Copier copies from the latest tag; tags are the template's release channel. After generating,
run `uv lock`, then work through the generated `SETUP.md`.

Versions track what `copier update` does to a project generated from the previous tag, not the
size of the content change:

- **patch** — the update replays cleanly: no new questions, changes land inside existing files
- **minor** — the update adds surface: a new question or newly generated files
- **major** — the update needs manual work: a question renamed or removed, answer semantics
changed, or the file layout restructured
