+          - Merge with **rebase** to preserve the linear Conventional Commit history.
+          - After merge, Release Please opens a separate versioned release PR with the changelog.

+The promotion runtimes for Draft PR and Release PR are maintained in the same
+versioned repository. They are introduced before their consumer wrappers move
+to a release tag, avoiding a bootstrap cycle when a new runtime version is
+being published.
+
 Initialization defaults to AGPL for new repositories. Synchronization defaults
 to `--license preserve`, so an existing repository's license is never replaced
 unless you explicitly select a license or provide `--license-file`.
