 The maintained 2026-08-13 comparison used Node 24.14.0 and an Intel Core i5-9500 Linux x64 host, one warm-up, and seven alternating fresh-process samples against clean `v0.8.44`. A narrow fast path skips Kudzu semantic transformation for 450 plain `.ts` modules whose runtime edges are exclusively resolvable relative TypeScript imports or exports; all other modules retain the existing transformer. Compile median fell from 2,323.9 ms to 1,413.2 ms (39.2%) and clean-build median from 3,325.3 ms to 2,382.4 ms (28.4%); every paired sample improved. Compile peak-RSS median fell from 571.2 MiB to 552.6 MiB, while build peak RSS was 570.9 MiB versus 568.8 MiB. Compiler scratch fell from 7,328,390 to 1,971,061 bytes. Both targets emitted the same 50 static HTML files, 10,980 bytes, and deploy SHA-256 `e107d78a7f55bc8a1af0ea6e53efeffa19b3d44d21c892484d103fa346e7ba7b`.

 # Kudzu Releases
 
+## 0.13.0 - Production Form And Server Validation
+
+Kudzu 0.13.0 compiles an accessible issue-creation form from ordinary TSX
+without adding a form runtime, field registry, or metadata proxy.
+
+### Changed in 0.13.0
+
+- Added a native issue form with `required` and `minLength` constraints,
+  keyboard submission, `FormData`, and application-owned pending state.
+- Preserved field-level and form-level server errors, focused and ARIA-linked
+  field feedback, valid input across failures, and retry without re-entry.
+- Reused existing state, ref, conditional, binding, and async handler semantics;
+  production compiler and runtime source remain unchanged.
+- Updated `create-kudzu@0.1.118` to generate projects on
+  `@kudzujs/core@^0.13.0`.
+
+### Output Evidence
+
+- The application emits 44 files totaling 127,343 raw / 46,261 aggregate gzip
+  bytes with deploy digest
+  `183f5a7ca081f99ae38de6974e61fdcb32ca49de699359aac053d0154ae38036`.
+- The maintained two-route session uses 17 JavaScript files totaling 62,118 raw
+  / 23,096 aggregate gzip bytes; `/help` remains 0 B JavaScript.
+- No semantic primitive, IR kind, compiler pass, production compiler/runtime
+  line, runtime concept, public API, form registry, schema adapter, or form
+  runtime was added.
+
+### Validation
+
+- Required Chrome sends real Enter key input and proves native empty and
+  minimum-length constraints make zero requests.
+- Deterministic delayed `422`, `503`, and `201` responses prove pending state,
+  exact request counts, field and form feedback, retained input, and retry.
+- Seven fresh Chrome profiles record a 3.6 ms list-to-detail median with a
+  2.6-5.6 ms range. This measures the changed destination form and handler, not
+  a same-content compiler/runtime regression.
+
+### Limits
+
+Nested fields, field arrays, dirty/touched metadata, dynamic schemas, and form
+registries remain unsupported. The `0.13.1` packet must first prove which of
+those behaviors cannot be expressed with native controls and ordinary state.
+
+### Upgrade
+
+```sh
+npm install @kudzujs/core@^0.13.0
+```

 - **Done condition:** complete accessible create/edit behavior passes without a
   form runtime.
 
+**Completion evidence:** the maintained Alpha project detail now authors one
+ordinary uncontrolled issue form with native `required` and `minLength`
+constraints, `FormData`, three route-owned primitive states, one object ref, and
+one async submit handler. Required Chrome sends real Enter key events through
+the browser input domain and proves empty and short titles make zero requests.
+For valid input, the deterministic server returns a delayed `422` field error,
+then a `503` form error, then a `201` success. The journey verifies pending
+disable/label state, title focus, `aria-invalid` and `aria-describedby` linkage,
+alert/status roles, exact attempt/create counts, retry without re-entry, and
+retention of the valid title and description through every response.
+
+The existing native-form, state, ref, conditional, binding, and handler
+semantics cover the complete packet. Production compiler and runtime source do
+not change. The application route grows from 20 to 70 authored lines and emits
+one additional route handler file; no form package, registration API, proxy
+metadata graph, schema adapter, semantic primitive, IR kind, compiler pass,
+runtime concept, public API, or browser runtime file is added. `/help` remains
+complete HTML with 0 B JavaScript.
+
+The project application emits 44 files totaling 127,343 raw / 46,261 aggregate
+gzip bytes with deploy SHA-256
+`183f5a7ca081f99ae38de6974e61fdcb32ca49de699359aac053d0154ae38036`.
+The two-route session uses 17 JavaScript files totaling 62,118 raw / 23,096
+aggregate gzip bytes, 992 raw / 433 gzip bytes above `0.12.4`; the detail route
+itself adds the same 992 raw bytes and 440 gzip bytes. Seven fresh Linux x64
+Chrome 142 profiles record list-to-detail samples of
+`[3.8, 5.6, 4.3, 2.6, 2.9, 3.6, 3.1]` ms, a 3.6 ms median and 2.6/5.6 ms range.
+The range does not overlap `0.12.4`; this is the measured cost of adding the
+form DOM and route-specific handler to the destination application route, not a
+same-content compiler/runtime comparison or a latency improvement claim.
