chore: bump version to 1.2.2

* fix: universal tool_call/tool_result orphan detection for OpenAI-compat providers

The Anthropic provider had orphan detection for mismatched tool_call ↔
tool_result pairs, but OpenAI-compatible providers (Chat Completions,
Google, Responses API) had none. When an Anthropic model runs behind
an OpenAI-compat API (e.g. Azure) or cancellation creates orphans,
the API rejects the malformed request.

- Rewrite sanitize_messages() with orphan detection: synthesize error
  tool results for unmatched tool_calls, drop tool results with no
  matching tool_call, fill empty tool_call IDs with positional remap
- Call sanitize_messages() from Responses API _convert_messages()

* fix: address review feedback on orphan detection

- Track answered IDs per-turn (local_answered) instead of scanning
  all of out, preventing false matches from reused IDs across turns
- Drop empty-ID tool results that have no remap entry instead of
  passing them through with invalid empty tool_call_id
- Increment empty_result_idx for every empty result, not just remapped
- Remove dead result_ids peek-ahead code
- Add test for repeated tool_call IDs across turns

+# Release Process
+
+Turnstone uses two parallel release tracks published from a single PyPI package.
+
+## Release Tracks
+
+| Track | Versions | Branch | Docker tags | PyPI install |
+|-------|----------|--------|-------------|--------------|
+| **Stable** | `1.1.0`, `1.1.1` | `stable/1.1` | `:1.1.0`, `:1.1`, `:stable`, `:latest` | `pip install turnstone` |
+| **Experimental** | `1.2.0a1`, `1.2.0a2` | `main` | `:1.2.0a1`, `:experimental` | `pip install turnstone --pre` |
+
+- **Stable** receives bugfixes only. Production-grade.
+- **Experimental** receives new features. May be rough around the edges.
+- When experimental matures, it is promoted to stable. The previous stable branch stops receiving patches.
+
+## Version Scheme
+
+[PEP 440](https://peps.python.org/pep-0440/) pre-release suffixes on a single package:
+
+- `1.0.0` — stable release
+- `1.1.0a1` — alpha (experimental)
+- `1.1.0b1` — beta (experimental, more stable)
+- `1.1.0rc1` — release candidate (experimental, nearly stable)
+- `1.1.0` — promoted to stable
+
+## Releasing an Experimental Version (from main)
+
+```bash
+scripts/release.sh 1.1.0a2 --push
+```
+
+This bumps `pyproject.toml` + `turnstone/__init__.py`, regenerates `uv.lock`, commits, tags `v1.1.0a2`, and pushes. CI runs, then publish + Docker workflows fire automatically.
+
+## Releasing a Stable Patch (from stable/X.Y)
+
+```bash
+git checkout stable/1.0
+git cherry-pick <commit-hash>    # bugfix from main
+scripts/release.sh 1.0.2 --push
+```
+
+## Promoting Experimental to Stable
+
+When `main` is ready for a stable release:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Tag the stable release on main
+scripts/release.sh 1.1.0 --push
+
+# 2. Create the stable maintenance branch from that tag
+git branch stable/1.1 v1.1.0
+git push origin stable/1.1
+
+# 3. Start the next experimental cycle on main
+scripts/release.sh 1.2.0a1 --push
+```
+
+The previous `stable/1.0` branch stops receiving patches at this point.
+
+## CI/CD Pipeline
+
+All releases are gated on CI success:
+
+1. `git push` with `v*` tag triggers **CI** (lint, typecheck, test, test-postgres, lock-check, security audit)
+2. On CI success, **Publish to PyPI** fires via `workflow_run`
+3. On CI success, **Publish Docker Image** fires via `workflow_run`
+
+Pre-release tags (`a`, `b`, `rc` suffixes) produce:
+- PyPI: pre-release version (not installed by default)
+- GitHub Release: marked as pre-release
+- Docker: `:experimental` alias + exact version tag
+
+Stable tags produce:
+- PyPI: stable version (default `pip install`)
+- GitHub Release: full release
+- Docker: `:stable`, `:latest`, `:X.Y`, `:X.Y.Z` tags
+
+## Dependency Updates
+
+Renovate targets `main` (experimental) only. Stable branches receive manual dependency updates via cherry-pick when security-relevant.

+An MCP server that exposes tools for executing commands across a Turnstone cluster. Serves as a reference implementation for both MCP server patterns and Turnstone SDK usage.
 
 ## How it works
 
-This server uses Turnstone's SDK client (`TurnstoneServer`) to dispatch shell commands to specific nodes via HTTP. Remote agents execute the command and the raw bash output is captured directly from the `ToolResultEvent` stream — bypassing the costly "agent reads output → re-generates output as completion tokens" round-trip.
+This server uses the Turnstone console SDK (`TurnstoneConsole`) for node discovery and routing, and `TurnstoneServer` for per-node SSE streaming. The dispatch flow for each command is:
+
+1. **Route** — `TurnstoneConsole.route_create_workstream(target_node=..., auto_approve=True)` creates a workstream pinned to the target node via the console's hash-ring routing proxy, returning `ws_id` and `node_url`.
+2. **Execute** — `TurnstoneServer(node_url, token=...)` connects directly to the node's SSE stream using the same `TURNSTONE_API_TOKEN`. `send_and_wait(prompt, ws_id)` runs the command and the raw bash output is captured from the `ToolResultEvent` — bypassing the costly "agent reads output then re-generates output as completion tokens" round-trip.
+3. **Cleanup** — `TurnstoneConsole.route_close(ws_id)` closes the workstream.
