Summary

• Replaces Hydra v0.2.2's stale proposed/unpublished README status with the verified public release URL and annotated-tag target SHA.
• States the absence of a crates.io publication and removes the obsolete v0.2.1 fallback.
• Preserves immutable-tag and deterministic-regeneration guidance; makes consumer repins explicitly separate COD-478/COD-479 work.

🤖 Automated Review Panel

Reviewer A — GPT-5.6-terra

No blocking or non-blocking findings. The README-only diff meets COD-490: it gives the verified public release URL and target SHA, states no crates.io publication, removes obsolete unpublished/fallback wording, preserves immutable-tag guidance, and keeps downstream repins separately authorized.

Reviewer B — Gemini 3 Flash

No blocking findings. Independently confirmed the public non-draft/non-prerelease release, the v0.2.2^{} target afd8303da577898db06212d87e0fd1d4a32a4d3b, constrained scope, and retained repin boundary.

Both reviewers found the change aligned with its documentation-only goal.

Auto-Merge Gate

Confidence: 0.96

COD-490 is a tightly scoped README correction: the diff replaces stale unpublished-release language with the verified v0.2.2 release URL and annotated-tag target, preserves immutable-tag guidance, and keeps consumer repins explicitly out of scope. The linked ticket contains no do-not-merge/manual-review instruction.

Checks observed: CI Test and Creed context drift both succeeded.

Scope limits: documentation only; no publication, consumer repin, runtime, deployment, or release mutation is included.
