@rdryfoos, thanks for updating the author metadata and publishing the new assets. One preset-specific issue remains before we can refresh the generated PR.
Issue #4058 and
preset.ymldeclare preset version 0.2.1, but the download URL points to the v0.3.2 GitHub release. The preset submission workflow requires a GitHub release matching the submitted preset version, and there is currently nov0.2.1release. Copilot flagged this mismatch on #4070.Please either publish the preset asset under a
v0.2.1release and update the download URL, or align the preset manifest, asset, submission, and bundle reference to version0.3.2. Once updated, let us know here so we can refresh the generated PR.The other Copilot findings on #4070 concern catalog and documentation ordering; those are maintainer-side changes and require no action from you.

Fixed in v0.3.3, taking the second option: all three components now share
the bundle's version, so the release tag always matches every component
version. The preset is 0.3.3, published as
specassay-preset-0.3.3.zip in the v0.3.3 release, and the bundle
reference is updated to match. Component versions will move together from
here, so this cannot drift again.

Thanks for aligning the release, preset manifest, and bundle at v0.3.3. One reference still needs updating: the preset README’s install command points to
v0.3.1/specassay-preset-0.2.0.zip.Please update it to:
https://github.com/rdryfoos/specassay/releases/download/v0.3.3/specassay-preset-0.3.3.zipOnce updated, let us know so we can regenerate the catalog PR.

Fixed in v0.3.4. The preset README shipped inside the preset zip still
pointed at the v0.3.1 asset name through the last two bumps; that file
wasn't in either sweep's grep pattern. It now points at v0.3.4, and
since the fix lives inside the artifact rather than just the issue
text, this went out as a real release, not an edit.
