 4. **Release version policy:** normal PRs do not manually bump package/plugin versions. `semantic-release` determines the next stable SemVer from Conventional Commits on `main`, and `scripts/sync-release-version.js` owns distribution-version synchronization. Skill frontmatter versions remain release metadata and must never exceed the package version's numeric base. Nested sub-skills (`<skill>/<sub>/SKILL.md`) inherit the parent skill's version and must always match it.
 5. **Distribution manifests are generated facts, not opinions:** if you add/remove/rename a canonical skill, update/sync every distribution that copies or lists it. Run `npm run plugin:sync`, `npm run test:consistency`, and `npm run test:plugin:openai` rather than updating only `.claude-plugin/plugin.json`.

 Deterministic mechanism tests prove the tested hook/plugin contract; they do **not** prove a real host loaded it or that agents behave differently. For behavior:
 
 - `node behavioral-evals/run.js run --engine opencode` (or `--engine claude`) — on-demand, token-costing.
+- The weekly `behavioral-evals.yml` workflow always validates case structure and runs live cases only when its runner has the Claude CLI.
 - `node benchmarks/run.js scaffold <scenario>` → run both variants → `record` with evidence logs.
 
 For a live-host enforcement claim, preserve a host/session artifact showing the mechanism was actually loaded and fired. Results are committed where the relevant evidence workflow requires it. A benchmark run without a recorded result is indistinguishable from one that never happened.

+## Runtime contract
+
+The release job uses the repository's primary Node runtime from the checked-in current-state policy: Node.js 24 today, with Node.js 22 retained as the minimum supported product runtime. The generated source-of-truth summary is [docs/repository-contract.md](docs/repository-contract.md).
+
+When changing Node versions, GitHub Action majors, or workflow triggers, run:
+
+```bash
+npm run docs:sync
+npm run test:repo-contract
+```
 
 ## Release flow
 
 A push to `main` runs the full reusable CI gate and then semantic-release. A manual `workflow_dispatch` run is available for a safe retry.

+Runtime and workflow claims are extracted from `package.json`, `.nvmrc`, `Dockerfile`, and active `.github/workflows/*.yml` rather than being independently maintained in prose.
+
+```bash
+npm run repo:contract          # human-readable current state

+The contract gate requires Node.js 22 or newer as the supported floor, requires the primary `.nvmrc` runtime to match Docker and active primary workflows, keeps an explicit Node 22 CI compatibility lane, rejects GitHub Action majors below the supported floor, preserves the weekly behavioral-eval schedule, and checks that the generated contract document is current.
