 - "Let's create a task" means create a GitHub issue using `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/task.md` as the body structure; do not create or edit GitHub Project items.
 - Issue-scoped task branches must use `github-login/issue-number-title-slug`, for example `crankshift/42-fix-telegram-album-cleanup`.
 - Work without an issue is allowed when the user chooses it; use `github-login/free-task-name` and never invent issue numbers.
+- Before creating a pull request, bump `package.json` version and update `CHANGELOG.md`; merged PRs trigger the release tag build from the package version.
 - GitHub Project board management is maintainer-owned and manual. Do not require board access or run `gh project` commands in the repo-local workflow.

 GitHub Actions runs the `Check` workflow on pull requests and pushes to `main`. It installs dependencies with `pnpm install --frozen-lockfile` on Node.js 24 and runs `pnpm run check`.
 
+Every pull request merged to `main` must update `package.json` version and `CHANGELOG.md` so the release tag workflow can create the next `vX.Y.Z` tag. Reusing an already-tagged package version will fail the release tag build.
+
 Maintainers should configure branch protection for `main` to require the `Check` workflow before merging.
