Summary

Follows the organization's document roles: version rules live only in VERSIONING, and a repository's release facts and procedure live in its release reference.

• Documentation/Architecture/VersioningAndRelease.md is retired. Its rules that the organization VERSIONING.md already states are replaced by links. Its release facts are now in Documentation/Reference/Release.md, organized by the release reference sections:
  • components and version sources;
  • compatibility surface;
  • dependencies and verified combinations;
  • derived metadata and drift checks;
  • candidate, acceptance and publication;
  • evidence reuse and invalidation;
  • entry points and artifact retention.
• The repository has no version rule that differs from the organization's, so it keeps no root VERSIONING.md.
• Every inbound link and index entry is updated.

Documentation only.

Validation

• Local link and anchor checks, packaged manual checks, and a search for the retired path.
• The repository's Python tests and its deterministic package build.
