Versions

The current edition of the framework document is setlist.md with its two companion files, setlist-operations.md and 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).
