Versioning and releases

package.json is the authoritative source for the LAYER.systems package name and semantic version. The About app imports that metadata directly, so local and production builds display the same version.

Preparing a release

1. Run npm version patch, npm version minor, or npm version major from the repository root. This updates package.json and package-lock.json, creates the matching git commit, and creates a version tag.
2. Run npm run test and verify the version in the About app.
3. Push the commit and tag to publish the release.

The first tracked release is 1.0.0. Use semantic versioning for all subsequent releases: patch for backwards-compatible fixes, minor for backwards-compatible features, and major for breaking changes.
