Release guardrails — what never to do by hand. Full procedure is the /release skill.

Release

The procedure lives in the /release skill (invoke it deliberately; it does not auto-load). These constraints apply regardless of whether that skill was invoked.

• release-prepare.yml is the only sanctioned path for bumping a version or creating a release tag. Do not edit version.properties or VERSION by hand, and do not create v* tags manually — validate-tag in release-tag.yml rejects anything not matching v<M.m.p>-(rc|beta)N.
• tools/release/bump.sh is the single source of truth for version logic. Its versionCode formula mirrors buildSrc/src/main/java/ProjectConfig.kt — the two must stay in sync.
• CI runs ./tools/release/bump.sh --mode=check on every PR (check-release-tooling in code-checks.yml). If you did touch version.properties or VERSION, run that locally first.
• All numeric version fields are bounded 0..99; the versionCode formula collapses at ≥100.
