[Bug] version.txt reads 0.1.2 but no v0.1.2 tag exists #143

Description

@rocklambros

What is broken

version.txt reads 0.1.2 on both integration and main. The newest tag in the repository is v0.1.1, dated 2026-08-11. The bump to 0.1.2 landed on 2026-09-09 in #59 and was never tagged.

The repository also has no GitHub Releases at all. gh release list returns empty, so even v0.1.1 exists only as a tag.

Where

version.txt, git tags, GitHub Releases

What the specification says, and what happens instead

docs/spec/conformance.md says a deployment that advertises ACS-Core conformance is asserting that about itself, and tells a buyer to test the deployment against the requirements the way they would check any other vendor claim. Doing that requires naming the artifact that was tested.

A claim against "0.1.2" currently resolves to nothing. There is no tag, no release, and no commit a third party can name without reading version.txt history.

The v0.1.1 release commit deliberately decoupled the release version from the spec version, so version.txt moves on its own schedule while schema $id stays at v0.1.0. That decoupling is correct and it also removes the signal that used to make an untagged bump obvious.

Impact on implementers

A second implementer writing a conformance claim cannot state which release they built against. The contributors filing conformance evidence today (#109, #111, #113) are reporting against a tree that has no citable version.

Worth deciding alongside #99, which asks how release-branch versioning works now that sync_version.yml follows integration. A tagging rule and a branch rule are the same decision.
