+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to this project are documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/), and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). Pre-1.0, breaking changes are signalled by a minor version bump.
+
+## [0.1.0] - 2026-07-22
+
+First publish. `rcf-verify-lite` v1 — a fresh-context adversarial verifier for the RCF Lite suite.
+
+### Added
+
+- **`rcf-verify` CLI and the v1 verifier engine** ([#48](https://github.com/Stravica/rcf-lite/pull/48)): given an RCF chain (the acceptance contract) and a running instance under a declared runtime profile, it launches an isolated verifier agent that walks real user journeys adversarially — trying to *disprove* the app against its acceptance criteria — and emits a structured verdict stamped with the runtime it ran against. The verifier never reads the source tree, the test suite, or the builder's self-report; its only inputs are the chain and the live URL, which is what makes the verdict independent. Both surfaces of the §6 contract are served by one engine: the build-side finalise gate (invoked as a fresh subprocess by `rcf finalise`) and the operator-invoked CLI.
+- **Runtime-profile model**: verdicts carry the runtime they ran against (`deployed` / `ci` / `local-dev`); a SHIP verdict is only issued from a `deployed` or declared-parity environment.
+- **Shared isolation env**: spawned under `@stravica-ai/rcf-lite-core`'s §7.3 isolation recipe so the verifier agent starts cold with zero build context.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- **Default-launcher ship-blockers** ([#49](https://github.com/Stravica/rcf-lite/pull/49)): network permissions for the launched verifier, more robust report ingestion, and a structured `LAUNCH-FAILURE` report when the instance under test cannot be reached — the launch path no longer fails silently or ambiguously.

+# @stravica-ai/rcf-verify-lite
+
+A **fresh-context adversarial verifier** for the RCF Lite suite.
+
+Given an RCF chain (the acceptance contract) and a **running instance** of an
+app under a **declared runtime profile**, `rcf-verify` launches an isolated
+verifier agent that walks real user journeys adversarially — trying to
+*disprove* the app against its acceptance criteria — and emits a **structured
+verdict stamped with the runtime it ran against**.
+
+It never reads the source tree, the test suite, or the builder's self-report.
+Its only inputs are the chain and the live URL. That information disjointness
+is what makes it an *independent* ship-readiness verdict rather than another
+self-check.
+
+> **Honest limit.** Verify does not make an app "fully verified" or "safe". It
+> **replaces the ship-readiness verdict with an independent one.** An agent
+> cannot fully adversarially test its own build; verify mitigates that blind
+> spot, it does not eliminate it.
+
+## Install
+
+```
+npm i @stravica-ai/rcf-build-lite @stravica-ai/rcf-verify-lite
+```
+
+The two are independently installable (verify alone for CI; build alone if
+truly wanted), but installing together is the recommended default.
+
+## Usage
+
+```
+rcf-verify run \
+  --repo <path-to-rcf-chain> \
+  --profile <deployed|ci|local-dev> \
+  --url <running-app-url> \
+  --out report.json \
+  [--parity-env] [--provision creds.json] \
+  [--severity-gate BROKEN] [--provision-mode run|skip] [--persona name]
+
+rcf-verify report report.json     # re-render a prior report
+rcf-verify provision ...          # stand up prerequisites standalone
+rcf-verify cleanup ...            # tear down provisioned 'zzverify-' artefacts
+rcf-verify mcp                    # serve over MCP (local stdio)
+```
+
+### Runtime profiles
+
+| Profile | Verdict authority |
+|---|---|
+| `deployed` | SHIP-readiness verdict (the ship gate). A local/unreachable URL under `deployed` yields `NOT-DEPLOYED`, never a soft pass. |
+| `ci` | Correctness/regression verdict. Ship gate **only** with `--parity-env`. |
+| `local-dev` | Correctness/regression verdict. Never a ship gate. |
+
+`localhost` is a first-class target under `ci`/`local-dev`. What is forbidden
+is a lower profile claiming the authority of `deployed`.
+
+### Exit codes (`run`)
+
+```
+0  report written, verdict below the severity gate
+1  IO / unexpected runtime failure (incl. verifier-agent launch failure)
+2  usage error
+3  chain could not be loaded
+5  severity gate tripped, or NOT-DEPLOYED / BLOCKED
+```
+
+## Verifier-agent launcher
+
+Verify launches an isolated fresh agent (Claude Code by default) with the
+proven isolation env (`CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY=1` +
+`CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1`) and browser tooling; that agent
+drives the running app and returns structured findings. The launcher is
+injectable via the `RCF_VERIFY_LAUNCHER` env var (a module exporting
+`launchAgent`) — the seam used for integration harnesses and the recorded
+manual e2e.
