Immutable launch links / tag policy #1

@Haserjian

Description

@Haserjian

Context

Every public link in posts, README, and docs should point to an immutable tag (e.g., launch-2026-02-11), not main. This prevents data drift: if main advances and a scan study number changes, old links become misleading.

Current state

  • Post links are pinned to launch-2026-02-11 tag as of commit 6195ab2.
  • test_messaging_drift.py catches pinned SHA blobs but not main vs tag drift.

Next steps

  • Document the tag policy: every public-facing link should use a release tag
  • Add a drift guard test that warns if any post link points to main
  • Consider using GitHub Releases instead of raw tags for better discoverability
  • Automate: pre-post script that verifies all links resolve (HTTP 200)
