Releases

Protocol versions and publication posture

Releases preserve visible protocol change over time. This surface tracks the active draft posture, stable publication status, and public release continuity.

Draft protocol surface; no stable public release yet.

Active publication posture

Draft and stable releases remain explicitly separated

The protocol surface should distinguish clearly between active draft posture and stable public release posture. Those two states should not be blurred together.

Draft v0.1
Current draft
The active draft reference for the current protocol surface and release posture.
Open →
Stable release
Pending
A stable public release will be published once the protocol surface is ready for durable external citation.

Release history

Publication history should stay visible even when still early

Even before a stable public release exists, the publication surface should show the active draft record and make version posture legible.

Draft v0.1
Current working publication posture
Active draft reference aligned to the current public protocol model.

Publication discipline

Releases make protocol change visible and publicly referenceable

This surface exists to ensure protocol change remains visible, versioned, and citeable rather than buried inside silent implementation drift.

What this surface tracks
Visible draft posture, stable publication status, and release continuity across protocol versions.
What this surface prevents
Silent rule drift, ambiguous version posture, and publication theatre without identifiable release state.
