+- **Dependency floor hardening for PyPI installs**: added explicit lower bounds for previously unbounded core CLI dependencies (`typer`, `rich`, `httpx[socks]`, `platformdirs`, `readchar`) to reduce resolver drift across clean environments.
+- **Release validation robustness**: release-readiness validation now remains scoped to valid version tags for the active major stream and supports `a`/`b`/`rc` tag parity checks.
