Document the develop-leads versioning policy#165
Merged
Conversation
develop leads main by a minor: after a develop -> main release, bump develop's minor (isolated bump-version-X.Y PR) so develop prereleases sort above main's stable. Maintenance promotions hold main's version. Added to AGENTS.md Release Model and a Versioning note in copilot-instructions. Propagated from ptr727/ProjectTemplate.

Pull request overview
Documents the repository’s develop vs main versioning policy (minor-version lead on develop, stable versions on main) so maintainers and automation follow a consistent release/promotion workflow aligned with the existing two-phase release model and NBGV usage.
Changes:
- Added an explicit “develop leads main by a minor” policy to AGENTS.md under the Release Model section, including guidance for post-release minor bumps on
develop. - Documented how maintenance-only
develop -> mainpromotions should preservemain’sversion.jsonto avoid unintended minor bumps. - Added a concise Versioning section to .github/copilot-instructions.md that points back to the canonical AGENTS.md guidance.
