 - **Dependency updates**: Managed by **Mend Renovate**. We do not use Dependabot — never enable it, never create `.github/dependabot.yml`, never reference it in workflows or docs.
 - **Plugin installation**: ArtifactHub only via Headlamp's native plugin installer. No Helm-based plugin installation, no custom install scripts.
 
+## Versioning

+All releases use **SemVer** (semantic versioning). ArtifactHub requires SemVer for Headlamp plugin packages. Do not use CalVer.
