-## Versioning and the pyproject template
-
-There is no `pyproject.toml` in this repository. It is generated from
-`pyproject.toml.tmpl`, and its version comes from the git tag that triggered the build:
-
-```toml
-version = "{{vless .TagName}}"
-```
-
-gitea-sidecar renders every `*.tmpl` file in the source to its name minus the suffix before
-building the wheel, so a tag of `v0.1.1` produces version `0.1.1` — `vless` strips the
-leading `v`, which git wants and PEP 440 does not.
-
-The tag is therefore the only place a version is written. Do not add a hardcoded version
-back into the template: the build would keep producing that one version, and publishing a
-second tag would fail because the package file already exists.
-
-**Building locally** needs the same render step, since the file the build tools look for is
-not in the repository:
-
-```bash
-sed 's/{{vless .TagName}}/0.0.0.dev0/' pyproject.toml.tmpl > pyproject.toml
-```
-
-`pyproject.toml` is gitignored, so a local copy never reaches a build.
