v0.0.1 — Release Process Bootstrap

First dev tag — the start of the pre-launch v0.0.x development train. Establishes the tag-gated release process and the customer-facing stability contract. Scope is docs + tooling; no runtime feature ships under this tag. The public launch is a separate event (v0.1.0, target July 2026, #2919) that points at the banked changelog accumulated under the v0.0.x train.

What this tag establishes

• Tag-gated prod deploys — a dedicated prod branch is the Railway autodeploy trigger (api, api-eu, api-apac, web, www); the annotated tag is the audit trail. main → staging auto-deploys. (ADR-0008, #2922)
• Customer-facing Stability Contract — commitments for the REST API (/api/v1/*), MCP tool surface, plugin SDK, and semantic-layer wire format. (stability.mdx, #2920)
• /release flow — /ci + annotated tag + prod-branch advance + GitHub Release.
• Versioning rules — ADR-0008 (semver discipline, no pre-release tags, no release branches) + ADR-0009 (tag-organized roadmap).
• Pre-launch audit pass — /prod-audit + /www-audit + /docs-audit ran clean (0 CRITICAL); inline fixes for OTel metric export, backup self-verify, email retry, BYOT span, and env-doc gaps (#2949/#2948/#2957/#2962).

Deferred

• Slice 6 — bun test --parallel cutover (#2802), blocked on bun 1.4.0 GA. Internal CI tooling, zero customer impact; parked in Architecture Backlog.
