FLOCK PLATFORM — AUTOMATIC VERSIONING CONFIGURATION REPORT
================================================================================

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
--------------------
This report certifies the validation and configuration correction of the
dynamic versioning workflow for the Flock package (`flock-p2p`). We audited the
version resolution mechanism, added robust fallback and CLI configurations, and
verified version generation behaviors without modifying the Git history or changing
any existing tags.

2. ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS & RESOLUTION
-----------------------------------
- Development Build Suffixes (1.1.1.devN+g<hash>):
  * The current Git workspace has commits ahead of tag `v1.1.0`. By design,
    setuptools-scm evaluates the distance (1 commit) from the most recent tag
    (`v1.1.0`), guesses the next patch version (`1.1.1`), and appends a local dev
    marker `.dev1+g6391d4c4f`.
  * Official releases (e.g. tagged commits like `v1.2.0` or `v2.0.0` with 0 distance)
    will build as clean, exact tag versions (e.g. `1.2.0`, `2.0.0`) automatically.
  * Verified that local environment variable `SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION="1.1.0"`
    successfully builds clean `1.1.0` releases for verification.

- Version Flag CLI Arguments:
  * Previously, running `flock --version` launched the interactive dashboard TUI
    instead of printing the version and exiting.
  * We resolved this by direct CLI argument parsing inside the main entry point
    so that `--version` or `-v` prints the version immediately and exits with status 0.

3. FILES MODIFIED
-----------------
- pyproject.toml:
  * Added `fallback_version = "0.0.0.dev0"` to ensure robust package builds in cases
    where Git or tags are unavailable.
- src/flock/cli/main.py:
  * Handled `--version` and `-v` arguments in `main()` to print `__version__` and exit.

4. VALIDATION RESULTS
---------------------
- Simulated Release v1.1.0:
  * Built using `$env:SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION="1.1.0"; python -m build`
  * Package: `flock_p2p-1.1.0-py3-none-any.whl` and `flock_p2p-1.1.0.tar.gz`
  * Verification: `twine check dist/*` returned `PASSED`
  * Version queries:
    * `flock --version` prints `1.1.0`
    * `flock -v` prints `1.1.0`
    * `flock.__version__` resolves to `1.1.0`

- Untagged/Development builds:
  * Built package: `flock_p2p-1.1.1.dev1+g6391d4c4f.d20260725.whl` (correctly contains distance and commit hash)

5. CERTIFICATION
----------------
We certify that Flock now supports fully automated, tag-driven semantic versioning
and package publication. No manual version maintenance or version-bump file edits
are required for future releases.
