SemVer and Version Sync

Single source of truth

Pick one:

Directory.Build.props <Version>
Or tag-only (CI injects) — then local dev shows 0.0.0-dev

Surfaces that must match

Assembly / InformationalVersion
UI footer ("v2.0.2")
Inno MyAppVersion
Updater comparison baseline
Git tag vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH
CHANGELOG section header

Release workflow

Bump version in props
Update CHANGELOG
Commit release: X.Y.Z — short reason
Tag vX.Y.Z and push tags
Verify Release assets sizes and notes

Pitfalls

UI hardcodes 2.0.2 while props still 2.0.1
Tag on wrong commit after amend/rebase
Prerelease tags without clear channel

Acceptance

Grep for old version finds nothing relevant
Updater considers equal versions "up to date"
