+## v0.25.5 — MCP catalog release hygiene

+- Synced `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` to the package release version so strict
+  self-test passes before publishing the MCP catalog.
+- Added the missing output-contract banner to `new-model`.

 ## Environment targets
 - **Local dev:** `npm install -g` + PM2 `rdc-skills-mcp` process
 - **Remote MCP:** PM2 on Vultr `64.237.54.189` (auto-deploys via webhook on push to master)
 - **Production:** N/A (npm global install is the distribution mechanism)
 
+## MCP release gate
+
+Every release that changes skills, manifests, commands, guides, MCP server code,
+or installer behavior must prove the running MCP serves the released package:
+
+1. `npm view @lifeaitools/rdc-skills version` equals `package.json`.
+2. Global install is updated with `npm install -g @lifeaitools/rdc-skills@latest`.
+3. PM2 `rdc-skills-mcp` is restarted locally after the global install.
+4. Local `/health` reports the released version and expected skill count.
+5. Public `/health` at `https://rdc-skills.regendevcorp.com/health` reports the released version and expected skill count.
+6. `REMOTE=1 node tests/mcp.test.mjs` and `REMOTE=1 node tests/curl-surface.test.mjs` pass against the public endpoint.
+
+The installer also performs this update path in `scripts/install-rdc-skills.js`:
+it registers the MCP endpoint, syncs the global MCP package when PM2 is serving
+from npm, restarts `rdc-skills-mcp`, and verifies the live catalog freshness.
+
 ## Version policy
 - patch: new skill, skill fix, manifest update
