+# Ticket 206: Release 2.2.3 integration version files
+
+- **ID**: ticket-206
+- **Owner**: ai-claude
+- **Status**: IN_PROGRESS
+- **Workflow state**: EDIT
+- **Created**: 2026-10-25
+
+## Goal and scope
+
+Integration-owned release projection for goal 2.2.3: VERSION and
+pyproject.toml move 2.2.2 -> 2.2.3, carrying the governed-autonomy chain
+(tickets 196, 199-205: publish completion on a synchronized base, registry
+baseline fallback, cache-safe discovery, dynamic __version__ contracts,
+epilogue guard and marker, clear unreleased-sources boundary). After merge,
+the governed publish-completion path publishes the release (dogfood).
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [ ] AC-01: VERSION contains 2.2.3 and pyproject.toml declares version 2.2.3 with no other manifest delta.
+- [ ] AC-02: Test suite passes; packaging metadata parses.
+- [ ] AC-03: Governance check passes for this ticket scope.
+
+## Tracking boundary
+
+This directory contains the minimal reviewed intent. Optional participant prose
+and raw command logs are not required delivery output.
