-| Version | **v1.77.0-beta.4** everywhere (manifest, const.py, package.json, package-lock in both places, CARD_VERSION in the card and the editor runtime) |
-| Current local cycle | **Beta v1.77.0-beta.4 candidate** — prepared from the exact integrated `dev` tree; `main` stays on v1.76.0. User-visible: the redesigned Space and Device dialogs receive a focused polish pass — aligned switches and rows, readable numeric fields, compact one-row desktop footers and inline presence-radar settings that preserve their unsaved draft (#602). Internal: beta/full Validate no longer repeats per-diff mutants already exercised on review and merge candidates; the nightly full mutation registry remains unchanged (#601). |

+| Current local cycle | **Beta v1.77.0-beta.5 candidate** — prepared from the exact integrated `dev` tree; `main` stays on v1.76.0. User-visible: corrected furniture catalog artwork and Exercise placement (#606), and further dialog polish for the discard prompt, switches, room settings, colour controls and device fields (#603, #605). Internal: nightly mutation-gate shards now run as six bounded jobs and reject incomplete shard evidence (#604). |
 | Hidden Alpha Stage | #89 Stage 1 ships in v1.63.0-beta.1, #122 Stage 2 in v1.64.0 and #160 Stage 3 in v1.73.0-beta.1; #570 adds the Stage 4 designer handoff and #583 refines it on `dev`: only the building ambient shadow remains, door/gate volumes pivot on the selected host face without strokes, and devices/lock badges receive deterministic mutual collision correction while room labels remain passive below them. The same hidden `iso` view uses a fixed 0°/20° camera and scale-aware wall height 84, low screen-facing device/room/lock overlays without tethers or ground dots, neutral full-height window frames with blue glass, and bounded theme materials. Since #448 the experiment is enabled only through the single indefinite browser-local `hp_alpha` gate; it is not expiring and has no per-stage key. Flat remains default; editors, `houseplan-space-card`, floor effects, stored coordinates and HA actions remain unchanged. Stage 4 stays internal and is absent from public changelog/user documentation. |
 | Workflow | Superseded 2026-08-12: the pre-1.62 rule of "local edits without tests or commits" is **dead** — since release 1.62 every product change follows `PROCESS.md` (issue in `S5-ready`+, branch `issue/<NN>-slug`, trailers on every commit, review pipeline; `AGENTS.md` is the summary). Release mechanics below remain current. A requested pre-release gets a production build plus the smallest targeted unit/smoke set covering the changed surfaces, one tested `dev` commit/tag and a GitHub Release with `prerelease=true`; `main` stays untouched. The complete local frontend/backend/smoke gate runs only before a stable release, after which `main` is fast-forwarded to the exact tested `dev` SHA and the stable release is produced by `release.yml` (`workflow_dispatch` on `main` with the tag) — the only publisher of installable assets since #540: gates on the exact SHA (Validate, Full Performance, E2E on the candidate commit), one build, `houseplan.zip` archived from the committed tree, `SHA256SUMS`, draft → publish → read-back verification; a release published by hand in the GitHub form is turned back into a draft and walked through the same path, and a re-dispatch on a public tag is a repair that adds only missing assets. Release bodies are short and bilingual (Russian first); every bullet links its GitHub issue (#NN) so the #328 rules stay machine-checkable. A STABLE body aggregates the changelog since the PREVIOUS STABLE release (never since the last beta): features/fixes described across the line's beta changelogs must appear, while bugs that were introduced and fixed strictly inside the beta line (never shipped in any stable) are excluded — draft with `npm run release:notes -- <tag>`, curate by hand, then `npm run release:notes -- <tag> --verify` must pass. `Мелкие исправления и улучшения` / `Small fixes and improvements` is allowed only when the range really contains user-visible work not itemised in the body; a single-issue hotfix ships without it (the verifier enforces this). Every body ends with separate links to the Russian and English changelogs. Open or partially delivered issues are never presented as shipped. Telegram announcements are sent only for stable releases; beta and RC publication is silent. `docs/RELEASE-NOTES.md` is the current canonical body instance; `npm run release:prerelease -- <tag> --issues=… --yes` is the primary local publication path and the manual `Publish prerelease` workflow is its GitHub-only equivalent once present on `main`. Nothing is copied to the home instance by hand |
 | GitHub | https://github.com/Matysh/houseplan-card — [Issues](https://github.com/Matysh/houseplan-card/issues) are the canonical task records; their labels carry priority and workflow status (`PROCESS.md` §9). GitHub Projects is no longer used. `main` carries stable releases; pre-release tags may point directly at `dev`. Work lands on `dev` and is merged into `main` for a stable release, so `dev` is normally equal to or ahead of `main`, never behind.
