 - The version is `module.json`'s `version`. Each version is published **once** and must be newer than the last — bump it to publish a fix.
 - Your first publish of a key makes you its author; only the author can publish later versions, and a delisted key takes none.
+- **Every new version goes to testers first** (task 1003803, [ADR 0344](adr/0344-a-tester-is-a-project-that-opts-in-once.md) D2). A published version, first release or update, is recorded on the `tester` channel (`store_module_version_channels`, reason `new_version`), and the publish response says so as `channel`. A publish cannot name a channel, so there is no flag that sends an untested version to every project. Moving it to `general` is a separate, later step: the promotion gate (task 1003804).
 - The publish denylist applies (ADR 0098), plus a refusal of credential-named files (`.env*`, `*.pem`, `*.key`, `id_rsa`, …) anywhere in the module. The store re-checks every hash and the denylist itself.
 - Gate: Metic+ (`module.submit`) for now. This is not `bongos module submit`, which proposes a module *into* core.
 - **A how-to is required** ([ADR 0347](adr/0347-every-store-module-ships-a-how-to.md)). `modules/<key>/HOWTO.md` is what a buyer reads — the store shows it as the module's page — so it is written for the person who installs the module, not for an AI working inside it (that is `CLAUDE.md`). It is plain Markdown: any AI or person can write it. Publish refuses the version unless it has these five level-2 headings, in any order and any case, each with some text under it: `## What it does`, `## Install and enable`, `## How to use it` (with one worked example), `## Configuration` ("None." is fine) and `## Limits and known issues` ("None known." is fine). HTML comments don't count as text, so the scaffold's prompts must be replaced. The refusal names each failing section. The check is one function, `checkHowto` in `scripts/gds/module-artifact.js`; the CLI runs it before uploading and the store runs it again on upload, so a hand-built upload can't skip it. `bongos module check` reports it as advice only — an upstream submit is not gated by it. Install and update don't re-check it, so a version published before the gate still installs. The file travels in the tarball, so its hash pins it to the version. An optional `howto.artifactUrl` in `module.json` (an `https://` link on `claude.ai`) is shown as an extra, never graded.

 - Install never enables. Switch the module on from the hall's Modules tab.
 - **Every version's how-to is a page** (task 1004366). `GET /store/modules/:key/versions/:version/howto` reads the `HOWTO.md` from that version's own stored tarball, after the same hash check install runs, and returns it as text; the hall shows it at `/builders/modules?howto=<key>&version=<X.Y.Z>`, rendered through the hall's escaping markdown reader (`md-reader.js`) because the file is author-written. Any signed-in builder can read it without holding the module; a delisted module's how-to reads only for people who hold it. "Save as PDF" is the browser's own print, with a print sheet that keeps only the document. The optional `howto.artifactUrl` shows as "Also available as a Claude page". Install prints the link, and a Modules-tab row links it when the module on disk is a published store version. A version published before the gate has none and answers 404 `howto_missing`.
 - A module already on disk, in the instance's `modules/` or bundled with the core, is refused; moving one to a newer version is `update`. A module this core cannot mount is refused before download.
-- A delisted module cannot be acquired or downloaded. Channels are not checked yet: every version is general until the channel tasks land.
+- A delisted module cannot be acquired or downloaded. Channels are not checked yet: install and update hand out a version whatever its channel until task 1003805 lands.
 
 `bongos module update <key> [--version X.Y.Z]` moves an installed store module forward through the same three calls, so a paid module and a free one take one identical path, and a module you already hold is never charged again (`tests/module_update.mjs` fails if a price-conditional branch appears).
