The installer needs CI that reacts when a component publishes a release. Adds that as section 7, folded into version tracking because the bundle IS the compat matrix -- which closes the "where does the compat matrix live" gap section 7 previously left open. - 7.1 Bundle manifest: CI publishes an exact, protocol-checked combination of component versions; the installer resolves against it at run time and --bundle <tag> pins one. A link release regenerates JSON and leaves the installer binary untouched, so operators don't re-download the installer for a sidecar patch and the repo doesn't accumulate releases with identical code. Two compose-time gates: sidecar PROTOCOL_VERSION must equal the overlay manifest's declared version, and every asset's SHA256 must match. - 7.2 Triggers: each component's release job POSTs to the installer's workflow-dispatch endpoint (link's release.yml already declares workflow_dispatch and already holds a write:repository token), plus a nightly cron so a missed dispatch self-heals. repository_dispatch avoided -- support is uncertain on this Gitea version. - 7.3 Stale overlay: dispatch, don't wait. Components self-release on merge to their own main, so the release normally already exists. If main is ahead with *releasable* commits (docs:/chore: correctly cut nothing), fire that repo's workflow, compose from what exists now, warn loudly, and let the nightly fold in the result. Dispatching another repo's workflow is fine -- it still runs its own gates -- but polling it is not, since Gitea's dispatch endpoint returns no run handle. Bundle CI becomes a Phase 0 deliverable, since Phase 1 resolves what to install from the bundle. `update` now moves between checked combinations rather than two independently-latest artifacts.
