
+### To Re-enable
+
+Simply rename `release.yml.disabled` back to `release.yml`:
+```bash
+mv .github/workflows/release.yml.disabled .github/workflows/release.yml
+```
+
+### Current Development Focus
+
+See [STATUS.md](../../STATUS.md) for current development status and roadmap.
