 ### Added
 
 - **Routing single source of truth** — `skills/config/routing.json` (R0–R39 keyword rules with `must` / `mustAll` / `exclude` semantics). `master-route.ps1` now reads this file; hardcoded routing tables removed from scripts. Routing knowledge lives in one place.
-- **Routing regression benchmark** — `skills/tests/routing-benchmark.json` (162 bilingual cases, 40 quick) + `skills/scripts/test-routing.ps1` runner. Any routing change must keep the benchmark green.
+- **Routing regression benchmark** — `skills/tests/routing-benchmark.json` (163 bilingual cases, 40 quick) + `skills/scripts/test-routing.ps1` runner. Any routing change must keep the benchmark green.
 - **Routing keyword coverage expansion** (benchmark-driven): burp suite family, pcap/wireshark, root-detection/certificate-pinning, buffer overflow, `.so`/native/JNI, go binaries (中文), js-encrypt, webshell, privilege escalation, S3/object storage, memory dump, incident response, Bluetooth/BLE, USB, Unity/game reverse, security assessment, and more.
 - **Supply-chain pin gate** — `verify-routing-coherence.ps1` now fails on any auto-install capability lacking `pinnedVersion` / `pinnedCommit` / `pinPolicy` / asset hash. Pinned: frida-tools 14.10.4, pwntools 4.15.0, agent-browser 0.31.1, ida-pro-mcp @commit, SecLists/ProxyCat @commit, nuclei v3.9.0; winget sources annotated with `winget-latest` policy.
 - **Client-neutral integration contract** — routing, tests, manifests, and case workflows remain independent of Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, or any other client; client adapters are optional and must not define repository identity.

+# 发布 Checklist
+
+> 每次发版前逐项核对。版本事实源：VERSION 文件必须与 CHANGELOG.md 最新发布版本一致（CI ersion-check job 自动校验，不一致会红）。
+
+## 发版步骤
+
+1. [ ] 确认 CHANGELOG.md 的 [Unreleased] 段内容齐全（Keep a Changelog 分组：Added / Fixed / Security / Removed）
+2. [ ] 将 ## [Unreleased] 改为 ## [x.y.z] — YYYY-MM-DD，并把比较链接从 ...HEAD 更新到新 tag
+3. [ ] 同步更新 VERSION 文件为 x.y.z
+4. [ ] 里程碑版本（如 v1.0.0 / v1.1.0）同步更新 docs/RELEASE_NOTES_v<x.y.z>.md
+5. [ ] 打 tag：git tag v<x.y.z> + git push --tags
+6. [ ] 推送后确认 CI 全绿（routing 163 基准 + coherence + pin gate + version-check）
+
+## 元数据同步（发版顺手项）
+
+- 新增/删除 bootstrap 能力 → 同步 RULES.md / RULES_zh.md / skills/SKILL.md 的能力列表（以 skills/scripts/bootstrap-manifest.json 为唯一事实源，当前 24 项）
+- 新增 field-journal 条目 → 更新 skills/field-journal/_index.md 三处（场景分类 / 高频模式 / 实体倒排）与统计
+- 路由规则变更 → 只改 skills/config/routing.json（文档由生成脚本维护或至少保持一致）
+
+> 注：journal 条目底部不再手工维护 <!-- [进化统计] --> 累计注释（已于 2026-08-10 移除，数字无法可靠维护），项目计数以 _index.md 为准。
