-- **Versioning is tag-driven.** setuptools_scm uses `release-branch-semver` and derives the version from the latest `vX.Y.Z` git tag. It writes `app_skellington/_version.py` at build time. That file is tracked, but don't hand-edit it. A release means tagging, then `python -m build`, then `twine upload dist/*`. The README covers the full publish steps.
+- **Versioning is tag-driven.** setuptools_scm uses `release-branch-semver` and derives the version from the latest `vX.Y.Z` git tag. It writes `app_skellington/_version.py` at build time. That file is tracked, but don't hand-edit it. `pip install -e .` also rewrites it, so `git restore` it rather than committing the churn. A release means tagging, then `python -m build`, then `twine upload dist/*`. The README covers the full publish steps.
 - **Formatter config is inconsistent.** `pyproject.toml` has no `[tool.black]`, so black runs at its default width of 88. Only flake8 allows 120. The code on `main` is formatted at 88. The pre-commit black hook pins `language_version: python3.8`. It fails unless a 3.8 interpreter is on PATH (`.python-version` names 3.8.x for pyenv).
 - **Lint is not currently clean on `main`.** black wants to reformat 2 files, isort flags 3, and flake8 reports W391 and W503. Keep unrelated reformatting out of feature diffs.
 - Tests cover only `cfg` (ConfigObj fixtures live in `tests/cfg/`) plus a CommandTree constructor smoke test. `tests/test_log.py` is empty.
