Tracks what actually landed while starting the installer plan, and corrects
the parts of the plan that the work proved wrong or stale.
Progress:
A Phase 0 status table at the top, so the plan says where it is rather
than needing a reader to reconstruct it from PR links.
Phase 0 item 1 (§5) now records the release workflow as built, including
its three deviations from link's copy — structural gates instead of build
gates, no bump commit and therefore no push to main, and overlay.toml as
the home for the declared protocol version. Plus the fixed tarball prefix
and why: the installer would otherwise have to parse the version it is
trying to read.
New §7.0 documents the overlay manifest as generated, and states plainly the
two things about it that carry weight: `protocol` is hand-maintained and has
to be (nothing in CI can derive it, which is exactly why §7.1's gate 1 has
something to compare), and `files` is what lets `doctor` distinguish
"operator edited a deployed file" from "the overlay moved on".
Corrections:
§2.6 the plugin's protocol version now has a home (overlay.toml), and
servuo-plugins now has a release workflow.
§7.2 the dispatch step is deliberately deferred to Phase 0 item 3.
§7.4 no longer "open risk" — the v3 cutover merged. The rule it motivated
(never hardcode a protocol version) is restated as permanent rather
than as a workaround for a mid-flight cutover.
§8 open question 4 (branch targeting) resolved: servuo-plugins#6 merged,
main == edge, everything targets main.
Version examples in §3, §5 and §7.1 said uo-link v3.x.y / 3.0.1, conflating
the release version with the protocol version. link is actually at v0.3.0 —
the two are independent, and the bundle names release versions, so an example
implying they track each other is actively misleading. Now uses the real
values (link 0.3.0, overlay 0.1.0, 30 overlay files).
