# v2.2

> Draft. Rename this file to match the tag actually cut from `main`.

## Summary

- Rename the integration branch `volatile` to `develop`; point the merge gate
  and CI/coverage badges at `develop`.
- Document the three-tier branch model (`develop` single-machine-proven → `main`
  multi-machine-proven → tags) in `docs/ci.md` and `docs/release.md`.
- Add `docs/testing.md`: the examples-vs-tests split, the test tiers, the
  per-session capability marker, and a generic description of the external
  multi-machine tier.
- Expand the example project README with a local smoke-test walkthrough and a
  two-machine note.

## Compatibility And Migration

- No code or CLI changes. Rename the integration branch
  `volatile` → `develop` and update the repository's default-branch, badge, and
  merge-gate settings to match its development/release policy.

## Validation

- `just lint`
- `just typecheck`
- `just test-unit`
- `just test-contract`
- `just docs`
- `just package`
- `just test-e2e-smoke`
