A release candidate's working copy is in the vault; the site renders a frozen snapshot of it, marked, never official

Release candidates are working versions and live in the vault; to be read, printed and marked up one is built on the site from a frozen snapshot whose hash is recorded once, so what Dinis read cannot change behind him, and the next round of feedback is the next candidate. Not a version: not in the versions list, every page says what it is, nothing published from it outside the site.

Decided by. Dinis, 19 October 2026 (decision 009), from his request for a fully built first release candidate he could read and print

Where it comes from

• Decision 009: A release candidate is read on the site from a frozen snapshot, marked, and is not a version the decision (decision)
• The book in release mode Release mode: candidates live in the vault (article)
• The release candidate, written from the register how rc1 was built (agent-article)

What it answers in the 2018 book

• none named

Where it goes

Chapter How this book was made, and what you made, part How this book was made, and what you made (drafting); topic How this book was made (the last part).

Other ideas proposed for the same chapter: The repository holds the official versions; the vault holds the working versions, Co-written with Claude, credited, with the ratio shown; short and punchy; every paragraph knows what it is, A personal edition, assembled by an agent, paid for as it is read, Read, comment, decide: the loop that turns Dinis's decisions into versions, An article is how to brief an agent, and the roles keep their names, Release the book we already released: every format from one source, One board for the work, one inventory of everything unfinished, Start from the storyline, as storyboards drawn by code, Everything we do here becomes a graph: ideas as nodes, provenance as edges, state on every node, The name: Generation ZX Developers (GenAI Startup Edition), A hands-on part, dated 2026 and renewed each year, Do the book in release mode: a whole release candidate from the first list, then rounds, then the next candidate, After rc1, nothing enters the book without a hearing: an advocate, a cutter, the readers, a checker, the editor, and Dinis decides, Every verdict is recorded with its reason, and a general reason becomes a precedent that decides the next case without a hearing, The book is measured by how many companies are created from it, and builds a community of the people who tell us, The book is 200 printed pages or more; short and punchy stays the rule for chapters, not for the book, A change decided by precedent goes on a list Dinis can overturn, and Dinis reads the diffs of the book, The hands-on part is inside the book, dated, in the release candidate.
