+- **New stable pipeline, from v0.21.6.** The tag itself is plain semver (`v0.21.6`) with
+  no separate date tag — don't assume `tag_name` is a date without checking its shape
+  first. Display `vX.Y.Z (YYYY.M.D)` using the release's publish date in place of the
+  old tag-date. Check whether a later release reintroduces a date tag before assuming
+  this holds permanently.
 - **NEVER poll PyPI.** The `hermes-agent` package lags badly behind the releases.
