versioned-release-installs-require-external-data-dir

Any tool installed under a versioned releases// directory pattern must have its mutable runtime data dir placed outside releases/ and symlinked in at install time. This applies to xint and any future tools following the same pattern. Failure to do this means cost tracking, metrics, and cached state are silently abandoned on every upgrade.
