Cited GrowthDex tactics
- GitHub release latest badge points to the stable lineSet the GitHub latest-release badge intentionally so the stable train, not the loudest version number, becomes the default answer for cautious evaluators and upgraders.
- GitHub release notes categories match the upgrade jobConfigure GitHub release-note categories around upgrade questions like fixes, breaking changes, and migration steps so the release page helps an operator decide what to do next.
- GitHub release stays pre-release until the path is safeKeep a GitHub release on the pre-release track until install, migration, and rollback paths are safe enough for the broader audience instead of treating publication as the same thing as readiness.
