 `dist/cli.js` is a single self-contained ESM bundle with **no runtime dependencies** —
 the AWS SDK is bundled at build time, so installing it pulls nothing else in.
 
-> Publishing is being rolled out (#612). The `dev` tag is published on every merge to
-> `main` that touches this package; the first publish is a human bootstrap (#694), and
-> the `latest`-on-release path is not wired up yet. The Fargate runner image installs
-> the `dev`-tagged package (`ARG RUNNER_SYNCHRONISER_VERSION=dev`); the MicroVM still
-> builds the bundle from source and is not expected to change.
+### Versioning
+
+The package's version **tracks the product release version**, exactly like
+`@evident-ai/cli`. `latest` is published on a product release, at the release
+version. `dev` is published on every merge to `main` that touches this package or
+the root `package.json`, at `<root major>.<minor>.<patch+1>-dev.<sha>`, so `dev`
+stays strictly ahead of `latest`.
+
+The version committed in this package's `package.json` is **vestigial** — CI
+overwrites it before every publish. This is why `latest` jumped straight from
+`0.1.0` to `3.x.y`: the `0.1.x` line predates the policy, not a missing
+major-version story, and because npm publishes are immutable that jump is
+permanent.
+
+The two consumers still differ in how they get the binary: the Fargate runner
+image installs the published package
+(`ARG RUNNER_SYNCHRONISER_VERSION=dev`, resolved to a concrete version by the
+deploy workflow); the MicroVM still builds it from source and reads no npm
+version at all.

+`31` also guarantees local debris (`opencode.db`, `-wal`, `-shm`) is discarded, one `try` per path, at the classifier's single return point. Note `32` isn't purely "transient" — `recovered` shares it with `retryTransient` even though a `recovered` outcome already mutated S3.
+
+The probe is a `list`, not a `get`: S3 answers a wrong bucket name with `NoSuchBucket`, also a 404, so a `get`-based probe would read a misconfigured bucket as healthy and unlock recovery against it.
+
+#### The four `--on-unusable-replica` strategies
+
+- **`prune` (default)** — ≤1 guarded delete iff the newest L0's own bytes fail the LTX header check (`length >= 100` and magic `"LTX1"`) → `recovered`/`32`; declined (`targetHealthy`/`layoutMismatch`) or a failed delete (`recoveryFailed`) → `31`. **Header-only** check: a valid header with deeper corruption is judged sound and left alone — the real trade-off, and **not** "can destroy a healthy L0 object when an older one is corrupt" (false of merged `main`: the delete is unreachable unless the object's own bytes fail the check). `targetHealthy` also covers an unreadable object (absent evidence must not unlock a delete). Never escalates to `clear`, never prunes twice.
+- **`leave`** — zero S3 mutation → `31`. Cost is not just "prior history lost": `entrypoint.sh` also skips `litestream replicate` for the **whole boot**, so this boot's history is ephemeral too. Upside: replica left byte-intact for forensics, no crash loop.
+- **`clear`** — deletes every key under `<prefix>/opencode.db/` passing `isDeletableReplicaKey`; that guard, not the `list()` prefix, is the boundary (IAM grants `s3:DeleteObject*` bucket-wide). One `try` per key. A **partial** clear still reports `recovered`/`32`. Cost: all saved history, unconditionally.
+- **`crash`** — first in the switch, no S3 mutation even considered → `fatal(deliberate)`/`30` → `entrypoint.sh` `die`s → task replaced → **crash loop** until an operator intervenes.
+
+`EVIDENT_ON_UNUSABLE_REPLICA` is a `packages/runner-image` (entrypoint) variable translated into the flag above at boot — this CLI never reads it, so it has no row in this README's Configuration table below; see [runner-image's README](../runner-image/README.md#when-the-replica-is-unusable-evident_on_unusable_replica). An unrecognised value (including wrong casing, e.g. `Prune`) exits `2`, outside `entrypoint.sh`'s `0|10|20|30|31|32` allow-list — a typo **crash-loops the task on attempt 1** rather than falling back to `prune`, and also logs the misleading "credential persistence is DEGRADED" ERROR.

+`session-db-classify` is neither a domain outcome nor a predicate — it's a **third category**: a typed classification with four actionable answers (`0` ran, `32` retry, `31` unusable, `30` fatal), numbered above the two predicates' codes so they can't collide with a future one (`cli.ts:42-47`; see `diagnostics.ts`'s `sessionDbExitCode` for the single outcome → code mapping). The fail-safe direction inverts here: the two predicates above treat an unexpected code as the *safe* answer, but `entrypoint.sh` treats an unexpected code from `session-db-classify` as **fatal** (it `die`s) — correctly, because a boot that can't classify its own replica must not guess about deleting S3 objects.
