+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and

+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify

+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the

+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each

+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+# @midnight-ntwrk/credential-compact
+
+> Release stage: `supported`
+> Maturity: `core`
+> Package class: `dist`
+
+Supported prerelease package for reusable, family-neutral Compact VC/VP
+semantics. This is a library include surface, not a deployable contract,
+credential family, proof artifact, or registry authority.
+
+## Scope
+
+The package contains generic VC/VP envelopes, schema references, issuer and
+holder-binding shapes, proof/challenge primitives, issuance and presentation
+message envelopes, VC-side status-binding shapes, and VC/VP linkage helpers.
+`StatusRegistryRef` is vocabulary only: this package does not authenticate
+registry mutation, roots, time, witnesses, or final non-membership.
+
+`verification-v1`, family claims and predicates, status-registry authority,
+proving/deployment artifacts, wallets, signing keys, witnesses, secrets, and
+use-case code are deliberately excluded.
+
+## Toolchain and generated output
+
+The candidate is compiled and checked with the pinned Compact `0.30.0` compiler
+and exactly `@midnight-ntwrk/compact-runtime` `0.15.0`. Builds fail before
+generated output is accepted if either resolved version drifts. `src/managed` and
+`dist` are generated during build and are not hand-edited.
+`dist/compact-build.json` records the exact compiler/runtime tuple, source digest,
+and generated-artifact digest.
+
+Only `./credentials.compact` and `./holder-binding/same-holder.compact` are
+standalone roots. `./holder-binding/same-holder/composable.compact` is an
+explicit composition fragment: include `credentials/bindings` (or the full
+`credentials` root) first, then include the fragment exactly once. The other
+credential leaf modules remain packaged for internal composition but are not
+advertised as standalone exports because they rely on declarations supplied by
+the shared root.
+
+The external consumer gate compiles both standalone roots and the composition
+fragment, then runs positive and negative same-holder vectors (different holder
+secret, challenge, and binding) against each generated contract. This is a pure
+binding predicate and adds no family or business semantics.
+
+## Compatibility and ownership
+
+The old private `@midnight-ntwrk/midnight-did-credentials` package remains an
+internal compatibility facade for one migration cycle and receives no new API.
+The old same-holder package remains private and unchanged as a compatibility
+implementation. Technical ownership is the VC package maintainers; support and
+publication ownership remain unassigned until a separate graduation review.
+ADR-0014 remains **Proposed**; this candidate records an implementation graph,
+not normative ADR acceptance.
+
+## Usage boundary
+
+Consumers must use the package name and explicit exports, never repository
+relative includes or `src`/`managed` paths. Candidate tarball and clean-consumer
+checks compile every advertised Compact entrypoint outside this repository.
