# Package System (Retired)

> **This document has been retired.** The beta package-system spec described a
> Git-native transport model that no longer reflects the shipped system.
>
> The current authority is the alpha spec:
> **[docs/alpha/package-system/PACKAGE-SYSTEM.md](../../alpha/package-system/PACKAGE-SYSTEM.md)**
>
> The shipped model (v3.34.0+) uses versioned tarball artifacts resolved
> through a package index over HTTPS. The lockfile is the integrity
> authority; the package index is the resolution authority. Git is not
> in the consumer path.
>
> For the package-system design plan history, see
> [docs/gamma/plans/PLAN-package-system.md](../../gamma/plans/PLAN-package-system.md).
