Define Time module release process and versioning conventions #101

Open

Description

What

Define and document the release procedure for the inc_time module: how to cut a release, how to increment the version in MODULE.bazel, and how to verify release readiness before tagging.

Background

The inc_time module currently has no documented release procedure. As the module progresses toward S-CORE v1.0, the team needs a clear, agreed process covering:

  • which versioning scheme to use and when to bump major / minor / patch
  • what CI gates must be green before a release is tagged
  • how to create a GitHub Release and tag
  • what to include in release notes / changelog
  • API and ABI compatibility expectations between releases
  • who must give Committer sign-off and through which GitHub mechanism

Acceptance criteria

  • A release process document is authored (e.g. docs/release/release_process.rst or RELEASING.md)
  • The document specifies the versioning scheme (e.g. semantic versioning) and rules for incrementing major / minor / patch
  • The document lists the minimum CI gate requirements that must be green before a release tag is created
  • The document specifies the required approval (Committer sign-off) and the GitHub mechanism (PR review / release draft)
  • The document describes how breaking API changes are handled and communicated
  • The document is reachable from docs/index.rst or the repository README
