+# Ticket 214: Release 2.2.5 integration version files
+
+- **ID**: ticket-214
+- **Owner**: ai-claude
+- **Status**: IN_PROGRESS
+- **Workflow state**: EDIT
+- **Created**: 2026-10-25
+
+## Goal and scope
+
+Integration-owned release projection for goal 2.2.5: VERSION and
+pyproject.toml move 2.2.4 -> 2.2.5, shipping ticket-213 (exact registry
+version confirmation before treating a tree as unpublished).
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- [ ] AC-01: VERSION contains 2.2.5 and pyproject.toml declares version 2.2.5 with no other manifest delta.
+- [ ] AC-02: Test suite passes; packaging metadata parses.
+- [ ] AC-03: Governance check passes for this ticket scope.
+
+## Tracking boundary
+
+This directory contains the minimal reviewed intent. Optional participant prose
+and raw command logs are not required delivery output.
