+## Versioning
+
+Version is tracked in `package.json` and displayed in the footer. All agents must follow these rules:
+
+| Digit | Meaning | Who can bump |
+|-------|---------|-------------|
+| **3rd** (patch) | Bug fixes, minor updates | T3 autonomously |
+| **2nd** (minor) | Feature additions, major updates | **Operator (T1) permission required** |
+| **1st** (major) | Pivot-level changes | **Operator (T1) permission required** |
+
+When making a PR, bump the patch version in `package.json` for bug fixes. For feature work, note in the PR that a minor version bump may be needed and let T1 decide.
+

-## Tonight's Queue — Bug Fixes (Batch 12)
+## Tonight's Queue — PLOT Token Launch + Contract Redeploy (Batch 18)
+
+### 1. plotlink#536 — Redeploy StoryFactory with J-curve + real PLOT (T3)
+**Priority: CRITICAL**
+- Update `DeployBase.s.sol` to use exact prices from `story-token-curve.txt` (J-curve)
+- Deploy to Base mainnet with real PLOT token address (provided by T1)
+- `DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY` and `BASESCAN_API_KEY` in `plotlink-contracts/.env`
+- Set `initialStorylineCount` to skip past existing symbols
+- Record new StoryFactory address
+- Branch: `task/536-storyfactory-jcurve`
+
+### 2. plotlink#537 — Call setPlotToken() on ZapPlotLinkV2 (T3)
+**Priority: CRITICAL**
+- Call `setPlotToken(newPlotAddress)` on Zap at `0xAe50C9444DA2Ac80B209dC8B416d1B4A7D3939B0`
+- Use `DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY` from `plotlink-contracts/.env`
+- Use `cast send` or Foundry script
+- Branch: `task/537-set-plot-token`
+
+### 3. plotlink#538 — Update all PL_TEST → PLOT references in plotlink codebase (T3)
+**Priority: HIGH**
+- Replace PL_TEST address with real PLOT in `lib/contracts/constants.ts` and all references
+- Update `RESERVE_LABEL` from `PL_TEST` to `PLOT`
+- Update `lib/usd-price.ts` to point to new token
+- Branch: `task/538-plot-token-refs`
 
-### 1. plotlink#284 — Brittle wallet rejection detection leaves false recovery intents
+### 4. plotlink#539 — Update all StoryFactory references to new contract (T3)
 **Priority: HIGH**
-- `isUserRejection()` only matches a few patterns — non-standard wallets leave false intents in localStorage
-- Expand rejection patterns or defer intent persistence until after wallet confirmation
-- Branch: `task/284-wallet-rejection-detection`
+- Replace old factory address in `lib/contracts/constants.ts`, SDK, env
+- Update `DEPLOYMENT_BLOCK` to new deploy block
+- Branch: `task/539-factory-address-update`
 
-### 2. plotlink#285 — Recovery retry fails permanently on IPFS upload errors
+### 5. plotlink#540 — Verify contracts on Basescan (T3)
 **Priority: HIGH**
-- If IPFS upload fails, recovery banner appears but retry only re-hits indexer, not IPFS
-- Either defer intent save until after IPFS success, or include IPFS re-upload in retry flow
-- Branch: `task/285-ipfs-retry-recovery`
+- Run `forge verify-contract` for new StoryFactory and ZapPlotLinkV2
+- `BASESCAN_API_KEY` in `plotlink-contracts/.env`
+- Branch: `task/540-basescan-verify`
+
+### --- OPERATOR GATE (after all PRs merged) ---
+**T1: Post-deploy verification:**
+- Initialize `backfill_cursor` in Supabase with new StoryFactory deployment block
+- Create a test storyline on the new contract and verify full flow
+- Verify Basescan shows verified source for both contracts
