Step 7 of M314, the last one. Rule 22 — the old path comes out completely. ## A release stops building `desktop.yml` no longer triggers on `v*`, and its two `Publish release` steps are gone. `ci.yml` lost its tag trigger in step 6. So a tag now reaches exactly one lane: the new `release.yml`, which builds nothing. That is not a simplification for its own sake. The merge to `main` already published everything a user can receive — `:latest` + `:<sha>`, both channel feeds, the updater manifest. A tag rebuilding that source produces identical artifacts under identical names and re-pushes `:<sha>` with different bytes, which rule 145 forbids even when they match. ## So what a release is FOR The changelog (note 3127 §5). Two halves to "what am I running", and the version answers only the first: which build is this (the footer, /api/config, the APK's versionName) and what is in it that was not in the one I ran last month (nothing, until now). `packaging/release-notes.sh` derives it from git rather than a hand-maintained CHANGELOG, which drifts into recording what someone MEANT to ship. Capped at 60 entries with the omitted count stated — the first dated release spans 181 commits since `v0.1.0`, and a truncated list that does not say it is truncated is a lie. It publishes through `publish-release.sh` rather than making its own API calls, for the create-or-PATCH-on-409 path: a fixed-tag release that only ever POSTs keeps whatever body its first run wrote, which is #2182, and reimplementing that correctly in a second place is how it comes back. ## Retired `MANIFEST_TAG` and the whole branch behind it. It let the manifest live on a `stable` pointer release while the bundles sat on a versioned one — a split step 3 removed when `stable` started holding its own bundles. Nothing had passed it since; a parameter that can only ever receive its own default is a branch nobody exercises and a comment that goes stale, and its stale text was still telling readers the installable builds live on the versioned releases. `desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml`'s version and `thoughtsync/__init__.py`'s both now say out loud that they are not shipped values. The Cargo one carries the history worth keeping: the old scheme took its base from that line, so `0.2.<run>` on dev outranked a bare `0.2.0` on main, and the remedy was "remember to bump the minor before tagging" — documented in a comment, enforced nowhere. #2183 is what that looked like in the field. **That ritual is now formally dead**, and this is the deliberate act of killing it rather than a side effect. ## Still there on purpose `install.sh`'s transitional stable fallback. It cannot go until `main` has published to `stable` at least once, and that is gated on an operator request. Removing it now would break the DEFAULT install channel. #3147 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
