Summary
Users repeatedly ask how the SDK version number is chosen by
fern generate, and teams ongithub: mode: pull-requestare surprised that re-running generation on an unmerged branch doesn't keep incrementing. Nothing in the public docs covered cloud version selection: the only versioning page is the self-hosted one (--version AUTO/fern ir+fern diff), and the CLI reference only documented explicit--version X.Y.Z.Adds a
## Version numberssection to How SDKs work covering:AUTO) in a tablesdkVersionin.fern/metadata.json) with the highest-wins + patch-bump rulepull-request/push+ one explicit-version release run patternThe CLI
--versionflag docs get a one-line pointer to that section.--version AUTOdetails stay on the existing self-hosted versioning page; the new subsection links there instead of restating the setup.Checks:
