Security hardening, P2P Protocol RFC, Epoch automation, AI documentation assistant, and 30+ deliverables.

• Supabase deep security audit: Full attack surface validation across Hybrid Gene gateway, WASM upload, Edge Functions, Reputation RPCs, Badge Worker, V(g) scanner, Gene Registry, MCP call stats
• WASM sandbox escape testing: 15+ security tests covering memory OOB, infinite loops, host function abuse, resource exhaustion, malformed IR
• P2P Protocol RFC: Complete design document — transport (QUIC/libp2p), discovery (mDNS + Kademlia DHT), GossipSub messaging, Sybil/Eclipse protection, Cloud binding collaboration
• Security Checklist mechanism: Reusable version-level security checklist template integrated into CI and release flow
• Epoch automation: pg_cron daily reputation computation + monthly decay with idempotent compute_all_reputations() RPC
• ContributionMetrics: Anti-manipulation ready contribution tracking (gene_invocation_log, gene_contribution_metrics)
• LLM-Native Gene standard: Prompt Gene + Guard Gene phenotype definitions (ADR-084)
• Evolution API Level 1.5: Gene recommendation + Arena observability REST endpoints
• AI documentation assistant: RAG-powered chat on rotifer.dev with rate limiting, content filtering, caching, and analytics
• WebMCP Phase 1: 10→14 Agent-ready marketplace tools with auth + confirm dialogs
• Infrastructure resilience: GitLab→GitHub CI migration, Forgejo migration preparation, Cloudflare Pages deployment pipeline

v0.7.10 (2026-03-24)

Security hardening, WebMCP expansion, and China market readiness.

• Schema Compatibility Check: Static type checking for Seq pipeline — validates output→input schema alignment with PASS / UNCHECKED / FAIL diagnostics
• Try Fallback Error Propagation: Try operator now passes structured {error, original_input} to fallback genes instead of bare input
• WebMCP Phase 1: 10→14 tools — 4 new write-enabled (L3) tools: set_gene_visibility, request_arena_evaluation, create_gene, update_gene_metadata with auth + confirm dialog
• Path Traversal Guard: rotifer init now rejects project names containing ../ sequences
• China Network Guide: Chinese getting-started docs with cnpm mirror install and Supabase latency notes
• CI Pipeline Hardening: Fixed deploy configs, Node 20 compatibility, resilient network-dependent tests

v0.7.9 (2026-03-20)

Major milestone in protocol maturity and trust infrastructure.

• Safety Badge Pipeline: Automated verification gate (V(g)) with visual safety badges for genes
• Cloud Arena: Global fitness rankings with real-time competition
• Agent Blueprint: Export/import full agent configurations (genome + arena state)
• MCP Server: @rotifer/mcp-server enables IDE integration (Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, etc.)
• Network Commands: rotifer network announce, network discover, network pull for P2P gene sharing
• Reputation System: Phase-weighted trust ranking R(g) complementing fitness F(g) (time decay planned for v0.9)

v0.7.x (2026-03-19 → 2026-03-20)

Rapid iteration series focused on stability and developer experience.

• v0.7.0 → v0.7.9: Progressive improvements to CLI reliability, error messages, and documentation
• Cloud binding stabilization and endpoint configuration
• Arena ranking algorithm refinements

v0.5.x (2026-02-23 → 2026-02-24)

• Reputation Foundation: Introduction of R(g) reputation scoring
• P2P Foundation: GossipSub metadata announcement, Kademlia DHT discovery
• Horizontal Logic Transfer (HLT): Cross-agent gene sharing infrastructure
• Composition Operators: Seq, Par, Cond, Try, Transform for multi-gene pipelines

v0.4.0 (2026-02-23)

• Cloud Binding: Supabase-backed cloud registry for gene publishing and discovery
• rotifer login / rotifer publish / rotifer search / rotifer install

• GitHub OAuth authentication

v0.3.0 (2026-02-22)

• Auto TS→WASM Compilation: rotifer compile automatically compiles TypeScript genes to Native WASM via the built-in IR compiler — no separate Rust/WASM toolchain required
• Rotifer IR: Custom WASM sections (rotifer.version, rotifer.phenotype, rotifer.constraints, rotifer.metering)
• WASM sandbox with fuel metering and epoch interruption

v0.1.0 (2026-02-20)

The inaugural release — core gene lifecycle.

• rotifer init — project scaffolding with Genesis genes
• rotifer scan — function compatibility detection
• rotifer wrap — function-to-gene conversion with phenotype.json generation
• rotifer test — sandbox testing with schema validation
• rotifer compile — Rotifer IR compilation (manual WASM input)
• Five Genesis genes included: genesis-web-search, genesis-web-search-lite, genesis-file-read, genesis-code-format, genesis-l0-constraint

Versioning Policy

The Rotifer Protocol follows Semantic Versioning:

• Major (1.x): Breaking protocol changes
• Minor (0.x): New features, backward-compatible
• Patch (0.0.x): Bug fixes and improvements

Current status: Pre-1.0 — the protocol is under active development. APIs may change between minor versions.
