 ## v0.6.0
 
-Temporal validity role + resolution anchor — additive Stage-1 IL enrichment (config/design/extract-temporal-role-2026-07-14.md). `synapt-extract` (PyPI) bumps to 0.6.0. `@synapt-dev/extract` (npm) carries the same additive-role parity but keeps its version at 0.5.0 for now — the npm version-sync is part of the deferred full-parity effort, not this additive-role slice.
+Temporal validity role + resolution anchor — additive Stage-1 IL enrichment (config/design/extract-temporal-role-2026-07-14.md). `synapt-extract` (PyPI) bumps to 0.6.0. `@synapt-dev/extract` (npm) also bumps to 0.6.0 — main already carries the full additive-role parity slice, so the version number is honest — but publishes on a short lag behind PyPI (npm's publish workflow had no `workflow_dispatch` retrigger, added alongside this bump). The FULL ts/py parity effort (a TS `extract_batch`/`batch.ts` port) remains the deferred post-validation follow-up, separate from this version-sync.
 
 - Added `role` (`effective` | `expiry` | `range` | `superseded` | `point`) to the temporal-ref schema, capturing the validity DIRECTION a date constrains (e.g. "expires April 30" → `expiry`, vs "effective March 2026" → `effective`) — a semantic distinction the source sentence carries but prior extraction dropped
 - `role` and `resolved_end` are now BASE-tier on the `temporal_refs` capability (no longer gated behind the separate `temporal_classes` capability) — always available to any caller requesting `temporal_refs`; `type`/`context` remain `temporal_classes`-gated

 - Fixed a prompt-rendering gap where an absent `date` param rendered the literal string "Resolve relative dates using: None." instead of omitting the instruction (wrapped in `{{#if date}}`; supported identically by both prompt renderers)
 - `_detect_capabilities`'s `temporal_classes` heuristic now keys on `type` presence only (`resolved_end` no longer implies the gated capability was exercised, since it moved to base tier)
 - Published JSON schema (`schemas/temporal-ref/v1.json`, both the repo-root canonical copy and the Python package copy) updated to match — schema-drift-check green

The FULL parity effort (a TS `extract_batch`/`batch.ts` port + version-sync) remains the post-validation follow-up per config/design/extract-ts-py-parity-plan-2026-07-15.md — this release only carries the additive-role coherence needed to keep the shared prompt/schema surface consistent.
