Subject: [PATCH 04/10] feat(ci): implement semver release channels
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Rename dev-release.yml → alpha-release.yml
- Alpha builds: v0.0.4-alpha.{run_number} (prerelease)
- Add pr-build.yml for draft releases
- PR builds: v0.0.4-pr.{num}.bid.{id} (draft, not published)
- Add attestation permissions for SLSA compliance
- No more deleting/recreating dev tag

Versioning strategy:
- Draft: +pr.{NUM}.bid.{ID} (testable, not published)
- Alpha: -alpha.{N} (canary channel)
- Beta: -beta (quality scored)
- RC: -rc.{N} (release candidate)
- Stable: no suffix

+## Potential Duplicates / Overlaps
+
+1. **Error Handling**: #187, #201, #227-230 all relate to error handling
+2. **Documentation**: #192, #231-237 all relate to documentation
+3. **Configuration**: #202, #167, #232 all relate to configuration
+4. **Security Audits**: #183, #184, #186, #221, #222 all relate to security
+
+---
+
+## Recommendations
+
+1. **Close audit meta-issues as work is done**: Issues #183-202 are meta-audit issues that should be closed once their derived issues are created/completed.
+
+2. **Link related issues**: Create sub-issue relationships:
+   - #187 (audit: error handling) -> #227, #228, #229, #230
+   - #192 (audit: docs) -> #231, #233, #234, #235, #236, #237
+   - #202 (audit: config) -> #167, #232
+
+3. **Good first issues**: #136, #139 are marked as good first issues
+
+4. **Consider closing duplicates**:
+   - #187 vs #201 (both about error handling)
+   - #192 vs #231-237 (documentation)
+
+5. **Priority order for development**:
+   1. Security fixes (#221, #222)
+   2. Test coverage (#218, #219)
+   3. Core infrastructure (#168 - crypt, #167 - config)
+   4. Error handling standardization (#227-230)
+   5. Documentation (#233-237)
