The current manifest stamped package.json's version into itself (9 lines),
so every RC/stable version bump made the committed artifact stale on every
open branch: lint failed until authors committed content-free regeneration
diffs, which also dragged the resources/skills-filtered update-roundtrip
matrix onto unrelated PRs. Cutting a release tag whose skills tree changed
had the same effect through release-mapping.json.
- current-manifest.json is now schema 2 and content-only; the generator no
longer reads package.json. Registry and mapping stay schema 1 so the
append-only released-history guard keeps its schema gate.
- The running build's version enters at the IPC boundary
(skills:freshnessInventory passes app.getVersion()) and threads through
the inventory to placement observation; current-revision placements are
labeled with it while historical revisions keep resolving through the
release mapping. The artifact loader and its cache stay content-only.
- verify tolerates a committed release mapping that is a byte-exact prefix
of the derived one when every missing trailing row's revisions equal the
current manifest (a just-cut tag over unchanged-since bytes); such rows
are provably redundant until the next real regeneration adds them.
Artifacts now change only when skills/ content changes.
