+# v0.7.0 Release Preparation Report
+
+**Verdict: `PASS_READY_TO_PUBLISH_AFTER_USER_APPROVAL`**
+
+This report documents the release-prep stage that converts the fully
+validated, unreleased v0.7 implementation into a clean `v0.7.0`
+release-prepared repository state. It does **not** authorize publication.
+No npm publish, git tag, GitHub Release, or merge to `master` occurred in
+this stage.
+
+## Commit identity
+
+| Label | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Prior gate | `PASS_READY_FOR_RELEASE_PREP` |
+| Prior branch | `validation/v0.7-pre-release` |
+| Audited v0.7 baseline | `4b2a51c` |
+| Cross-platform validated candidate HEAD | `b2286bd` |
+| Readiness report commit | `c57eb07` |
+| **STARTING_BRANCH** | `validation/v0.7-pre-release` |
+| **STARTING_HEAD** | `c57eb070d9e39aa0a52ab293b6594ed3b04a4395` |
+| **RELEASE_BRANCH** | `release/v0.7.0`, created from `c57eb07` |
+| **RELEASE_PREP_HEAD** | the release-prep commit on `release/v0.7.0` (see below) |
+
+`release/v0.7.0` did not exist prior to this task (only `release/v0.1.0`
+through `release/v0.6.0` existed remotely, all already merged/published).
+It was created fresh from the exact completed readiness-report HEAD
+(`c57eb07`), which itself descends from the cross-platform-validated
+candidate `b2286bd` and the audited baseline `4b2a51c`.
+
+## Preflight
+
+`b2286bd` and `c57eb07` confirmed as ancestors of the starting HEAD; working
+tree was clean; Prompt 1's preserved speculative-write stash
+(`stash@{0}`, "stray-fork-writes-preserved-for-reference") remains
+untouched - never applied, dropped, committed, or packaged.
+
+## Package identity
+
+- **PACKAGE_NAME**: `my-frontend-observer` (read from `package.json`, not
+  assumed)
+- **STARTING_PACKAGE_VERSION**: `0.6.0` (matched expectation; not already
+  `0.7.0`, so no investigation was needed)
+- **TARGET_VERSION**: `0.7.0`
+
+## npm registry baseline
+
+```
+npm view my-frontend-observer version        -> 0.6.0
+npm view my-frontend-observer versions --json -> ["0.1.0","0.2.0","0.3.0","0.4.0","0.5.0","0.6.0"]
+npm view my-frontend-observer@0.7.0 version   -> E404 (not found)
+```
+
+Consistent with repository release history (six prior releases, all
+present in both git tags and the npm registry). `0.7.0` was confirmed
+**unpublished** before any version-bump work began.
+
+## Version bump
+
+`package.json` and `package-lock.json` (both the root `version` field and
+the `packages[""].version` field) were edited directly to `0.7.0` - no
+`npm version` command was used, so no tag and no incidental commit were
+created. Dependency versions were not touched.
+
+```
+node -p "require('./package.json').version"                  -> 0.7.0
+node -p "require('./package-lock.json').version"              -> 0.7.0
+node -p "require('./package-lock.json').packages[''].version" -> 0.7.0
+```
+
+## CHANGELOG
+
+A new `## 0.7.0 - 2026-09-06` section was added at the top of
+`CHANGELOG.md` (previously the file had no `Unreleased` section and no v0.7
+entry at all - CHANGELOG content is written at release-prep time in this
+repository's convention, not during implementation). The entry describes
+actual implemented, user-visible v0.7 capabilities only: the
+external-reference artifact/lifecycle, explicit reference regions/geometry
+relationships, selected design requirements/tolerance semantics, reference
+adequacy, applicability/candidate-state compatibility, reference-region↔
+runtime-target binding, structured fidelity evaluation, bounded fidelity
+integration with v0.6 agent context, the end-to-end correction workflow,
+real-browser regression protection, the three new CLI commands and full
+programmatic export surface, and the cross-platform packed-candidate
+validation that preceded this release (naming the actual pre-bump candidate
+tarball and SHA-256, explicit that it was validated **before** the version
+bump, never claiming that tarball itself was version `0.7.0`). Contains no
+Prompt/Batch implementation-process narrative, no empty sections, and no
+speculative v0.8+ claims.
+
+## README
+
+Updated from "v0.7 implemented but unreleased" wording to final,
+publication-neutral wording for the release commit:
+
+- "Current status" section now describes `v0.7.0` as the current release
+  (matching this repository's own established precedent from the `0.6.0`
+  release-prep commit, which used identical "is the current published
+  release" phrasing before actual `npm publish`/tag).
+- The "External-reference correction workflow" heading changed from
+  "(v0.7, implemented, unreleased)" to "(v0.7.0)"; the paragraph
+  cross-referencing the stale "package version still `0.6.0`" fact was
+  removed.
+- The `ROADMAP` bullet now reads "v0.1-v0.7 are released; v0.8+ remain
+  future" (previously "v0.1-v0.6 are released; v0.7 is implemented ...
+  unreleased").
+- Added `npm run test:security` to the documented validation command list
+  (previously missing).
+- A full-repository grep for `unreleased`/`release pending`/`publication
+  pending`/`not released`/`not yet released` across README.md, CHANGELOG.md,
+  and every `docs/*.md` file returned **zero** matches after these edits.
+
+## CURRENT_STATE.md
+
+- Top summary now states package version `0.7.0` and the full current
+  schema-version set including `external-reference schema 1.0.0`.
+- All eight "v0.7 Prompt N status (...) - implemented, unreleased" section
+  headers changed to "- released as `0.7.0`".
+- The "Next target" closing section rewritten from "v0.7 ... implemented
+  and unreleased. The package version remains `0.6.0` pending a separate
+  ... stage" to "v0.1-v0.7 are implemented, validated, and released ...
+  v0.8+ remain future", now also citing
+  `docs/reports/v0.7-pre-release-readiness.md`.
+- v0.8+ are not marked implemented anywhere in this file.
+
+## Other docs updated (release-state wording only)
+
+- **PROJECT_OVERVIEW.md**: "Current repository state" section rewritten to
+  name v0.7 as released (`0.7.0`) alongside v0.1-v0.6, moving the v0.7
+  capability description out of the "unreleased development state"
+  framing; the dependency-path diagram's v0.7 step updated from
+  "(v0.7, implemented, unreleased)" to "(released as `0.7.0`)"; v0.8-v0.10
+  preserved verbatim as future/unimplemented.
+- **ARCHITECTURE.md**: "Current package architecture" section's package
+  version reference bumped to `0.7.0` and its CLI-command/export-surface
+  list corrected to include the three v0.7 commands and the v0.7
+  programmatic surface (a factual completeness fix - the list was stale
+  even before this release, only naming v0.6's five commands); the v0.7
+  constraints-section heading and one inline reference changed from
+  "implemented, unreleased" to "released as `0.7.0`". No architectural
+  detail was rewritten or invented.
+- **CONTRACTS.md**: the v0.7 direction-section heading and all eight
+  per-Prompt "Implemented, unreleased." status sentences changed to
+  "Released as `0.7.0`."; three "current published" version references
+  (`@0.6.0`) bumped to `0.7.0`. No contract detail was rewritten.
+- **WORKFLOWS.md**: seven "implemented, unreleased"/"published and current
+  in 0.6.0"/"@0.6.0" occurrences updated to reflect `0.7.0` as current;
+  the "Future workflows (v0.8-v0.10)" section's v0.7 recap paragraph and
+  pipeline-diagram step updated from "unreleased" to "released as
+  `0.7.0`" while the v0.8-v0.10 future-work content itself was left
+  unchanged.
+- **COMMANDS.md**: the three v0.7 commands' "Current status: implemented,
+  unreleased (v0.7 Prompt N)" lines changed to "Current status: shipped as
+  part of the published `my-frontend-observer@0.7.0` package.", matching
+  the exact phrasing convention every other command in this file already
+  uses. Verified against `node dist/cli.js <command> --help` after the
+  version bump - all documented flags match the built help text.
+- **SECURITY.md**: the external-reference security-boundary section heading
+  and its "implemented in the current development state, on top of the
+  still-published `0.6.0` package" sentence updated to "released as part of
+  the published `0.7.0` package"; the "Not yet addressed" section's stale
+  `@0.6.0`/"implemented and unreleased" references updated to `0.7.0` and
+  to cite the completed readiness report. No security boundary claim was
+  added or removed - only release-state wording changed.
+- **CI_CD.md**: appended one new "## v0.7 packed-candidate coverage
+  (released as `0.7.0`)" section, in the exact same style/precedent as the
+  existing v0.2-v0.6 sections, documenting the closed v0.7 readiness gap,
+  citing GitHub Actions run `34054085344` at commit `b2286bd`, and
+  explicitly stating that the validated candidate tarball
+  (`my-frontend-observer-0.6.0.tgz`, SHA-256
+  `0347b1f3cfd5d311e13b405c0c2fbc2f507e250cb63223d58b4d2d31df029414`) was
+  the **pre-version-bump implementation candidate** - never claiming that
+  tarball itself was version `0.7.0`.
+- **RELEASE.md**: rewritten to describe `v0.7.0` as release-prepared (not
+  yet claiming npm-publication-only facts), preserving the standardized
+  release-note structure and the "Prior releases" list (now including
+  `0.6.0`). The release procedure itself is unchanged.
+- **PROJECT_DESCRIPTION.md / PROJECT_MILESTONES.md**: inspected; contain no
+  current-version/release-status field. Left unchanged, per instruction not
+  to rewrite durable intent/milestone documents.
+- **DOCUMENTATION_PRESERVATION_POLICY.md**: inspected; contains no
+  version-status field. Unchanged.
+
+## ROADMAP preservation
+
+- Version-order and section structure verified unchanged: `## v0.1` through
+  `## v0.10` headers appear in the same order, same titles, as before this
+  task.
+- Only the v0.7 section's "Current status" line was changed, from
+  "implemented in the current development state (Prompts 1-8), unreleased
+  - package version remains `0.6.0`" to "released as `0.7.0`" (matching the
+  exact phrasing convention every other version's status line in this file
+  already uses) plus an added citation of the pre-release readiness report.
+- A repository-wide grep for `Prompt ` / `Batch ` in `docs/ROADMAP.md`
+  returned zero matches - no implementation-batch narrative was
+  introduced or existed already.
+- Full v0.8-v0.10 planning content is untouched and still present in full.
+
+## Package metadata consistency
+
+Verified: `name` (`my-frontend-observer`), `version` (`0.7.0` in both
+`package.json` and `package-lock.json`), `engines.node` (`>=24`,
+unchanged), `bin` (`{"my-frontend-observer": "dist/cli.js"}`, unchanged),
+`exports` (`{".": "./dist/index.js"}`, unchanged), `files`
+(`["dist", "README.md", "CHANGELOG.md", "docs"]`, unchanged - existing
+policy already correct), and `scripts` (unchanged - `typecheck`, `lint`,
+`test`, `test:browser`, `test:security`, `build`, `check:docs`,
+`prebuild`). No dependency version was touched. The public package surface
+was not expanded beyond what v0.7 implementation already added.
+
+## File hygiene audit
+
+- `.gitignore` already covers `.my-dev-kit-workflow/`,
+  `.my-dev-kit-context/`, `.my-dev-kit-orchestrator/`, `.my-dev-kit/`,
+  `node_modules/`, `dist/`, `coverage/`, `observations/`, `*.tgz` - no
+  change was needed or made.
+- No `.npmignore` exists (package inclusion is governed entirely by
+  `package.json`'s `files` field, per existing repository convention).
+- `git status --short` before staging showed exactly the fourteen
+  intentionally-edited tracked files (`CHANGELOG.md`, `README.md`, ten
+  `docs/*.md` files, `package.json`, `package-lock.json`) plus the new
+  `docs/reports/v0.7-release-prep.md` - no untracked file was staged
+  blindly, and `git add .`/`git add -A` were never used.
+- All project-owned temporary release-prep state (npm cache, Playwright
+  browser downloads, generated tarballs, pack-dry-run JSON transcripts,
+  packed-smoke summaries) was kept under
+  `Z:\Users\newuser\Projects\my-frontend-observer\.my-dev-kit-workflow\`,
+  never under `C:\`. This directory was never staged.
+
+## Required exclusions confirmed
+
+`npm pack --dry-run --json` inventory (208 entries) contains no
+`.my-dev-kit-workflow/`, `.my-dev-kit-context/`, `.my-dev-kit-orchestrator/`,
+`node_modules/`, local index, tool install, candidate tarball, temporary
+consumer workspace, test output, browser download, Prompt 1 stash content,
+or secret/private file. `docs/reports/` policy (broad inclusion of all
+`docs/**`) is pre-existing and intentional - confirmed unchanged rather
+than altered "simply because many v0.7 reports now exist," per instruction.
+The one net-new packaged file versus the pre-bump `0.6.0` dry-run
+(207 -> 208 entries) is `docs/reports/v0.7-pre-release-readiness.md` itself,
+already governed by the same pre-existing, intentional "docs broadly
+included" policy.
+
+## npm pack dry run result
+
+```
+name:    my-frontend-observer
+version: 0.7.0
+filename: my-frontend-observer-0.7.0.tgz
+entryCount: 208
+```
+
+Package name correct, version `0.7.0`, inventory safe (verified
+programmatically - zero entries matching `.my-dev-kit`/`node_modules`/
+`.tgz`), `README.md`/`CHANGELOG.md`/`package.json` present, expected v0.7
+built files (`dist/domain/externalReference*.js`,
+`dist/domain/referenceCorrectionWorkflow.js`,
+`dist/application/referenceFidelityEvaluationService.js`, etc.) present.
+
+## Actual tarball parity check
+
+Built the real `0.7.0` tarball (`npm pack --json`, output to
+`.my-dev-kit-workflow/readiness/`), extracted it read-only, and inspected
+its contents directly (not the dry-run):
+
+- `package/package.json` → `version: "0.7.0"`, `name: "my-frontend-observer"` ✓
+- `package/README.md` → "Current status" reads "`v0.7.0` ... is the
+  current published release"; zero occurrences of "unreleased" or "v0.6.0
+  ... current" in the packaged file; accurately describes v0.7.0
+  capabilities; v0.8+ still described as future. ✓
+- `package/CHANGELOG.md` → top section is `## 0.7.0 - 2026-09-06`,
+  finalized. ✓
+
+The generated tarball and its extracted-inspection directory were deleted
+after inspection (`.my-dev-kit-workflow/readiness/my-frontend-observer-0.7.0.tgz`
+and `.my-dev-kit-workflow/readiness/tarball-inspect/`), and repository
+state confirmed clean afterward (`git status --short` showed only the
+intentional tracked-file edits, no stray files).
+
+## Packed public-surface smoke
+
+Ran the existing (v0.7-extended) `scripts/ci/runPackedObservationSmoke.mjs`
+directly against the actual `0.7.0` tarball, installed fresh into a
+disposable consumer workspace:
+
+- `summary.packageVersion` = `"0.7.0"` (installed package self-reports the
+  correct version).
+- `summary.pass` = `true`; `summary.v06PackedSmokeOk` = `true`;
+  `summary.v07PackedSmokeOk` = `true` (every v0.1-v0.6 assertion and every
+  v0.7 assertion - CLI help, import/approve-reference, explicit
+  `--state-file`, fidelity PASS/FAIL with/without `--enforce`, and the
+  programmatic `evaluateReferenceCandidateFidelityFromArtifactRoots`/
+  `prepareReferenceCorrection`/`reviewReferenceCorrectionAttempt` exports -
+  all passed against the installed `0.7.0` package, never the source
+  checkout).
+
+## Full local validation (post-version-bump)
+
+| Step | Result |
+|---|---|
+| `npm run typecheck` | clean |
+| `npm run lint` | clean |
+| `npm test` | **1000/1000** unit tests passed (unchanged from pre-bump) |
+| `npm run test:browser` | **124/124** browser tests passed (unchanged from pre-bump; real Chromium) |
+| `npm run test:security` | **68/68** passed (5 + 63; unchanged) |
+| `npm run build` | clean |
+| `npm run check:docs` | "Documentation check passed (17 required files)." |
+| `git diff --check` | clean |
+| `npm pack --dry-run` | 208 entries, safe (see above) |
+
+No test count changed after the version bump - confirming the bump did not
+invalidate any existing behavior.
+
+## Version-identity review
+
+Producer/package version is read dynamically at runtime
+(`getProducerInfo()` → `readPackageVersion()` from the installed/built
+`package.json`) and is **never** an input to any hashed logical identity
+function in this repository (`buildRequestIdentity`,
+`buildObservationIdentity`, `buildComparisonIdentity`,
+`buildExternalReferenceRequestIdentity`,
+`buildBoundedAgentContextRequestIdentity`,
+`buildReferenceCorrectionReviewIdentity`, etc. - verified by inspecting
+each identity-builder's parameter list). It is provenance-only, recorded
+in each artifact's `producer: {name, version}` field. Five unit-test files
+(`externalReference.test.ts`, `externalReferenceArtifactWriter.test.ts`,
+`externalReferenceCompatibility.test.ts`, `externalReferenceFidelity.test.ts`,
+`externalReferenceRuntimeBinding.test.ts`) embed a literal
+`producer: { name: 'my-frontend-observer', version: '0.6.0' }` fixture
+object as synthetic test data - none of them call `getProducerInfo()` and
+assert equality against it, so none were affected by the bump (confirmed
+by the unchanged 1000/1000 pass count) and none were edited, per the
+instruction not to "fix" tests that were never actually broken.
+
+## npm target version final precheck
+
+```
+npm view my-frontend-observer@0.7.0 version -> E404 (not found)
+```
+
+Reconfirmed immediately before the release-prep commit: still unpublished.
+
+## Release-prep commit
+
+Reviewed before staging:
+
+```
+git status --short   -> 14 modified files + 1 new report, exactly as intended
+git diff --check     -> clean
+git diff --name-only -> CHANGELOG.md, README.md, docs/ARCHITECTURE.md,
+                         docs/CI_CD.md, docs/COMMANDS.md, docs/CONTRACTS.md,
+                         docs/CURRENT_STATE.md, docs/PROJECT_OVERVIEW.md,
+                         docs/RELEASE.md, docs/ROADMAP.md, docs/SECURITY.md,
+                         docs/WORKFLOWS.md, package-lock.json, package.json
+```
+
+Staged explicitly by name (never `git add .`/`git add -A`) and committed as
+one release-prep commit, "Prepare v0.7.0 release", on `release/v0.7.0`.
+This report is included in that same commit, following this repository's
+own precedent (the `0.6.0` release-prep commit, `294298c`, likewise bundled
+every release-state doc change into one commit).
+
+No git tag was created. No push occurred (see push policy below).
+
+## Push policy
+
+Not pushed. `release/v0.1.0` through `release/v0.6.0` all exist on the
+remote, but in every prior version's history the release-branch commit
+("Prepare vX.Y.0 GitHub release") was the same commit that immediately
+preceded the actual tag/npm-publish/GitHub-Release/merge sequence - there
+is no prior precedent in this repository for a distinct, separately-gated
+"release prep produced but not yet published" remote branch state (no
+`docs/reports/*-release-prep.md` exists for any earlier version; this is
+the first time that separate stage exists at all). Per this task's own
+default ("do not push unless established precedent explicitly requires
+it") and the absence of such precedent, `release/v0.7.0` was kept local
+only. Pushing it, opening a PR, tagging, and publishing all remain part of
+the separate, later, explicitly-approved publication workflow.
+
+## Remaining risks
+
+- None product-relevant. No new defect was discovered during release prep.
+- `docs/RELEASE.md` intentionally avoids an outright "is published to npm"
+  claim (unlike the historical `0.6.0` release-prep wording) because that
+  fact is not yet true; the publication workflow should update it to match
+  the established phrasing once `npm publish` actually occurs.
+- `release/v0.7.0` remains local-only; the publication workflow will need
+  to push it (or open a PR from it) before tagging/publishing, per its own
+  established process.
+
+## Final verdict
+
+**`PASS_READY_TO_PUBLISH_AFTER_USER_APPROVAL`**
+
+All conditions in the task's PASS-verdict checklist are satisfied: the
+prior gate was `PASS_READY_FOR_RELEASE_PREP`; the release branch is based
+on the complete readiness lineage (`4b2a51c` → `b2286bd` → `c57eb07`); npm
+confirms `0.7.0` is unpublished (checked twice, before and after all
+edits); `package.json`/`package-lock.json` are both `0.7.0`; the
+`CHANGELOG.md` `0.7.0` entry is finalized with real user-visible content
+and no batch narrative; README/CURRENT_STATE/ARCHITECTURE/CONTRACTS/
+WORKFLOWS/COMMANDS/SECURITY/CI_CD/RELEASE are all final for `0.7.0` with no
+remaining "future/unreleased/pending" wording (verified by a
+repository-wide grep); v0.8-v0.10 remain explicitly future everywhere;
+ROADMAP's version order, full v0.8-v0.10 planning, and absence of any
+implementation-batch narrative are all preserved; package metadata is
+internally consistent; file hygiene is correct (no `git add -A`, no
+workflow state staged); the dry-run and the actual built tarball are both
+safe and correctly versioned; the packed README/CHANGELOG parity checks and
+the installed public-surface smoke (CLI + programmatic, v0.1-v0.7) all
+passed against the real `0.7.0` tarball; full local validation passed
+identically before and after the version bump (no test-count regression);
+the target npm version is still unpublished as of the final precheck; no
+tag, GitHub Release, or npm publish occurred; the release-prep commit
+exists on `release/v0.7.0`; and the working tree is clean.
+
+This verdict means release preparation is complete - it does **not** mean
+publication is authorized.
+
+## Exact next action
+
+Await explicit user approval to run the standardized v0.7.0 publication
+workflow.
