Owner

Observed during the v4.1.12-rc.1 install (2026-09-08): install.sh cannot install rc-scheme releases.

Pinned form: the pin validator accepts only ^vX.Y.Z(-rcN)?$ — no dot-suffix on the rc segment — so v4.1.12-rc.1 is rejected.

Unpinned form: the "latest" resolution splits the tag on - via awk $NF, so dito-v4.1.12-rc.1 sorts as version 0.1.0 and an unpinned install would silently pick v4.1.11.

dito's own self-update (real semver::Version::parse, no pre-release exclusion) worked and is the sanctioned path for rc installs.

Ask: semver-aware resolution in the unpinned path + the pinned-form validator accepting -rc.N.

merge: fix/15-16-rc-installs — #15 semver-aware unpinned resolution (rc.N numeric, stable-vs-rc ordering), #16 behavioral coverage for the dotted-rc validator

Fixed on main (75762ec, merged from fix/15-16-rc-installs): resolve_latest_tag ranks (major, minor, patch, is-stable, rc-number) with zero-padded numeric compare — rc.11 > rc.9 > rc.1, stable beats its own rcs, a newer-patch rc outranks an older stable (the exact silent-pick bug). 30 parsing assertions + 3 E2E runs against a stubbed forge prove the downloader requests releases/download/dito-v4.1.12-rc.11/... exactly; stable-only sets resolve byte-identically. NOTE: unpinned now installs the newest rc when it outranks every stable (semver-correct); if unpinned should hard-prefer stables, the is-stable key moves ahead of patch — one line, flagged for the Operator.
