Require explicit release:* label on every PR in AGENTS.md#51
Merged
Conversation
The release workflow defaults to a patch bump when a merged PR has no release:* label. Docs-only PR #45 and test-only PR #50 were both opened unlabeled because AGENTS.md only mentioned the labels exist without instructing agents to apply one. #45 likely cut an empty patch release; #50 needed retroactive labeling before merge. Replace the passing mention with a short rubric covering when to use skip / patch / minor / major, and an explicit "before merge" deadline so future agents pick exactly one. https://claude.ai/code/session_01WjHPSobuzrRkjwUgjAJWMk
