Add snapshot.useCalculatedVersion:true to .changeset/config.json (mirrors main). release.yml's canary step runs 'changeset version --snapshot canary'; without this it emits 0.0.0-canary-<datetime> instead of <next>-canary-<datetime> (e.g. 8.49.0-canary-...). Version-config only — does NOT affect the normal 'changeset version' (official release) path. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Adds
"snapshot": { "useCalculatedVersion": true }to v8's.changeset/config.json— mirroringmain, which already has it.Why
release.yml's Canary step (workflow_dispatch,canary=true) runs:Without this config,
changeset version --snapshotemits0.0.0-canary-<datetime>. With it, it emits<next>-canary-<datetime>— e.g.8.49.0-canary-20260722…— matching how v9/maincanaries look on thecanarydist-tag.Scope / safety
Version-config only. The
snapshotblock is read exclusively bychangeset version --snapshot. It has no effect on the normalchangeset versionpath that drives the official release (the "Version Packages" PR →8.49.0) or onchangeset publish. So this can merge before or after the Version PR with no interaction.Recommended order for a clean pre-release: merge this → run Canary (while changesets are still pending) → merge the Version PR → run Publish.
