Summary

Three related template-contract fixes surfaced while re-syncing ptr727/NxWitness (NxWitness#439).

1. Resolve#155 — keep .github/copilot-instructions.md carry-safe (Option 2: decouple)

The mandated whole-file verbatim carry embedded template-only assumptions that broke once carried into a conforming derived repo (whose only mandated AGENTS.md section is PR Review Etiquette):

  • Dropped the "what NOT to touch" / "files you must not touch" overstatements.
  • Removed the template-specific versioning paragraph (also clears the #release-model dangling anchor).
  • Replaced the pre-carry <owner>/<repo>/<N> blockquote with a clean runbook-purpose line (clears the #files-and-sections… dangling anchor).
  • Retargeted the staying-in-sync ref to an explicit upstream-template URL.

Every remaining local ../AGENTS.md# anchor now resolves only to the mandated #pr-review-etiquette.

2. Clarify versioning — remove the mandatory develop lead / post-release bump

version.json is now bumped only for functional changes, by maintainer instruction, not mechanically after a release. develop builds are always prereleases, so they need no artificial minor lead and there is no bump-version-X.Y PR or git checkout main -- version.json trick. Updated AGENTS.md Release Model and the README branching bullet.

3. Add a Known Downstream Projects catalog

New table in AGENTS.md Staying in Sync (NxWitness, PlexCleaner, Utilities, LanguageTags, ESPHome-NonRoot, VSCode-Server-DotNetCore, homeassistant-purpleair) with each repo's consumer model, plus the maintainer-facing direction to file heads-up issues downstream on contract changes — making the sync explicitly bidirectional. README points adopters to it and reinforces filing upstream issues.

Verification

  • markdownlint-cli2 clean on all three files.
  • Old mechanical-lead rules grep-clean (only the new negation bullet remains).
  • All files remain fully CRLF; new anchors resolve.

Resolves#155: keep .github/copilot-instructions.md self-contained so a
verbatim carry into a conforming derived repo leaves no dangling AGENTS.md
anchors or template-only claims (drop the pre-carry blockquote, retarget
non-mandated cross-refs, remove the template-specific versioning paragraph).
Replace the mandatory 'develop leads main by a minor' / post-release
bump-version policy with semantic, maintainer-driven version.json bumps;
develop builds are always prereleases so they need no artificial lead.
Add a Known Downstream Projects catalog to AGENTS.md so template-side
contract changes can be filed as heads-up issues downstream, and make the
upstream/downstream sync explicitly bidirectional.

Pull request overview

This PR updates the template's cross-cutting contract documentation so .github/copilot-instructions.md remains safe as a verbatim-carry artifact in derived repos, clarifies the intended versioning workflow, and adds a maintained catalog of downstream projects to make sync explicitly bidirectional.

Changes:

  • Decouples .github/copilot-instructions.md from non-mandated AGENTS.md anchors and retargets the upstream reference for derived repos.
  • Updates versioning guidance to be maintainer-driven (bump version.json only when functional changes warrant it; no mechanical post-release bump).
  • Adds a "Known Downstream Projects" table and references it from README to improve downstream notification on contract changes.

Updated AGENTS.md Release Model and the README branching bullet.
3. Add a Known Downstream Projects catalog
New table in AGENTS.md Staying in Sync (NxWitness, PlexCleaner, Utilities, LanguageTags, ESPHome-NonRoot, VSCode-Server-DotNetCore, homeassistant-purpleair) with each repo's consumer model, plus the maintainer-facing direction to file heads-up issues downstream on contract changes — making the sync explicitly bidirectional.

Summary
Three related template-contract fixes surfaced while re-syncing ptr727/NxWitness (NxWitness#439).
1. Resolve#155 — keep .github/copilot-instructions.md carry-safe (Option 2: decouple)
The mandated whole-file verbatim carry embedded template-only assumptions that broke once carried into a conforming derived repo (whose only mandated AGENTS.md section is PR Review Etiquette):
  • Dropped the "what NOT to touch" / "files you must not touch" overstatements.
  • Removed the template-specific versioning paragraph (also clears the #release-model dangling anchor).
  • Replaced the pre-carry <owner>/<repo>/<N> blockquote with a clean runbook-purpose line (clears the #files-and-sections… dangling anchor).
  • Retargeted the staying-in-sync ref to an explicit upstream-template URL.
Every remaining local ../AGENTS.md# anchor now resolves only to the mandated #pr-review-etiquette.
2. Clarify versioning — remove the mandatory develop lead / post-release bump
version.json is now bumped only for functional changes, by maintainer instruction, not mechanically after a release. develop builds are always prereleases, so they need no artificial minor lead and there is no bump-version-X.Y PR or git checkout main -- version.json trick. Updated AGENTS.md Release Model and the README branching bullet.
3. Add a Known Downstream Projects catalog
New table in AGENTS.md Staying in Sync (NxWitness, PlexCleaner, Utilities, LanguageTags, ESPHome-NonRoot, VSCode-Server-DotNetCore, homeassistant-purpleair) with each repo's consumer model, plus the maintainer-facing direction to file heads-up issues downstream on contract changes — making the sync explicitly bidirectional. README points adopters to it and reinforces filing upstream issues.
Verification
  • markdownlint-cli2 clean on all three files.
  • Old mechanical-lead rules grep-clean (only the new negation bullet remains).
  • All files remain fully CRLF; new anchors resolve.

Resolves#155: keep .github/copilot-instructions.md self-contained so a
verbatim carry into a conforming derived repo leaves no dangling AGENTS.md
anchors or template-only claims (drop the pre-carry blockquote, retarget
non-mandated cross-refs, remove the template-specific versioning paragraph).
Replace the mandatory 'develop leads main by a minor' / post-release
bump-version policy with semantic, maintainer-driven version.json bumps;
develop builds are always prereleases so they need no artificial lead.
Add a Known Downstream Projects catalog to AGENTS.md so template-side
contract changes can be filed as heads-up issues downstream, and make the
upstream/downstream sync explicitly bidirectional.

Pull request overview
This PR updates the template's cross-cutting contract documentation so .github/copilot-instructions.md remains safe as a verbatim-carry artifact in derived repos, clarifies the intended versioning workflow, and adds a maintained catalog of downstream projects to make sync explicitly bidirectional.
Changes:
  • Decouples .github/copilot-instructions.md from non-mandated AGENTS.md anchors and retargets the upstream reference for derived repos.
  • Updates versioning guidance to be maintainer-driven (bump version.json only when functional changes warrant it; no mechanical post-release bump).
  • Adds a "Known Downstream Projects" table and references it from README to improve downstream notification on contract changes.

Summary
Three related template-contract fixes surfaced while re-syncing ptr727/NxWitness (NxWitness#439).
1. Resolve#155 — keep .github/copilot-instructions.md carry-safe (Option 2: decouple)
The mandated whole-file verbatim carry embedded template-only assumptions that broke once carried into a conforming derived repo (whose only mandated AGENTS.md section is PR Review Etiquette):
  • Dropped the "what NOT to touch" / "files you must not touch" overstatements.
  • Removed the template-specific versioning paragraph (also clears the #release-model dangling anchor).
  • Replaced the pre-carry <owner>/<repo>/<N> blockquote with a clean runbook-purpose line (clears the #files-and-sections… dangling anchor).
  • Retargeted the staying-in-sync ref to an explicit upstream-template URL.
Every remaining local ../AGENTS.md# anchor now resolves only to the mandated #pr-review-etiquette.
2. Clarify versioning — remove the mandatory develop lead / post-release bump
version.json is now bumped only for functional changes, by maintainer instruction, not mechanically after a release. develop builds are always prereleases, so they need no artificial minor lead and there is no bump-version-X.Y PR or git checkout main -- version.json trick. Updated AGENTS.md Release Model and the README branching bullet.
3. Add a Known Downstream Projects catalog
New table in AGENTS.md Staying in Sync (NxWitness, PlexCleaner, Utilities, LanguageTags, ESPHome-NonRoot, VSCode-Server-DotNetCore, homeassistant-purpleair) with each repo's consumer model, plus the maintainer-facing direction to file heads-up issues downstream on contract changes — making the sync explicitly bidirectional. README points adopters to it and reinforces filing upstream issues.
Verification
  • markdownlint-cli2 clean on all three files.
  • Old mechanical-lead rules grep-clean (only the new negation bullet remains).
  • All files remain fully CRLF; new anchors resolve.

Pull request overview
This PR updates the template's cross-cutting contract documentation so .github/copilot-instructions.md remains safe as a verbatim-carry artifact in derived repos, clarifies the intended versioning workflow, and adds a maintained catalog of downstream projects to make sync explicitly bidirectional.
Changes:
  • Decouples .github/copilot-instructions.md from non-mandated AGENTS.md anchors and retargets the upstream reference for derived repos.
  • Updates versioning guidance to be maintainer-driven (bump version.json only when functional changes warrant it; no mechanical post-release bump).
  • Adds a "Known Downstream Projects" table and references it from README to improve downstream notification on contract changes.
