 Notable changes per release. Dates are UTC.
 
+## [0.9.0-solo-test.1] — 2026-07-27
+
+This package is the first **0.9.0 solo-test prerelease**, not a formal production-GA release.
+`package.json`, the Claude/Codex plugin surfaces, marketplace metadata and
+`data/build-profile.v1.json` all declare `0.9.0-solo-test.1`.
+
+The public package uses npm's `next` dist-tag and the GitHub release is marked as a
+pre-release. Exact `0.9.0-solo-test.1` installation is supported while `latest` stays on the
+production-facing 0.8.0 line and the stable `0.9.0` version remains unoccupied until the
+formal GA gates pass.
+
+### Solo-test assurance boundary
+
+- Exactly 26 physical PersonaPack v3 packs are packaged under the isolated solo-test root.
+- Exactly 52 executable tools are present, all marked `provisional_derived_proxy`.
+- All 26 seats remain provisional `operator_lens`; operational seats: **0**;
+  `method_model` seats: **0**.
+- Human source approvals: **0**; human formula approvals: **0**; human approval signatures:
+  **0**. Project-derived proxies are test fixtures, not named-investor method attribution.
+- All 32 archived source candidates now have hash-bound machine pre-review artifacts. Three
+  isolated AI roles produce 96 deterministic triage outputs with explicit questions and
+  verdicts, while `human_reviewed=false` and `production_effect=none` keep the trusted
+  human-review quorum and production gate fail-closed.
+- The production loader rejects all 26 solo-test packs. Formal production assembly,
+  cutover, rollback evidence and GA remain fail-closed until the outstanding human-review,
+  experiment, host and release gates pass.
+- Source and installed-package validation are now separated: a source checkout verifies its
+  private/raw staging tree when present, while an installed package runs a real MCP selection
+  and receipt-replay smoke instead of reporting a misleading zero-test pass.
+
+Exact verification commands and the observed status are recorded in
+`docs/solo-test-0.9.0.md`.
+
+### Added in the first 0.9.0 increment
+
+- **A mandatory per-run master chooser.** `begin_council_selection` freezes the current
+  catalog and returns every seat with a stable number, identity, method, best-use case and
+  maturity. `confirm_master_selection` accepts one seat, any combination, ranges, stable IDs
+  or `all`, then issues a short-lived one-run receipt.
+- **Server-side enforcement rather than prompt etiquette.** `plan_visible_run`,
+  `collect_evidence` and `analyze_symbol` reject an absent, stale, replayed, cross-symbol or
+  cross-intent receipt before creating a run or fetching data. Confirm and consume operations
+  use exclusive file locks so separate host processes cannot spend the same selection twice.
+  Run starts also hold an exclusive lock: concurrent retries create one lifecycle, while a
+  completed same-receipt retry loads existing state instead of erasing packets or paying for
+  the council again.
+- **Text-complete four-host interaction.** Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Grok may enhance
+  the chooser with native multi-select, but all share the numbered text grammar and the same
+  MCP receipt. A named master is only preselected; the catalog is still displayed and the
+  user still submits this run's choice.
+- **Headless master execution.** The one-call analysis path now actually runs the selected
+  masters between evidence and debate. A failed selected seat stays missing and prevents a
+  false `complete` status.
+- **Selection audit fields.** `status.json` records the catalog/selection hashes, selected,
+  completed and pending masters, counts, per-seat state and the consumed selection ID.
+- **The five missing requested seats are now selectable.** Damodaran, Ackman, Cathie Wood,
+  Pabrai and Jhunjhunwala expand the active catalog from 21 to exactly 26. The complete
+  26-seat solo-test tree now loads only through the explicit provisional path as
+  `operator_lens`; none is mislabeled as operational or as a completed v3 method model.
+- **Cryptographic PersonaPack admission and release foundations.** Experiment results now use
+  Ed25519 attestations bound to the exact artifact/corpus/policy/tool/prompt hashes;
+  `method_model` promotion stays fused closed until explicitly enabled after all gates pass.
+  Source review and release operations each require two distinct trusted principals, so
+  repeated keys or copied reviewer names cannot manufacture independence.
+- **Immutable 26-pack publication and rollback.** The assembler accepts only one complete
+  operational-or-higher 26-seat tree, verifies signed source-adjudication ledgers, embeds and
+  hashes their evidence, then publishes by same-filesystem fsync and atomic rename. Signed
+  cutover/rollback approvals produce immutable versioned pointer history.
+- **A fail-closed GA verifier.** The real immutable release manifest is checked against the
+  production pack hashes. A separate signed evidence document must cover Claude Code,
+  Codex, OpenCode, Grok, the installed package, cutover and rollback. The previous unsigned
+  combined-JSON shape is rejected rather than accepted as self-certification.
+
+### In progress, not yet a production-GA claim
+
+- Migrate all 26 seats to PersonaPack v3 with sourced doctrine, private research plans,
+  typed computations, native decisions, hard vetoes, calibration and ablation tests.
+- Pass the A-E comparison ladder: single-agent baseline; 8 analysts; 8 analysts plus selected
+  masters; verifier-enabled council; and blinded human reference answers. Seat count is never
+  treated as independent sample count.
+
+Implementation tracker: `docs/plans/0.9.0-personapack-v3.md`.

+product
+
+## Users
+
+AlphaCouncil serves investors, analysts, researchers, and technically capable users who run public-equity research from Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or Grok Build. They may be making a quick research pass or assembling a deeper investment-committee record, and they need to understand the time, cost, evidence coverage, and method lenses they are choosing before work begins.
+
+## Product Purpose
+
+AlphaCouncil turns a listed-equity question into an auditable research workflow: specialist evidence collection, selected investor-method lenses, verification, bull/bear debate, and a portfolio-manager decision with durable artifacts. Success means the user controls which method seats run, every selected seat is actually completed, material claims remain traceable to sources, and every supported host executes the same workflow contract.
+
+## Brand Personality
+
+Precise, rigorous, transparent. The product should communicate expert confidence without theatrical certainty. It should make cost, missing evidence, method limits, and incomplete work visible instead of hiding them behind polished prose.
+
+## Anti-references
+
+- A one-click AI stock picker that starts expensive work without showing what will run.
+- A casino-like voting screen that treats correlated persona outputs as independent votes.
+- Celebrity role-play whose only differentiation is a name, portrait, quote, or speaking style.
+- A dense configuration wizard that asks users to decide technical details they do not need to understand.
+- Host-specific workflows whose controls or completion rules drift between Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Grok Build.
+
+## Design Principles
+
+1. User choice before spend: every council run requires an explicit, one-run master selection.
+2. Explain the method, not the celebrity: each selectable master states what it examines, where it abstains, and its maturity.
+3. Progressive disclosure: show a compact grouped roster first, preserve access to all individual seats, and make select-all explicit.
+4. Native when available, text-complete everywhere: use a host's multi-select control when it exists, with an equivalent numbered or ID-based fallback.
+5. Selection is a contract: persist the exact selected IDs and catalog version, and block execution until the selection is confirmed.
+
+## Accessibility & Inclusion
+
+The complete selection workflow must work by keyboard and in plain text without relying on color, pointer input, hover, images, or a particular host widget. Labels and descriptions must support the run language, preserve stable persona IDs, expose selected count and validation errors, and remain usable with screen readers and narrow terminal widths. Motion is not required. Host-native controls must retain an equivalent textual fallback.
