Security Policy

Supported Versions

This project follows Calendar Versioning (YYYY.MM.DD).

This repository is a GitHub template: a project starter, similar to what a create-* CLI would generate. Users start their own project from a release snapshot, so there is no single "running version" to patch centrally.

The versioning scheme carries an explicit compatibility contract:

  • Within a month (YYYY.MM.x): only hotfixes and security patches — no breaking changes. Rebasing your project onto a newer same-month release is safe.
  • Across months (YYYY.MMYYYY.MM+1): may include breaking changes. The upcoming release is tracked via an open PR merging dev into main, so changes are visible in advance.

Because each release is a clean git snapshot, users who started from an older release can always diff two releases to identify relevant fixes and cherry-pick them into their own project.

Branch Purpose
main Current stable release — receives hotfixes and security patches during the month
dev Next month's release in progress — new features and breaking changes, tracked via an open PR
