docs: add release & versioning policy (no post-tag pre-bump)#92
Merged
Conversation
Document the go-forward release process: master stays at the last shipped version, the version bump happens inside the release PR, and hotfixes branch off master. Codifies the lesson from the v0.9.1 Wayland-crash hotfix, where a post-tag pre-bump had stranded master ahead of the released line and forced an awkward version downgrade-merge. Takes effect from the next release. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Adds a Release & versioning section to AGENTS.md so the process is written down somewhere durable (it wasn't).
The policy, going forward from the next release:
This codifies the lesson from the v0.9.1 hotfix, where a prior post-tag pre-bump stranded master ahead of the released line and forced a version downgrade-merge. Docs-only; no behavior change.
