Version Scheme

Version scheme

Authority: docs/cicd/RUNBOOK.md section 1, scripts/release_preflight.py (read_pins, pins_verdict), tests/test_release_preflight.py.

• Scheme: 1.108.N; a release is N + 1. Minor or major moves are a human decision with a stated reason (/release --minor|--major <reason>).
• Derivation, printed every time: latest tag git for-each-ref refs/tags --sort=-v:refname --format='%(refname:short) %(creatordate:iso-strict)' | head -1 must equal pyproject.toml's version. Unequal means a bump is already pending (refuse) or a tag is missing (the pipeline tags; see the runbook).
• Pin sites are ENUMERATED BY GREP for the old version (--include=*.json --include=*.toml --include=*.lock), never listed here: the list grew from two to seven and a listed copy was wrong each time it grew. git check-ignore every hit; a generated file is not a pin site. whatsnew.json is regenerated (current + entry), not edited.
• git tag <name> is DENIED in a session (the pipeline tags); the read form above is the one to use.
• uv.lock: only the name-scoped version = line; never uv lock to bump (a newer local uv rewrites platform markers; CLAUDE.md).
• The pre-flight is the authority on whether the pins agree: uv run python scripts/release_preflight.py --version X --pins-only.
