 # Releasing LambdaDB MCP
 
+## Release model
+
+Releases are trunk-based: `main` is the only long-lived branch and the default
+branch. Every change reaches `main` through a pull request; feature and fix pull
+requests are merged with **Squash and merge**. The organization ruleset
+`protect-main` requires a pull request with one approval (the `dev` team may
+bypass the approval) and blocks deletion and force pushes. There are no
+`develop`, release or hotfix branches; maintenance releases are cut from `main`,
+and anything merged into `main` ships in the next release.
+
+| Channel | Committed version | Published version | Trigger | Git tag | npm dist-tag |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Development | `X.Y.Z-dev.0` | `X.Y.Z-dev.N` (N ≥ 1, assigned by CI) | `main` push, explicitly enabled | None | dev |
+| Release candidate | `X.Y.Z-rc.N` | `X.Y.Z-rc.N` | Published GitHub prerelease `vX.Y.Z-rc.N` | `vX.Y.Z-rc.N` | rc |
+| Stable | `X.Y.Z` | `X.Y.Z` | Published GitHub release `vX.Y.Z` | `vX.Y.Z` | latest |
+
+Between releases, `main` carries the next version with the development
+placeholder `X.Y.Z-dev.0`; number 0 is never published. A release pull request
+sets the RC or stable version, and that exact merge commit on `main` is tagged.
+Published version, committed version and tag agree. Only these canonical forms
+are accepted, without leading zeroes or build suffixes. `package.json` and both
+root lockfile versions must match. MCP initialize reads its version from the
+installed package.json; there is no second version constant. The repository URL
+must identify this exact public GitHub repository.
+
+Change every version source at once with the version script. It keeps each
+file's formatting, accepts only committed forms (`X.Y.Z-dev.0`, `X.Y.Z-rc.N`,
+`X.Y.Z`) and fails unless all sources agree afterwards:
+
+```sh
+node scripts/version.mjs get               # print the committed version
+node scripts/version.mjs set 0.2.0-rc.1    # release pull request
+node scripts/version.mjs set 0.2.1-dev.0   # next development version
+```
+
+The `CI` workflow (`.github/workflows/publish.yaml`) selects one run mode:
+
+- Pull requests into `main` and manual runs: validation only, no credentials.
+- `main` push with `X.Y.Z-dev.0`: validation, then an automatic dev build (see
+  below).
+- `main` push with `X.Y.Z-rc.N` or `X.Y.Z` (a release pull request merge):
+  validation plus the publication job's release metadata, changelog, ancestry,
+  pack and installed-package checks, with no publication. Tag only after it
+  passes.
+- Published GitHub Release: the same checks against the tag, then publication of
+  its RC or stable version.
+
+After an RC or stable publication succeeds, the "Open next development version"
+workflow (`.github/workflows/next-dev-version.yaml`) opens a pull request that
+restores the placeholder: the same `X.Y.Z-dev.0` after an RC, or the next patch
+`X.Y.(Z+1)-dev.0` after a stable release. Change it with
+`node scripts/version.mjs set` if the next release is a minor or major version,
+then review and merge it. The branch is named after the release tag
+(`chore/next-dev-after-vX.Y.Z-rc.N`), so consecutive RCs each get their own pull
+request. Rerunning the workflow is safe: it reuses an existing branch and opens
+a pull request only when that branch has none in any state.
+Pull requests opened by GitHub Actions do not trigger CI, and `main` requires no
+status checks, so the workflow does not dispatch CI; run the `CI` workflow on the
+branch manually for checks before merging, and the `main` push runs the full
+checks when it merges. The workflow has `contents: write` and
+`pull-requests: write` and never publishes.
+
+The release records that follow, through "Historical bootstrap and 0.1.0
+status", are dated records from the earlier develop/main flow and are kept
+unchanged.

+2026-09-20 (KST). With it set, a reviewed `main` push whose committed version is

+still prepares and tests the dev artifact without a registry write. Do not cancel
+an in-progress registry write as rollback.
+
+The workflow checks out the exact push SHA and publishes `X.Y.Z-dev.N`, where N
+is the number of first-parent commits on `main` since the newest stable release
+tag (`vA.B.C`) reachable from that commit, or since the root commit when there is
+none. N is the same on every rerun of a commit, restarts at 1 after each stable
+release, and keeps increasing across the RCs of one version. Preparation fails
+unless `X.Y.Z` is newer than the newest stable tag, so a missed next-version
+change cannot publish a lower version, and fails for any committed dev version
+other than the `-dev.0` placeholder. Generated package/lock versions and
+`gitHead` (the source commit) exist only in the runner; no version commits, tags
+or GitHub Releases are created for dev builds. Disable force pushes/history
+rewrites; numbers can have gaps when pushes are superseded.
+
+The earlier develop flow numbered dev builds by all first-parent commits on
+`develop` (last published: `0.1.6-dev.21`). The trunk-based `main` starts at
+`0.2.0-dev.0`, so its dev builds sort above every earlier dev build and the next
+release is 0.2.0 unless a release pull request chooses otherwise.
+
+Remote `main` HEAD is checked before preparation and immediately before the
+write; a commit that is no longer the head of `main` is skipped. Versions older
+than the current channel are skipped. A version already published from the same
+commit and artifact is skipped as `already-published`; the same version from a
+different commit fails. All publication jobs share non-cancelling concurrency so
+registry writes do not race. A newer pending job can replace an older pending
+job; this does not promise a package for every rapid merge. Re-run an explicit
+release if it was superseded in the pending queue and still needs publication.
 
 ## Explicit rc/stable publication
 
-1. Prepare matching package/lock metadata and a dated
-   `## [VERSION] - YYYY-MM-DD` changelog entry on a release branch. Review into
-   main and retain validation/live-test status for the candidate.
-2. Ensure `publish.yaml` exists on the default branch (`main`). The dev push
-   path does not require that promotion, but GitHub Release handling does.
-3. Obtain authorization, tag the verified main commit as `vVERSION`, and publish
-   the GitHub Release with `prerelease: true` for rc or `false` for stable.
-   Draft releases do not publish. Do not create a dev GitHub Release.
+1. Open a release pull request into `main` that sets the version with
+   `node scripts/version.mjs set X.Y.Z-rc.N` (or `X.Y.Z`) and adds a dated
+   `## [VERSION] - YYYY-MM-DD` changelog entry. Retain validation/live-test
+   status for the candidate.
+2. Merge it. That `main` push runs the publication job in verification mode:
+   release metadata, changelog and ancestry checks, one pack and the
+   installed-package tests, with no publication. Do not merge other pull
+   requests until the release is tagged, or tag the release pull request's merge
+   commit explicitly.
+3. After verification passes, obtain authorization, tag that exact merge commit
+   on `main` as `vVERSION`, and publish the GitHub Release with
+   `prerelease: true` for rc or `false` for stable. Draft releases do not
+   publish. Do not create a dev GitHub Release.
 4. The workflow validates the release tag, package versions, prerelease flag,
    changelog and ancestry in origin/main; it packs/tests once and publishes the
    exact file to rc/latest with OIDC and provenance. A successful CI run alone
-   is not publication evidence. Verify npm and synchronize release changes into
-   develop with its next dev base via PR.
+   is not publication evidence. Verify npm.
+5. Review and merge the next development version pull request opened by the
+   "Open next development version" workflow (see the release model above).
+
+Address RC feedback in new pull requests into `main` and release the next RC
+number. Never reuse a published version or move its tag.
