The python-build step runs the same guard whose output is the dist PyPI
uploads, so a NODE_OPTIONS preload in the workflow or job env could stub
its checks exactly as it could on the npm Publish line. It now starts
under env -u NODE_OPTIONS; the pin's exact text and semver-policy.md say
so. The pin test's if: always() edit matched the npm line's old text and
had become a no-op; it now matches the pinned line.

- The npm Publish step starts the guard under `env -u NODE_OPTIONS`, and the
pin's exact text carries it, so a workflow or job NODE_OPTIONS preload
cannot run inside the guard (preload-fakes-guard).
- The pin's shell/defaults ban and its test are gone: it defended only a
deliberate edit, which is review's job (suite-gate-structural-not-parsed),
and refused a harmless defaults.run.working-directory. A step-level shell
still fails the exact comparison (shell-ban-deliberate-only).
- docs/semver-policy.md states that the guard and pin stop accidental edits,
that the cleaned environment removes known variables rather than proving no
inherited one matters (env-denylist-overclaim), recommends a
required-reviewer environment for the npm job, and gives the first-release
note with the valid next versions.
- check-changelog-semver accepts `## [x.y.z] - YYYY-MM-DD` and
`## x.y.z - YYYY-MM-DD` beside the plain forms (changelog-first-entry).

release-after-suite.mjs now takes the run's git ref and, from one process, checks
the tag against the declared prefix and manifest version, runs the release-checks
suite, the semver policy check and the package's own tests, then releases. The
checks run without NODE_OPTIONS, NODE_TEST_*, or NODE_AUTH_TOKEN; only the release
action gets the token. The workflow's separate tag, semver and test steps are gone,
and so is the pin's continue-on-error/shell/defaults ban, which no release check
needs any more.

scripts/release-after-suite.mjs runs the release-checks suite and then the
release action (npm publish, or the Python sdist and wheel build that the PyPI
step uploads) from one process, and releases only if the suite passed. No step
condition can release what the suite did not pass, so the pin that read if:
conditions (status functions, multi-line if:, the leading-conjunct rule) is
deleted with its tests and docs. What remains compares each job's release steps
with their expected text exactly, less their if: line, and refuses
continue-on-error, shell and defaults in the workflow.

publish-packages.yml runs the suite in both jobs, after .NET setup on a full-depth
checkout and before any check or publish step; the three Unity release scripts run
it before the checker. A test reads each file and fails when the step is removed,
moved, or made non-fatal. The Caching Unity pin now needs a prefix declared once
whose exact tags hold the package's own manifest at the tag's version. No NUL byte
in the checker is a test. The policy records that releases run from a full clone.

The checker reads each package's tag prefix, changelog and assemblies directory
from scripts/release-packages.mjs and derives the release record from git tags.
A first release is the absence of any older tag in a checkout that holds other
tags; a malformed same-prefix tag, a checkout without tags and an unreadable
repository refuse. The measured set is every managed assembly (CLI header in
the PE bytes) tracked at the previous tag at any depth; an unbuilt one is a
break, a built assembly with no namesake is an addition.
Deleted with their branches, refusals and tests: --first-release, --api-new,
--tag-prefix, --changelog, --api-baseline-path and the workflow first-release
decision line. Any unknown option is now a usage error.

1.0.60 removed public API (CultInspectorAssetPath) under a patch bump; its
own changelog says "Breaking" and the version number lied. Operator ruling:
semver is policy, strictly, for every published package family.
docs/semver-policy.md states what counts as breaking per surface (managed
API, Unity inspector attributes, CultCache wire format/store compatibility,
CultNet protocol, native bridge exports), the 0.y.z pre-1.0 convention, tag
naming, and required changelog shape. Records the 1.0.60 scar as history;
does not renumber it.
scripts/check-changelog-semver.mjs is the mechanical check: refuses a
changelog "### Breaking" section under too small a bump, and refuses a
version that skips, reverses, or repeats the previous published tag. Skips
re-litigating a version that is already tagged (rebuilding immutable
history is not a release action). Wired into publish-packages.yml for the
four npm/PyPI packages, and into build-unity-package.ps1 (cultlib),
packages/cultmath/scripts/build-unity-package.ps1 (cultmath), and a new
scripts/verify-caching-unity-release.ps1 (caching.unity has no build script
of its own to hook into).
18 node:test cases cover the required table (breaking+major/minor/patch,
non-breaking, 0.y.z, skip, downgrade) plus CLI-level git-tag resolution.
Hand-mutated each rule (bump classification, pre-1.0 lane requirement,
breaking-heading detection, breaking early-return, already-published skip)
and confirmed each kill, then restored byte-exact. No mutation harness is
committed; CultLib has none today.

One distribution named cultcache-py carried three libraries. Rust and
TypeScript layer them as cultcache < cultnet < cultmesh; Python now does
the same, one package per layer, module names unchanged so every
`from cultmesh_py import ...` keeps working.
Two imports ran against that layering and are resolved by moving code to
where the dependency direction says it lives, not by adding a shim:
- cultnet_py.interop_peer imported the Verse/peer catalog, authority
lease, stream, and simulation-fact contracts from cultmesh_py. They are
wire contracts a bare peer has to speak without owning a node, which is
why cultnet-rs and cultnet-ts keep them in the net layer. They now live
in cultnet_py.cultmesh_contracts; cultmesh_py re-exports them.
- cultcache_py.benchmark imported cultnet_py. It measures framed CultNet
parse beside cache paths, so it and compare_csharp move to cultnet_py.
verify checks all three packages and moves to cultmesh_py.
The single 6,693-line test module is split by what each test touches: a
test using any cultmesh_py name lands in cultmesh-py, else cultnet_py in
cultnet-py, else cultcache-py. Each suite runs with only its layer and the
layers below on the path, so a test that reaches up fails to import
rather than quietly binding the packages back together. 11 / 53 / 78 =
the same 142.
Workflows install all three; the publish job is one matrix over the
three packages keyed by tag prefix. The TS test harnesses put all three
src directories on PYTHONPATH. cultcache-py bumps to 0.2.0 because it no
longer contains cultnet_py or cultmesh_py; the new packages start at
0.1.0. Nothing was ever published, so no PyPI consumer moves.
cultcache-py 11 tests, path: cultcache-py/src
cultnet-py 53 tests, path: + cultnet-py/src
cultmesh-py 78 tests, path: + cultmesh-py/src
python -m cultmesh_py.verify -> ok, all five checks
cultnet_py.interop_peer imports with cultmesh_py absent
Not run here: the cultnet-ts interop ring and cultcache-ts store matrix
need dotnet/kotlin peers; their PYTHONPATH change is four lines.

Rust consumers pin a CultLib revision through cargo git dependencies, which is
how Ghostlight, Epiphany, CodexConnector and Odin already consume the core
stack. npm and pip cannot take a package from a subdirectory of a git repo at
all, which is why the TypeScript and Python consumers vendored forks instead:
there was nothing else to depend on. This gives them a versioned artifact.
Tagging cultcache-ts-v* or cultcache-py-v* builds, tests and publishes. The tag
version must match the manifest version or the workflow refuses rather than
shipping a mislabelled artifact. PyPI uses trusted publishing, so no long-lived
token is stored; npm needs an NPM_TOKEN secret.
cultcache-ts is now @gamecult/cultcache-ts. The scope is not cosmetic: it makes
the package unambiguously org-owned on a public registry, and it is what lets
CultLib hold the name rather than racing for an unscoped one. CultLib's own
cultmesh-ts and cultnet-ts and their imports move with it; all three packages
typecheck and cultcache-ts passes 12 of 13 tests, the exception being the
cross-runtime store test that shells out to Python, which cannot run on this
machine because its Python has no msgpack.
Licensing was inconsistent with the repo. cultcache-py declared itself "Private
GameCult infrastructure" and cultcache-rs and cultmesh-rs declared nothing,
inside a repo whose LICENSE is MIT and whose every other package says MIT. All
three now say MIT. That was load-bearing here: a package that calls itself
private is not one to push to a public registry.
