# Versioning & Phases

We map **project phases** to **SemVer**:

- **Phase 0** → `0.0.1` (orientation & quality bar; no feature changes)
- **Phase 1** → `0.1.0` (correctness & hygiene foundations)
- **Phase 2** → `0.2.0` (docs/testing expansion, early UX fixes)
- ...

Rules:

- Use **SemVer**; phases bump the **minor** (except Phase 0 uses `0.0.1`).
- Patch bumps (`0.X.Y`) are reserved for small fixes within a phase.
- Tag releases and include short notes in `docs/RELEASE_NOTES_vX.Y.Z.md`.
