 ### Branching Model
 
-| Branch | Purpose |
-|--------|---------|
-| `main` | Stable releases |
-| `dev` | Active development |
+| Branch | Purpose | Stability Suffix |
+|--------|---------|-----------------|
+| `main` | Stable releases | (none) |
+| `dev` | Active development | `-dev` |
+| `alpha` | Alpha pre-releases | `-alpha` |
+| `beta` | Beta pre-releases | `-beta` |
+| `rc` | Release candidates | `-rc` |
+| `feature/*` | Feature development | `-dev` |
+| `version/XX.YY.ZZ` | Archived release snapshots | (none) |
+
+### Version Numbering
+
+Versions use the format `XX.YY.ZZ` (two-digit segments, zero-padded):
+
+- **XX** -- Major version (breaking changes)
+- **YY** -- Minor version (new features, bumped on release to main)
+- **ZZ** -- Patch version (auto-incremented on every push to dev/feature branches)
+
+Stability suffixes are appended during development:
+
+- `02.09.00-dev` -- Development build
+- `02.09.00-alpha` -- Alpha pre-release
+- `02.09.00-beta` -- Beta pre-release
+- `02.09.00-rc` -- Release candidate
+
+On merge to `main`, suffixes are stripped and the minor version is bumped.
+
+### Auto Version Bump
+
+On every push to `dev`, `alpha`, `beta`, `rc`, or `feature/*`:
+
+1. The patch version is incremented (e.g., `02.08.05` -> `02.08.06`)
+2. The stability suffix is applied based on the branch name
+3. All version-bearing files are updated (manifests, CHANGELOG, PHP headers, etc.)
+4. A commit is created with `[skip ci]` to avoid infinite loops
+
+Commits with `[skip ci]` or `[skip bump]` in the message are ignored.
+
+### Auto Release
+
+When a PR is merged from `dev` to `main`:
+
+1. The minor version is bumped (e.g., `02.08.xx` -> `02.09.00`)
+2. Stability suffixes are stripped (stable release)
+3. A Gitea release is created with the build package (ZIP + tar.gz + SHA-256)
+4. `updates.xml` is updated for the Joomla update server
+5. The `dev` branch is recreated from `main`
+6. A `version/XX.YY.ZZ` archive branch is created
+
+### Release Channels
+
+The `updates.xml` file provides update streams for Joomla sites:
+
+| Channel | Tag | Description |
+|---------|-----|-------------|
+| Development | `dev` | Latest dev build (or stable if higher) |
+| Alpha | `alpha` | Alpha pre-release |
+| Beta | `beta` | Beta pre-release |
+| Release Candidate | `rc` | RC pre-release |
+| Stable | `stable` | Production-ready release |
+
+Joomla sites check the channel matching their configured stability level.
