-# Changelog
-
-## 1.3.0 - unreleased
-
-Adds FIPS 204 / FIPS 205 context string support. Purely additive: the
-cryptographic surface for every existing call site is byte-for-byte unchanged,
-and all 39 pinned vectors still match.
-
-### Added
-- **Optional `context` on `mlDsa.sign` / `mlDsa.verify`** via a trailing options
-  object, `{ context }`. At most 255 bytes per FIPS 204 section 5.2; strings are
-  encoded as UTF-8. A signature made under a context does not verify without it
-  or under a different one. Closes a real incompleteness relative to FIPS 204:
-  the library previously could not verify a counterparty's signature that used a
-  context.
-- **The same option on `slhDsa.sign` / `slhDsa.verify`**, on the same terms.
-  Added alongside ML-DSA rather than after it, because one signature module
-  accepting an options object while its sibling silently ignored one would be a
-  footgun.
-- `MAX_CONTEXT_BYTES` (255) exported from both modules.
-- `test/context.test.js`, 26 tests, including cross-verification against
-  third-party ML-DSA-65 signatures produced by OpenSSL through Python
-  `cryptography`, covering five context shapes: short, single-byte, the 255-byte
-  maximum, binary, and multi-byte UTF-8.
-
-### Notes
-- **No behaviour change without the new argument.** Omitting `opts` takes the
-  identical code path as before. An empty context is collapsed to no context,
-  which is what FIPS 204 specifies and what was verified empirically.
-- **Misuse throws rather than returning `false`.** A context over 255 bytes, a
-  wrongly typed context, or a bare value passed where an options object belongs
-  raises `RangeError` / `TypeError`. These are caller bugs, not failed
-  verifications, and swallowing them would hide a signature that silently
-  carried no domain separation. No existing call site passes the argument, so
-  nothing can regress.
-- Works identically on `@noble/post-quantum` 0.6.1 and 0.7.0, verified on both,
-  so this release is independent of the 0.7.0 upgrade.
-
-## 1.2.1 — 2026-07-22
-
-Metadata alignment. No code changes; cryptographic surface is byte-for-byte
-identical to `1.2.0` (all 39 pinned vectors match).
-
-### Changed
-- **License now `Apache-2.0`** in package metadata, matching the repository
-  LICENSE. `1.2.0` was published declaring `MIT` from a pre-relicense branch;
-  this release corrects the published license to the canonical `Apache-2.0`.
-- `author` set to **Shayne Heffernan and John Heffernan**.
-- README security note corrected: `@noble/post-quantum` was **not** in scope
-  of Cure53's 2023 `@noble` audit (which covered `ciphers`/`curves`/`hashes`)
-  and is maintainer self-audited — the prior "audited by Cure53 (2024)"
-  wording was inaccurate. See `AUDIT.md`.
-
-## 1.2.0 — 2026-07-22
-
-Adds SLH-DSA (FIPS 205) and modernises the underlying primitive engine to
-`@noble/post-quantum@0.6.1`. **No breaking changes for consumers** — the
-public API and all previously pinned outputs are byte-for-byte identical.
-
-### Added
-- **`slhDsa` — SLH-DSA-SHA2-192s (NIST FIPS 205)**, exported both from the
-  package root and the `kxco-post-quantum/slh-dsa` subpath. Hash-based,
-  stateless signatures at Security Category 3 (matching ML-DSA-65), whose
-  security rests only on SHA-2 — the conservative hedge alongside the
-  lattice-based ML-DSA-65. Deterministic `keypairFromMaster(master, info?)`
-  via the same HKDF-SHA-512 derivation, plus `sign` / `verify`. Public key
-  48 bytes, secret key 96 bytes, signature 16224 bytes.
-- Test vectors extended to pin SLH-DSA keypairs and round-trip (39 checks,
-  up from 29).
-
-### Changed
-- **`@noble/post-quantum` bumped `^0.2.1` → `^0.6.1`** — the FIPS 203/204/205
-  final reference implementation. The engine's public API changed argument
-  order for signature `sign`/`verify` and requires `.js` in subpath imports;
-  both are absorbed inside this package's wrappers, so no downstream package
-  or caller is affected.
-- Description and keywords updated to reflect SLH-DSA / FIPS 205 coverage.
-
-### Verification
-- 11 node tests pass, 7 browser-smoke tests pass, 39 pinned vectors pass.
-- **Compatibility gate:** every ML-DSA-65, ML-KEM-768, HKDF, fingerprint and
-  webhook vector pinned under `@noble/post-quantum@0.2.1` still matches
-  bit-for-bit under `0.6.1`. Deterministic keys derived from existing KXCO
-  master secrets — including Armature L1 identities — are unchanged.

-
-## [Unreleased]
-
-## [1.1.2] — 2026-05-22
-
-Documentation correction. No code changes; no behaviour changes; no
-cryptographic surface changes vs `1.1.1`.
-
-### Fixed
-- **AUDIT.md** §1 previously cited a 2024 Cure53 audit of
-  `@noble/post-quantum`. That citation was incorrect — Cure53's 2023
-  NDS-01 audit covered `@noble/ciphers`, `@noble/curves`, and
-  `@noble/hashes` only; the post-quantum package was not in scope. As of
-  2026-05-22, upstream `@noble/post-quantum` has only been self-audited
-  by its maintainer (v0.6.1, April 2026). AUDIT.md §1 has been rewritten
-  to reflect the actual upstream audit posture. A correction notice is
-  included at the top of the file. Reviewers who relied on the prior
-  citation should re-read §1 of AUDIT.md.
-- **CHANGELOG.md** 1.0.0 entry similarly stated "audited by Cure53,
-  2024" alongside the upstream pin. That sentence has been corrected
-  in-place in this release; the substance of the 1.0.0 release is
-  otherwise unchanged.
-
-### Why this is a patch, not an advisory
-The misstatement was in documentation only. No code path, signature,
-key-derivation routine, or wire format depends on the cited audit. The
-fix is a documentation rewrite; affected installs upgrade by pulling
-1.1.2. If your due-diligence pack referenced AUDIT.md from 1.0.1
-through 1.1.1, please refresh against 1.1.2.
-
-## [1.1.1] — 2026-05-21
-
-Operational hardening release. No source-code changes; this is the first
-release published via **npm Trusted Publishing** rather than a long-lived
-`NPM_TOKEN`.
-
-### Changed
-- `.github/workflows/publish.yml` now publishes via npm Trusted Publishing
-  (OIDC). The `NODE_AUTH_TOKEN` / `NPM_OTP` env vars are removed; the
-  workflow's `id-token: write` permission is the entire credential.
-  Registered at https://www.npmjs.com/package/kxco-post-quantum/access
-  binding `org=JackKXCO`, `repo=kxco-post-quantum`, `workflow=publish.yml`.
-- Repo-level `NPM_TOKEN` and `NPM_OTP` secrets removed — no long-lived
-  credentials remain in the publishing path.
-
-### Why this matters
-- Every release tarball is now signed by GitHub Actions OIDC against the
-  exact commit being published, with no human-held secret in the loop.
-- No more burning recovery codes per release. The publish workflow now
-  runs hands-free on every `v*` tag push.
-
-## [1.1.0] — 2026-05-21
-
-Same API. Same byte-for-byte outputs (all 29 pinned vectors still match).
-The package now runs in **browsers** as well as Node.
-
-### Added
-- Isomorphic runtime — every module works identically in modern browsers
-  (Chromium, Firefox, Safari) and Node, served from CDNs like esm.sh
-  with zero polyfill burden
-- `test/browser-smoke.test.js` runs the public API with `globalThis.Buffer`
-  removed, asserts plain `Uint8Array` outputs and a clean hybrid-signing
-  round trip — proves browser compatibility in CI
-
-### Changed
-- HKDF-SHA-512 now sourced from `@noble/hashes/hkdf` (was `node:crypto`)
-- HMAC-SHA-256 now sourced from `@noble/hashes/hmac` (was `node:crypto`)
-- SHA-256 for kid fingerprints now sourced from `@noble/hashes/sha256`
-  (was `node:crypto`)
-- Constant-time comparisons are portable byte loops (replaces
-  `node:crypto.timingSafeEqual`) — identical security property,
-  runs in browsers
-- Functions return `Buffer` on Node (when `globalThis.Buffer` is defined)
-  and plain `Uint8Array` in browsers. **Backwards compatible** for Node
-  callers; `Buffer extends Uint8Array` so any code accepting `Uint8Array`
-  already works.
-- `engines.node` bumped to `>=20.19` to match the underlying
-  `@noble/hashes@2` requirement (Node 18 is past EOL)
-
-### Dependencies
-- Added `@noble/hashes ^2.2.0` (peer of `@noble/post-quantum`)
-- `@noble/post-quantum ^0.2.1` unchanged
-
-### Verification
-- 9 node tests pass
-- 6 browser-smoke tests pass
-- 29 pinned vectors still match — no cryptographic surface changes,
-  bit-for-bit identical to 1.0.3 in Node
-
-## [1.0.3] — 2026-05-21
-
-First release ships with SLSA Level 2 provenance attestation tied to a
-public GitHub Actions workflow run. No cryptographic surface changes
-vs `1.0.2` — every diff is metadata, types, CI, and hygiene.
-
-### Added
-- SLSA Level 2 provenance on every published release via GitHub Actions OIDC
-  (`publishConfig.provenance: true`)
-- `.github/workflows/publish.yml` triggered by `v*` tags — runs tests then
-  `npm publish --provenance --access public`
-- `.github/workflows/ci.yml` matrix over Node 18 / 20 / 22 on every push and PR
-- Hand-written TypeScript declarations (`.d.ts`) for all six modules; wired
-  into `exports[*].types` so TypeScript consumers get full typings without
-  any build step
-- `.github/dependabot.yml` — weekly npm + github-actions ecosystem checks
-- `sideEffects: false` for tree-shaking
-- `funding` field in `package.json`
-- Top-level `"types"` field in `package.json` pointing at `./src/index.d.ts`
-
-### Changed
-- `package.json` `files` allowlist tightened to `["src", "README.md", "LICENSE",
-  "SECURITY.md", "CHANGELOG.md"]` — locks down what ships to npm
-- `package.json` `exports` now declares per-subpath `types` + `import` keys
-- `SECURITY.md` rewritten in the standard short-form template with explicit
-  in-scope / out-of-scope split delegating primitive bugs upstream to
-  `@noble/post-quantum`
-- All third-party actions in workflows pinned by 40-char commit SHA, never
-  floating tags
-- README badge row trimmed to four (`npm`, `license`, `Socket`, `production-live`)
-  and a 60-second live-verify quickstart added under the title
-
-### Security
-- No cryptographic code changed in this release — every change is metadata,
-  types, CI, and documentation. Production behaviour is bit-for-bit identical
-  to `1.0.2`.
-
-## [1.0.2] — 2026-05-21
-
-### Changed
-- Repository URL on the npm package metadata now points to
-  `github.com/JackKXCO/kxco-post-quantum`. No code change.
-
-## [1.0.1] — 2026-05-21
-
-### Added
-- `AUDIT.md` — self-attested audit posture with roadmap (external audit
-  Q3 2026, public bug bounty Q4 2026, FIPS 140-3 CMVP application 2027)
-- `test/vectors.json` — 29 deterministic test vectors pinning every primitive
-  output bit-for-bit
-- `test/run-vectors.js` — runner anyone can use to verify reproducibility
-- `npm test` runs both the functional tests and vector verification
-- `npm run test:vectors` for vector check only
-
-### Changed
-- `SECURITY.md` sharpened with explicit threat model and pinned upstream
-  `@noble/post-quantum@0.2.1` integrity hash
-- `README.md` "Used in production at" section with file refs to chain.kxco.ai
-
-No API changes from `1.0.0`.
-
-## [1.0.0] — 2026-05-21
-
-First stable release. Committed public API surface:
-
-- `mlDsa.keypairFromMaster(master, info—)`, `mlDsa.sign`, `mlDsa.verify`
-- `mlKem.keypairFromMaster(master, info—)`, `mlKem.encapsulate`, `mlKem.decapsulate`
-- `deriveSeed(master, info, length)`
-- `fingerprint(publicKey)`, `kidEquals(a, b)`
-- `webhook.envelope`, `webhook.hmacHex`, `webhook.verifyHmac`,
-  `webhook.pqSign`, `webhook.verifyPq`, `webhook.signDelivery`,
-  `webhook.verifyDelivery`
-
-Verified at release: 9/9 functional tests + 29/29 vector checks pass.
-
-Underlying primitives via `@noble/post-quantum@^0.2.1`. See `AUDIT.md` for
-upstream audit posture (no third-party audit of the PQ package; self-audited
-by maintainer at v0.6.1, April 2026). ESM-only. Node.js 18+.

+# Changelog
+
+## 1.4.0
+
+Adds the Security Category 5 parameter sets, and publishes conformance and
+interoperability evidence for everything the package computes.
+
+Additive throughout. Two new modules appear under `src/`, and no existing module,
+export, default or call path changes: the dependency set is unchanged, the
+default parameter sets stay at Category 3, and all 39 pinned vectors still match
+bit-for-bit. Nothing here can alter the behaviour of an existing call site.
+
+### Added
+- **`mlDsa87` (ML-DSA-87) and `mlKem1024` (ML-KEM-1024)**, Security Category 5,
+  as new modules with the same API as their Category 3 counterparts. Purely
+  additive: no existing module, export or call path changes, and the KXCO
+  default stays Category 3. Subpath exports `./ml-dsa-87` and `./ml-kem-1024`.
+  Both are exercised by the ACVP harness and the interop matrix through their
+  wrapper path, not only as primitives.
+
+  Default derivation info differs from the Category 3 modules
+  (`ml-dsa-87-v1`, `ml-kem-1024-v1`), so one master yields unrelated keys per
+  parameter set rather than colliding, and `test/category5.test.js` asserts that
+  a signature from one set does not verify under the other in either direction.
+
+  **Supporting these sets is not a CNSA 2.0 compliance claim.** CNSA 2.0 names
+  both, and compliance is a property of a deployment rather than of an available
+  function: the KXCO estate signs at Category 3, including Armature L1 from
+  block 0 and every issued KXCO ID, none of which these modules change. The
+  accurate sentence is "supports ML-DSA-87 and ML-KEM-1024". This is stated in
+  both module headers, both type declarations, the README, MIGRATION.md and
+  CONFORMANCE.md, because it is the claim most likely to drift.
+
+  Sizes, since they are the real migration cost: ML-DSA-87 public key 2592 and
+  signature 4627 bytes, against 1952 and 3309 at ML-DSA-65. ML-KEM-1024 public
+  key and ciphertext 1568 bytes each, against 1184 and 1088. The ML-KEM shared
+  secret stays 32 bytes at both sets, so downstream key derivation is unaffected.
+- **`conformance/`, a NIST ACVP harness** for FIPS 203, 204 and 205, covering
+  every parameter set NIST publishes vectors for: ML-KEM-512/768/1024,
+  ML-DSA-44/65/87 and all twelve SLH-DSA sets. The signature sets cover the
+  external and internal interfaces, pure and pre-hashed, external-mu, and
+  deterministic and randomized signing. Vectors are pinned by upstream commit
+  and per-file SHA-256 in `conformance/acvp-lock.json`, so a rewritten upstream
+  file fails the fetch instead of quietly changing the result.
+- **`conformance/interop/`, a cross-implementation matrix** against Bouncy
+  Castle (Java) and dilithium-py / kyber-py (Python), neither of which shares
+  code with our backend. Every check runs in both directions, and includes
+  negative controls: a tampered signature that the peer must reject, and a
+  corrupted ML-KEM ciphertext that must decapsulate to an unrelated secret.
+  Without those, a peer that always returned true would pass the whole matrix.
+- **`CONFORMANCE.md`** reporting both, including what the evidence does not
+  cover: no side-channel claim, no FIPS 140-3 validation, no CNSA 2.0
+  assertion, no protocol-level encoding claim.
+- **`THREAT-MODEL.md`** stating the security boundary. In particular it states
+  plainly that constant-time execution cannot be established from inside
+  JavaScript, that timing, cache and power attackers are therefore out of
+  scope, and what to do instead when a key needs to withstand them.
+- **`MIGRATION.md`** covering the add-then-remove path off RSA or ECDSA, and
+  version-to-version upgrades.
+- **`.github/workflows/conformance.yml`** running both harnesses on every push
+  and in full weekly, so the reports describe current behaviour rather than the
+  day someone ran them by hand. The SLH-DSA signature sets run as a separate job
+  because a full pass of them takes over an hour, and per-push runs subsample
+  with a per-group cap, which the generated report records so a subsampled run
+  cannot be mistaken for a full one.
+- **A CycloneDX SBOM generated during publish**, from the tree that was actually
+  installed for the build, and attached to the release artifacts.
+- Scripts: `conformance:fetch`, `conformance:acvp`, `conformance:interop`, `sbom`.
+
+### Notes
+- **The pre-hash skips in the ACVP report are the library being stricter than
+  NIST's sample files, not a coverage gap.** The backend refuses a pre-hash
+  whose collision strength is below the parameter set's security category;
+  NIST's vectors pair every approved hash with every parameter set. Those cases
+  are counted as skipped, never as passed.
+- **Hedged signing means wrapper signatures are not reproducible.** `sign` draws
+  fresh randomness per signature, which FIPS 204 permits and recommends, so the
+  byte-equality check does not apply on the wrapper path. It is asserted on the
+  backend path for the same parameter sets. This is reported rather than hidden.
+- **Provenance:** a release published from a workstation instead of through
+  `publish.yml` carries no npm attestation. The Trusted Publishing binding still
+  names the old `JackKXCO` org after the move to `KnightsbridgeAIQ` and needs
+  repointing before the OIDC path can work. See the comment in `publish.yml`.
+
+## 1.3.0
+
+Adds FIPS 204 / FIPS 205 context string support. Purely additive: the
+cryptographic surface for every existing call site is byte-for-byte unchanged,
+and all 39 pinned vectors still match.
+
+### Added
+- **Optional `context` on `mlDsa.sign` / `mlDsa.verify`** via a trailing options

+  or under a different one. Closes a real incompleteness relative to FIPS 204:
+  the library previously could not verify a counterparty's signature that used a
+  context.
+- **The same option on `slhDsa.sign` / `slhDsa.verify`**, on the same terms.
+  Added alongside ML-DSA rather than after it, because one signature module
+  accepting an options object while its sibling silently ignored one would be a
+  footgun.
+- `MAX_CONTEXT_BYTES` (255) exported from both modules.
+- `test/context.test.js`, 26 tests, including cross-verification against
+  third-party ML-DSA-65 signatures produced by OpenSSL through Python
+  `cryptography`, covering five context shapes: short, single-byte, the 255-byte
+  maximum, binary, and multi-byte UTF-8.
+
+### Notes

+  `@noble/hashes` only; the post-quantum package was not in scope. As of
+  2026-05-22, upstream `@noble/post-quantum` has only been self-audited
+  by its maintainer (v0.6.1, April 2026). AUDIT.md §1 has been rewritten
+  to reflect the actual upstream audit posture. A correction notice is
+  included at the top of the file. Reviewers who relied on the prior
+  citation should re-read §1 of AUDIT.md.
+- **CHANGELOG.md** 1.0.0 entry similarly stated "audited by Cure53,
+  2024" alongside the upstream pin. That sentence has been corrected
+  in-place in this release; the substance of the 1.0.0 release is
+  otherwise unchanged.
+
+### Why this is a patch, not an advisory
+The misstatement was in documentation only. No code path, signature,
+key-derivation routine, or wire format depends on the cited audit. The
+fix is a documentation rewrite; affected installs upgrade by pulling
+1.1.2. If your due-diligence pack referenced AUDIT.md from 1.0.1
+through 1.1.1, please refresh against 1.1.2.
+
+## [1.1.1] — 2026-05-21
+
+Operational hardening release. No source-code changes; this is the first
+release published via **npm Trusted Publishing** rather than a long-lived
+`NPM_TOKEN`.
+
+### Changed
+- `.github/workflows/publish.yml` now publishes via npm Trusted Publishing
+  (OIDC). The `NODE_AUTH_TOKEN` / `NPM_OTP` env vars are removed; the
+  workflow's `id-token: write` permission is the entire credential.
+  Registered at https://www.npmjs.com/package/kxco-post-quantum/access
+  binding `org=JackKXCO`, `repo=kxco-post-quantum`, `workflow=publish.yml`.
+- Repo-level `NPM_TOKEN` and `NPM_OTP` secrets removed — no long-lived
+  credentials remain in the publishing path.
+
+### Why this matters
+- Every release tarball is now signed by GitHub Actions OIDC against the
+  exact commit being published, with no human-held secret in the loop.
+- No more burning recovery codes per release. The publish workflow now
+  runs hands-free on every `v*` tag push.
+
+## [1.1.0] — 2026-05-21
+
+Same API. Same byte-for-byte outputs (all 29 pinned vectors still match).
+The package now runs in **browsers** as well as Node.
+
+### Added
+- Isomorphic runtime — every module works identically in modern browsers
+  (Chromium, Firefox, Safari) and Node, served from CDNs like esm.sh
+  with zero polyfill burden
+- `test/browser-smoke.test.js` runs the public API with `globalThis.Buffer`
+  removed, asserts plain `Uint8Array` outputs and a clean hybrid-signing
+  round trip — proves browser compatibility in CI
+
+### Changed
+- HKDF-SHA-512 now sourced from `@noble/hashes/hkdf` (was `node:crypto`)
+- HMAC-SHA-256 now sourced from `@noble/hashes/hmac` (was `node:crypto`)
+- SHA-256 for kid fingerprints now sourced from `@noble/hashes/sha256`
+  (was `node:crypto`)
+- Constant-time comparisons are portable byte loops (replaces
+  `node:crypto.timingSafeEqual`) — identical security property,
+  runs in browsers
+- Functions return `Buffer` on Node (when `globalThis.Buffer` is defined)
+  and plain `Uint8Array` in browsers. **Backwards compatible** for Node
+  callers; `Buffer extends Uint8Array` so any code accepting `Uint8Array`
+  already works.
+- `engines.node` bumped to `>=20.19` to match the underlying
+  `@noble/hashes@2` requirement (Node 18 is past EOL)
+
+### Dependencies
+- Added `@noble/hashes ^2.2.0` (peer of `@noble/post-quantum`)
+- `@noble/post-quantum ^0.2.1` unchanged
+
+### Verification
+- 9 node tests pass
+- 6 browser-smoke tests pass
+- 29 pinned vectors still match — no cryptographic surface changes,
+  bit-for-bit identical to 1.0.3 in Node
+
+## [1.0.3] — 2026-05-21
+
+First release ships with SLSA Level 2 provenance attestation tied to a
+public GitHub Actions workflow run. No cryptographic surface changes
+vs `1.0.2` — every diff is metadata, types, CI, and hygiene.
+
+### Added
+- SLSA Level 2 provenance on every published release via GitHub Actions OIDC
+  (`publishConfig.provenance: true`)
+- `.github/workflows/publish.yml` triggered by `v*` tags — runs tests then
+  `npm publish --provenance --access public`
+- `.github/workflows/ci.yml` matrix over Node 18 / 20 / 22 on every push and PR
+- Hand-written TypeScript declarations (`.d.ts`) for all six modules; wired
+  into `exports[*].types` so TypeScript consumers get full typings without
+  any build step
+- `.github/dependabot.yml` — weekly npm + github-actions ecosystem checks
+- `sideEffects: false` for tree-shaking
+- `funding` field in `package.json`
+- Top-level `"types"` field in `package.json` pointing at `./src/index.d.ts`
+
+### Changed
+- `package.json` `files` allowlist tightened to `["src", "README.md", "LICENSE",
+  "SECURITY.md", "CHANGELOG.md"]` — locks down what ships to npm
+- `package.json` `exports` now declares per-subpath `types` + `import` keys
+- `SECURITY.md` rewritten in the standard short-form template with explicit
+  in-scope / out-of-scope split delegating primitive bugs upstream to
+  `@noble/post-quantum`
+- All third-party actions in workflows pinned by 40-char commit SHA, never
+  floating tags
+- README badge row trimmed to four (`npm`, `license`, `Socket`, `production-live`)
+  and a 60-second live-verify quickstart added under the title
+
+### Security
+- No cryptographic code changed in this release — every change is metadata,
+  types, CI, and documentation. Production behaviour is bit-for-bit identical
+  to `1.0.2`.
+
+## [1.0.2] — 2026-05-21
+
+### Changed
+- Repository URL on the npm package metadata now points to
+  `github.com/JackKXCO/kxco-post-quantum`. No code change.
+
+## [1.0.1] — 2026-05-21
+
+### Added
+- `AUDIT.md` — self-attested audit posture with roadmap (external audit
+  Q3 2026, public bug bounty Q4 2026, FIPS 140-3 CMVP application 2027)
+- `test/vectors.json` — 29 deterministic test vectors pinning every primitive
+  output bit-for-bit
+- `test/run-vectors.js` — runner anyone can use to verify reproducibility
+- `npm test` runs both the functional tests and vector verification
+- `npm run test:vectors` for vector check only
+
+### Changed
+- `SECURITY.md` sharpened with explicit threat model and pinned upstream
+  `@noble/post-quantum@0.2.1` integrity hash
+- `README.md` "Used in production at" section with file refs to chain.kxco.ai
+
+No API changes from `1.0.0`.
+
+## [1.0.0] — 2026-05-21
+
+First stable release. Committed public API surface:
+
+- `mlDsa.keypairFromMaster(master, info—)`, `mlDsa.sign`, `mlDsa.verify`
+- `mlKem.keypairFromMaster(master, info—)`, `mlKem.encapsulate`, `mlKem.decapsulate`
+- `deriveSeed(master, info, length)`
+- `fingerprint(publicKey)`, `kidEquals(a, b)`
+- `webhook.envelope`, `webhook.hmacHex`, `webhook.verifyHmac`,
+  `webhook.pqSign`, `webhook.verifyPq`, `webhook.signDelivery`,
+  `webhook.verifyDelivery`
+
+Verified at release: 9/9 functional tests + 29/29 vector checks pass.
+
+Underlying primitives via `@noble/post-quantum@^0.2.1`. See `AUDIT.md` for
+upstream audit posture (no third-party audit of the PQ package; self-audited
+by maintainer at v0.6.1, April 2026). ESM-only. Node.js 18+.
