## Versions

The current edition of the framework document is **[setlist.md](setlist.md)** with its two companion files, [setlist-operations.md](setlist-operations.md) and [setlist-changelog.md](setlist-changelog.md) (edition v1.23, the claims edition; the version lives inside each file). You do not need to read it to start; Part 1 in `setlist.md` and Part 10 in `setlist-operations.md` are the short way in. The edition version counts the protocol and moves when the document changes what a gate asks or what a close writes. The plugin version counts the binding (`.claude-plugin/plugin.json`, 2.15.0) and moves on every release of the tooling, edition turn or not. The plugin counter restarted at 1.0.0 when the plugin was renamed to `setlist`. So the releases 1.6.0 through 1.8.0 that the edition's changelog names belong to the pre-rename plugin, and a Setlist version below them is not a downgrade.

Without the plugin, the edition is three Markdown files read in order: `setlist.md` (the core, Parts 1 to 6), `setlist-operations.md` (Parts 7 to 10 and the appendices, the spec template among them) and `setlist-changelog.md` (what each edition changed).
