 Measured 2026-08-13: tag `1.1.0` was cut at `main` while `pyproject.toml` still said
 `1.0.0`, so an install from that tag reported the previous release. Caught before any

+*(This docstring used to add "third time in this arc a version has been declared twice
+with a guard on one copy (register C-80, C-82)". Corrected 2026-08-15: neither entry says
+that. C-80 is the doc-accuracy scan exempting ADRs and CICs; C-82 is governance prose
+carrying numbers nothing checks — the same **class** as this, a number with no guard, but
+about the register and CIC front matter, not about a version declared twice. The claim was
+repeated into a release PR before anyone read the entries it cited.)*

     This is the direction that actually bit: the tag moved, the file did not. Runs on
