Created comprehensive staged workplan for enhancing release management
infrastructure with robust validation using the schema system.
**Critical Issues Identified**:
- setuptools-scm missing tag_regex configuration
- markitect --version returns 'unknown' instead of actual version
- CHANGELOG shows v0.9.0 (2025-11-14) but git tag never created
- No validation for CHANGELOG format or version-tag consistency
**Solution Approach**:
Create changelog-schema-v1.0.md to validate Keep a Changelog format,
demonstrating schema evolution in real-world use case.
**Staged Workplan**:
- Stage 1 (45 min): Critical fixes to unblock v0.10.0 release
- Stage 2 (2.5 hrs): CHANGELOG schema creation and validation
- Stage 3 (2 hrs): Release capability enhancements
- Stage 4 (optional): Schema system extensions
**Showcase Feature**: 'The release that validates itself'
- v0.10.0 uses its own schema system to validate its CHANGELOG
- Perfect demonstration of schema evolution practical value
**Next Version**: v0.10.0 (not v0.9.0)
- CHANGELOG already shows v0.9.0 as released
- Must maintain version history integrity
