A project without a version is seeded after its name, like the other project types
+* A pyproject.toml is never auto-discovered, because many repositories keep one purely for tool settings; discovering those would start versioning a lint config in repositories that rely on discovery today
+* Refused with an explanation rather than guessed at: a version listed in [project] dynamic (computed by the build backend), a [tool.poetry]-only project, a non-string version, and a version AutoVer cannot increment (a normalized spelling such as 1.2.3b1)
+* A prerelease label must be a Python pre-release (PEP 440): alpha, beta, rc (and their short forms), pre/preview or dev, optionally numbered. Anything else fails the release before any project file is written, rather than producing a package pip refuses to install (hotfix) or a post-release that pip installs ahead of the real version (post.1)
