AGENTS.md now says how changes reach a release here, so anyone working in the repository, an assistant included, follows the rc approach:

  • pull requests go to rc, not main,
  • they stay drafts until they have been reviewed, because the nightly merges any pull request into rc that is not a draft and has no review requested (get-pull-requests.ps1 and get-target-branch.ps1 in common-ci),
  • one pull request merges rc into main when a release is wanted, and the "Only rc into main" check, now required on main, fails a pull request into main from any other branch.

The organisation-wide contributing guide in 51Degrees/.github#8 says the same for contributors, and the full steps are in the common-ci contributing guide.

Brings in the Releases section of AGENTS.md (#23), the javascript-templates
update (#20) and the 4.5.102 release. The Date header check in the cloud error
test (#21) is the same change already on this branch.

The cxx submodule conflicted. rc points at 1bec7b5 (4.5.102) and this branch
at f03dbfd, the head of the cxx change that adds the data submodule
(51Degrees/51degrees-cxx#96). f03dbfd is nine commits ahead of 1bec7b5 and
contains it, so the merge keeps f03dbfd.

Releases what has collected on `rc` since #24:

- [#23](#23) Describe the rc approach to releases in AGENTS.md
- [#22](#22) Move the examples, tests and CI to the cxx data submodule
- [#26](#26) Say in AGENTS.md how to get the data, build and run the examples
- [#29](#29) Give each package a homepage and fix the links its README carries
- [#25](#25) Check the callback URL before the JavaScript builder writes it
- [#28](#28) Stop the data file watcher and update timer keeping pipelines alive

The cxx submodule moves from [4.5.102](https://github.com/51Degrees/51degrees-cxx/releases/tag/4.5.102) to [4.5.103](https://github.com/51Degrees/51degrees-cxx/releases/tag/4.5.103). That release adds the [data](https://github.com/51Degrees/data) repository at `cxx/data` and changes nothing under `src/`.

No commit asks for a major or minor version change, so the publish moves only patch numbers.

The last release into `main` was #24, merged at 09:24 UTC on 4 November 2026.
