Release Notes

The starter kit is versioned separately from the broader docs. Each public starter-kit release should have a matching tag such as starter-kit-v0.1.0 and a current public-manifest.json. If a plugin release needs rollback, install from the last known-good tag and avoid changing the marketplace/plugin names.
