 | Version | **v1.62.0-beta.8** everywhere (manifest, const.py, package.json, CARD_VERSION) — prerelease candidate |
-| Current local cycle | v1.62.0-beta.8 combines Window / Door / Gate placement under the Opening sub-menu, renders the full 50%-opacity placement preview over physical walls, fixes first-click editor closing and incorporates the agreed beta.7 recursive code-review hardening. Issues #89 and #103 remain specification/backlog-only. |

+| Hidden Labs Stage | #89 Stage 1 implements a fixed near-top orthographic volumetric View behind the expiring `iso` Labs flag. Flat remains default; editors and `houseplan-space-card` remain flat; all existing floor live effects and HA actions are preserved. This is internal, not a released/public feature. |
 | Workflow | Owner's rule since 2026-08-07: ordinary fixes/features are made **locally, without tests and without commits**. 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 GitHub Release uses `prerelease=false`. Release bodies are short and bilingual (Russian first): only significant user changes get individual bullets, while minor/code-only work is grouped as `Мелкие исправления и улучшения` / `Small fixes and improvements`; every body ends with separate links to the Russian and English changelogs. Detailed RU/EN changelog bullets may link the corresponding closed GitHub Issues; 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 and the linked [Project v2](https://github.com/users/Matysh/projects/1) is the canonical priority/status view; both must stay current. `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. Push via SSH key `ha_jb` (remote git@github.com:…); API releases via the fine-grained PAT in `~/.git-credentials` (Contents R/W, issued 2026-07-23) |
 | CI | Prerelease publication requires a green exact-SHA Validate: frontend/backend, smoke (including the #73 rAF frame sampler), golden, HACS/Hassfest and a short absolute-ceiling performance smoke. Obsolete same-ref Validate runs are cancelled. Full seven-sample base/candidate performance moved to `performance.yml` (`main` push, weekly, manual); stable release assets fail closed unless Validate and Full Performance are green for the exact tagged SHA and the stable-only CDP compositor screencast finds no empty/black presented frame. |
