Release and Versioning¶

Release work for agentic-proteins depends on package metadata, tracked release notes, and the repository's commit conventions.

The release path is part of the product story because it determines how readers learn what changed and what stayed stable. This page should make package-local release mechanics understandable without separating them from repository rules.

Treat the operations pages for agentic-proteins as the package's explicit operating memory. They should make common tasks repeatable without relearning the workflow from logs or oral history.

Release Anchors¶

README.md
CHANGELOG.md
pyproject.toml

Versioning Anchors¶

version is resolved from Git tags through hatch-vcs in packages/agentic-proteins/pyproject.toml
release tags follow v* and publish workflows are triggered from those tags

Concrete Anchors¶

packages/agentic-proteins/pyproject.toml for package metadata
packages/agentic-proteins/README.md for local package framing
packages/agentic-proteins/tests for executable operational backstops

Use This Page When¶

you are installing, running, diagnosing, or releasing the package
you need repeatable operational anchors rather than architectural framing
you are responding to package behavior in local work, CI, or incident pressure

Decision Rule¶

Use Release and Versioning to decide whether a maintainer can repeat the package workflow from checked-in assets instead of memory. If a step works only because someone already knows the trick, the workflow is not documented clearly enough yet.

What This Page Answers¶

how agentic-proteins is installed, run, diagnosed, and released in practice
which checked-in files and tests anchor the operational story
where a maintainer should look first when the package behaves differently

Reviewer Lens¶

verify that setup, workflow, and release statements still match package metadata and current commands
check that operational guidance still points at real diagnostics and validation paths
confirm that maintainer advice still works under current local and CI expectations

Honesty Boundary¶

This page explains how agentic-proteins is expected to be operated, but it does not replace package metadata, actual runtime behavior, or validation in a real environment. A workflow is only trustworthy if a maintainer can still repeat it from the checked-in assets named here.

Next Checks¶

move to interfaces when the operational path depends on a specific surface contract
move to quality when the question becomes whether the workflow is sufficiently proven
move back to architecture when operational complexity suggests a structural problem

Purpose¶

This page ties package-local release mechanics to the wider repository release model.

Stability¶

Keep it aligned with the package metadata and current versioning configuration.
