The user, messages 23885 and 23886 (2026-10-10): a bug fix, and any hotfix for an agent's bug, is released at once as a patch version. A new feature waits on its branch and goes out together with others in the next minor version, when enough has gathered to make one; installing every feature right away costs too much time. The orchestrator decides what is a patch and what is a minor.
