Pull request overview
Updates the v3 README to reflect the v3 Beta status and clearly communicate what is (and is not) covered by the beta stability guarantee, along with updated onboarding and feedback links.
Changes:
- Renames “v3 Alpha” README header to “Wails v3 Beta” and adds a “What Beta means” stability statement.
- Replaces the old “read mkdocs-website” getting-started text with a docs-site link and
wails3install/init commands. - Adds a “Beta scope” deferred-features section and a feedback section with project links.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

In `@v3/README.md`:
- Line 27: The README link in v3/README.md points to v3/STABILITY.md which does
not exist; either add the missing file named STABILITY.md under the v3 directory
containing the stability policy, or update the link in v3/README.md to point to
the actual existing stability policy file (e.g., ../STABILITY.md or correct
path). Ensure the chosen resolution uses the exact filename "STABILITY.md" and
that the link target matches the repository structure so the reference resolves.
- Around line 14-17: The README's fenced code block lacks a language identifier;
update the block that contains the commands "go install
github.com/wailsapp/wails/v3/cmd/wails3@latest" and "wails3 init -n myapp" to
include a shell language tag (e.g., change the opening ``` to ```bash or
```shell) so the commands in the wails3 install/init snippet render with proper
syntax highlighting.

Add language identifier to code block.
The fenced code block should specify a language (e.g., bash or shell) for proper syntax highlighting and better readability.

Fix missing v3/STABILITY.md target for the README link.
v3/README.md links to STABILITY.md, but v3/STABILITY.md is not present in the repository (link target is currently broken, so the stability policy reference can’t be resolved).
Run v3/README.md → STABILITY.md link target to a real existing file or add the missing v3/STABILITY.md with the referenced policy.

The CI failure in "Run Go Tests v3 (ubuntu-latest, 1.25)" → "Run tests (ubuntu) - GTK4 default" is unrelated to this PR — this change only updates The PR itself is clean and mergeable. Could you please review and merge when ready? This README update is the last documentation item needed on master for the beta readiness criteria. CC @leaanthony |
Summary
Updates
v3/README.mdfrom the placeholder "v3 Alpha" text to a proper Beta README that includes:v3/pkg/applicationContext
This is beta readiness criterion #6:
v3/README.mdmust have a Beta scope statement. The PR was prepared previously by Engineer - Mac on branchagent/engineer-mac/32d5ccadbut could not be pushed due to an invalid GH_TOKEN at the time (tracked in WAI-324). GH_TOKEN is now working, so this PR opens the change directly from the beta-release-manager agent.CC @leaanthony
