One feature, four branch tags — TAO's feed is backport plumbing, not release news.

assessment-platformbackportsmulti-branchcontentless-releasesdependency-bumpsfeature-flags
◆Current state
Every entry in this feed is a backport. Three of the five tags carry the same change — the AUT-4590 dual preview feature and its flag — fanned across the v56.1, v56.3.1, and v56.3.5 construct lines, while the v55.0.1 line receives only dependency bumps. Release bodies are a PR reference and a version range; none describes what the change does for users.
◆Where it's heading
TAO is maintaining several customer-pinned construct lines simultaneously and moving work between them rather than shipping forward on a single trunk. The version numbers run non-monotonically as a result — v55.0.1.13 is newer than v56.3.5.2 by date — so tag order says nothing about what a given release contains. Nothing here indicates development on new capability.
◆Prediction
Expect more per-branch backport tags with contentless notes as features already merged upstream are pulled into supported lines. Whether dual preview reaches the v55 line is not visible from these entries.

◆Recent moves

    v55.0.1.13 backports tao-core-shared-libs 1.12.1

    A shared-libs dependency backport to the v55.0.1 line, with no described user-facing effect. It is the maintenance floor of this feed rather than a release in any meaningful sense.

    Dual preview backported to the v56.1 line

    The AUT-4590 dual preview feature reaches the v56.1 line. It is the only entry in this set that moves capability onto a branch rather than shifting dependencies, though the note gives no detail on what dual preview actually presents.

    Dual preview flag tagged for the 2026.07 construct line

    The same dual preview feature flag, tagged again for the 2026.07 construct line on top of v56.3.5.1. A sibling tag of the same change, not a separate release.

    Dual preview flag tagged for the v56.3.1 line

    A third tag carrying the identical dual preview feature flag onto the v56.3.1 line. Counting these separately would triple-count one piece of work.

    v55.0.1.12 bumps tao-core-ui to 3.19.2

    A tao-core-ui version bump backported from v55.0.1.11. Pure dependency maintenance on the oldest supported line.
