Minion Template Version

Current version: 1.3.0-1.0.0

Version format for downstream repos: <base-template-version>-<downstream-version>

Example downstream version: 1.3.0-1.0.0

Downstream Onboarding Method

• Keep the initial template snapshot in .minions-template/.
• Use docs/downstream-onboarding-playbook.md and docs/export-manifest.md to perform the first controlled export into the live downstream repo.
• Treat INIT.md, MEMORY.md, docs/operator-onboarding-checklist.md, and minion-version.md as onboarding merge files, not blind copies.
• Commit the vendored snapshot and exported live files together so later upgrades have a stable comparison base.

Downstream Upgrade Method

• Keep the currently approved template snapshot in .minions-template/.
• During upgrade, stage the incoming template in a temporary path such as .minions-template.next/.
• PM owns the downstream merge/migration unless the Operator assigns another owner.
• Use docs/downstream-upgrade-playbook.md and docs/export-manifest.md to compare:
  • old vendored template
  • new vendored template
  • live downstream files
• Only update the base-template portion of minion-version.md after the live files and vendored snapshot both reflect the approved upgrade.
