Verchestra follows [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/).

The current source version is `0.0.0-qualification`. It is an internal qualification marker, not a stable package release and not a compatibility promise.

Before `1.0.0`, public versions may change interfaces, artifact schemas, and operational behavior when qualification evidence requires it. A `1.0.0` release requires the final acceptance decision described in [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md).

After `1.0.0`:

- Patch releases fix compatible defects.
- Minor releases add backward-compatible capabilities.
- Major releases document breaking changes and migration guidance.

Every release must have signed provenance, SBOM and license evidence, and release notes in [CHANGELOG.md](CHANGELOG.md).
