2026-05-14 |
Updated baseline after product decision closure: Apple App Store SDK gate uses Xcode 26+ and iOS 26 / iPadOS 26 SDK+ since 2026-04-28, platform baselines and decision traceability propagated across the document set. |
12. Platform Release Policy Traceability
| Policy document |
Covered decisions |
docs/release/platform-release-policy.md |
iOS runtime target, Apple App Store Connect upload SDK gate, Android runtime target, Google Play target API gate |
The Apple App Store Connect upload gate remains linked through:
The corrected effective date is:
This build-SDK gate is separate from the iOS runtime deployment target.

| Version |
Date |
Description |
| 0.9.2 |
2026-05-14 |
Corrected Apple App Store Connect upload gate to 2026-04-28 and checked full-package naming, references, and coverage. |

| Version |
Date |
Description |
| 0.9.3 |
2026-05-15 |
Added desktop PTT traceability rows covering SysRS-296..302 -> SysDes-142..148 -> SRS-195..203 -> SAD-071..079 -> SDD-081..092 and the verification coverage onto SWE.4 / SWE.5 / SWE.6 / SYS.4. |
Baseline Candidate 0.9.4 Update
| Version |
Date |
Description |
| 0.9.4 |
2026-05-15 |
Corrected SRS-200 traceability row: SAD coverage moves from the narrative SAD-072..074 annotation to the dedicated SAD-080, with SDD coverage in the new SDD-093. The change preserves strict layer discipline (SRS-200 -> SAD-080 -> SDD-093). No other rows mutate. |
v1 Audio + PTT Lifecycle Traceability Addendum (Baseline Candidate 0.9.5)
Strict layered sourcing for the v1 audio + PTT lifecycle chain:
| SysRS |
SysDes |
SRS |
SAD |
SDD |
Cross-reference |
| SysRS-303 (Transmit modes, lifecycle, listen-only, hard-mute) |
SysDes-149, SysDes-150 |
SRS-204, SRS-205, SRS-207 |
SAD-081, SAD-083 |
SDD-094, SDD-095, SDD-097 |
DEC-029 (native PTT backend locked), DEC-030 (VAD deferred) |
| SysRS-304 (PTT release tail) |
SysDes-151 |
SRS-206 |
SAD-082 |
SDD-096 |
— |
No forbidden direct links introduced: SRS continues to source from SysDes only, SAD from SRS only, SDD from SAD only. DEC-029 / DEC-030 are governance cross-references and do not act as engineering-layer direct sources.
| Version |
Date |
Description |
| 0.9.5 |
2026-05-15 |
Added v1 audio + PTT lifecycle traceability rows covering SysRS-303..304 -> SysDes-149..151 -> SRS-204..207 -> SAD-081..083 -> SDD-094..097, with DEC-029 (Flutter hotkey packages rejected) and DEC-030 (VAD deferred to P1) recorded as governance cross-references. |
