Description

## Summary

The latest **stable** tag is quite stale while development continues on RC tags, which blocks downstream packaging and distro onboarding from tracking a well-defined source snapshot.

- Last stable tag: **v0.2.0** (2026-05-25)
- `HEAD` is **170 commits ahead** of it (as of 2026-09-11)
- The newest tags since then are RC pre-releases (`v0.3.0-rc1.post1, v0.3.0-rc0.post1, v0.2.0`)

## Why it matters for packaging

We are packaging FlagOS components as deb/rpm for distro repos (openEuler/openKylin and our own Nexus repos), and distro builds pin a **stable, reproducible source snapshot**. With RC tags excluded by our release filter:

- building from `v0.2.0` ships a version missing 4+ months of fixes;
- building from an RC tag violates the stable-release rule for distro repos.

For repos where a stable tag is unavailable in time, we fall back to pinning a commit hash — workable, but a proper stable tag is much better for version comparison, upgrades and changelog tracking.

## Request

Could you cut a stable release tag (e.g. promote the current `v0.3.0` line to final, or tag `v0.3.0` from a reviewed commit)? A regular cadence — even "whenever the rc line stabilizes, drop the final tag" — would let downstream packaging follow automatically.

Happy to help with release notes or anything mechanical if useful.

Research direction

Start by comparing v0.2.0 with the listed v0.3.0 RC tags and reviewing the repository’s release and tagging process. Confirm which reviewed commit should become v0.3.0 and that downstream packaging can use it; done when a stable v0.3.0 tag is published.
