Overview​

This story establishes version management processes for framework packages, ensuring proper versioning, release processes, and compatibility tracking.

Goal​

Establish comprehensive version management processes for framework packages.

Tasks​

E6:S02:T01 – Define framework versioning strategy​

Status: ✅ COMPLETE (v0.6.2.1+3)
Input: Current framework packages, versioning policies
Deliverable: Framework versioning strategy document
Dependencies: None
Blocker: None

Approach:

  1. Analyze current framework versioning practices
  2. Define framework versioning strategy
  3. Establish version numbering conventions
  4. Document versioning policies

Key Deliverables:

  • ✅ Framework versioning strategy document: docs/architecture/standards-and-adrs/framework-versioning-strategy.md
  • ✅ Comprehensive strategy covering SemVer schema, version numbering conventions, version tracking, release processes, compatibility tracking, and best practices
  • ✅ Integration with Package Version Workflow (PVW) documented
  • ✅ Examples and use cases provided

E6:S02:T02 – Create framework release processes​

Status: ✅ COMPLETE (v0.6.2.2+1)
Input: Framework versioning strategy
Deliverable: Framework release process documentation
Dependencies: E6:S02:T01
Blocker: None

Approach:

  1. Design framework release workflows
  2. Create release process documentation
  3. Establish release criteria and gates
  4. Document release procedures

Key Deliverables:

  • ✅ Framework release process document: docs/architecture/standards-and-adrs/framework-release-process.md
  • ✅ Comprehensive release workflow covering all 13 RW steps
  • ✅ Pre-release checklist and validation procedures
  • ✅ Framework-specific release steps (Git tagging, distribution)
  • ✅ Release validation and troubleshooting guides
  • ✅ Integration with PVW and RW documented

E6:S02:T03 – Establish framework compatibility tracking​

Input: Framework versioning strategy
Deliverable: Framework compatibility tracking system
Dependencies: E6:S02:T01
Blocker: None

Approach:

  1. Define compatibility requirements
  2. Create compatibility tracking mechanisms
  3. Implement compatibility documentation
  4. Document compatibility policies

E6:S02:T04 – Design framework dependency architecture​

Status: ✅ COMPLETE (v0.6.2.1+2)
Input: Framework versioning strategy, current framework structure
Deliverable: Framework dependency architecture document
Dependencies: E6:S02:T01
Blocker: None

Approach:

  1. Analyze current framework consumption patterns (copy-paste)
  2. Design hybrid dependency architecture (Git submodules + CLI + package managers)
  3. Define dependency management strategies (Git submodules, subtrees, npm/pip packages)
  4. Create architecture decision record (ADR)
  5. Document dependency versioning and update mechanisms

Key Deliverables:

  • ✅ Framework dependency architecture document: docs/architecture/standards-and-adrs/framework-dependency-architecture.md
  • ✅ ADR for dependency management approach (included in architecture document)
  • ✅ Comparison of dependency strategies (Git submodules vs subtrees vs package managers)

E6:S02:T05 – Create framework version tagging strategy​

Status: ✅ COMPLETE (v0.6.2.5+1)
Input: Framework versioning strategy, dependency architecture
Deliverable: Framework version tagging policy and implementation
Dependencies: E6:S02:T01, E6:S02:T04
Blocker: None

Approach:

  1. Define semantic versioning strategy for frameworks (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH)
  2. Create Git tagging workflow for framework releases
  3. Establish tag naming conventions (e.g., framework-name-v2.0.0)

Key Deliverables:

  • ✅ Framework version tagging strategy document: docs/architecture/standards-and-adrs/framework-version-tagging-strategy.md
  • ✅ Tag naming conventions (project, framework, monorepo tags)
  • ✅ Tag message formats with required and optional fields
  • ✅ Tagging workflow (automatic and manual)
  • ✅ Tag distribution methods (Git submodules, subtrees, package managers, GitHub Releases)
  • ✅ Tag management and best practices
  • ✅ Tag examples and usage patterns
  1. Document tag-based versioning process
  2. Create automated tagging scripts

Key Deliverables:

  • Framework version tagging policy
  • Git tagging workflow documentation
  • Automated tagging scripts
