+ ## 0.2.51 (2026-09-09) — the retired PCI density label, and why a pointer did not save it
8
+
9
+ Paired with **Enterprise 0.46.0 / Community 0.2.53**. **NOT a floor bump: Community stays
10
+ `>= 0.2.49`.** Plugin enumeration unchanged at 29 Enterprise plugins.
11
+
12
+ `references/plugins.md` read *"MVP-67 density: 67 of ~250 sub-requirements"*. The Enterprise
13
+ 0.46.0 cycle derived the PCI eligibility set from PCI DSS v4.0.1 itself rather than from a
14
+ transcribed list, and the enumeration moved to **72 — 19 covered, 9 partial, 44 declared out of
15
+ scope with a stated reason**. `MVP-67` is a retired LABEL, not merely a stale number: it names a
16
+ density programme the product no longer runs, so there is no correct figure to put after `MVP-`.
17
+
18
+ ⚠️ **The line already carried the right instruction and it did not help.** It said, and still
19
+ says, *call `compliance_matrix` for the current triple* — a pointer at a derived source sitting
20
+ directly beside a transcribed number. **A pointer beside a hard-coded figure does not stop the
21
+ figure rotting; only removing the figure does.** That is the durable half of this entry.

25
+ ## 0.2.50 (2026-09-07) — the NTP-withdrawal release
26
+
27
+ Paired with **Enterprise 0.45.0 / Community 0.2.52**. **NOT a floor bump: Community stays `>= 0.2.49`.**
28
+
29
+ **The teaching change is a REFUSAL rule: the NTP clock attestation is WITHDRAWN.** `utils/ntp_probe.mjs`
30
+ is deleted, the compliance phase's clock stage is a withdrawal record, and the three `complianceNtp*`
31
+ options are gone. An agent must not describe it, offer it, or plan around it.
32
+ **WITHDRAWN, and never real: there is no `NSAUDITOR_NTP_*` environment variable and there never was one.**
33
+ **`COMPLIANCE_NTP_STRICT` is WITHDRAWN too** — it was published to auditors and read by zero code in
34
+ either repo. **It is not on a roadmap either**, which inverts the
35
+ previous guidance: a hedge like "planned" or "not yet wired" is now a promise about unscheduled work
36
+ rather than a disclosure.
37
+
38
+ **Why, because a user will ask.** The probe accepted any reply of at least 48 bytes carrying a non-null
39
+ transmit timestamp and nothing else — no mode byte, no stratum check, no originate-timestamp echo — so
40
+ over unauthenticated UDP a datagram of the right shape produced a false clean reading, or a false abort
41
+ in strict mode, while the word printed beside it was *attestation*. And it measured the SCANNER's own
42
+ host clock, while every framework control about time synchronisation (PCI DSS 10.6.1, NIST SP 800-171 3.3.7, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 A.8.17 and CIS v8 8.4 — and NOT NIST CSF 2.0, which has no time-synchronisation subcategory at all) asks about the customer's estate.
43
+
44
+ **Point users at opt-in RFC 3161 timestamping instead** — `NSAUDITOR_TSA_URL`, an outbound call to a
45
+ third party and off by default; the `.tsr` time comes from the authority rather than from this host.
46
+
47
+ **⚠️ The attestation's SHAPE did not change.** `scan_attestation_<fw>.json` still carries all six `ntp`
48
+ keys, now as constants, because the envelope is a frozen schema id and every pack a customer already
49
+ holds carries them. A null `probedAt` is not a failed probe.
50
+
51
+ Plugin catalog UNCHANGED at 29 EE; all eight coverage matrices UNCHANGED.

  **Prior: 0.2.48** — paired with **Enterprise 0.43.0 / Community 0.2.50**. ⚠️ **NOT a floor bump: Community stays >= 0.2.49**, derived rather than reflexive — the one Community behaviour the Enterprise fix depends on already shipped there. New in this release's teaching: **a provider badge is now trustworthy** (an Enterprise scan whose cloud SDK failed to load used to report that provider as *audited*, because a plugin result carrying neither an error nor a skip flag falls through to `ran` and `auditedProviders` derives from `ran`; eighteen refusals across seventeen AWS and GCP plugins now carry their cause, so such a provider reads `errored` and drops out — a provider disappearing after upgrade is the fix, not a regression), and **an evidence gap states a cause, never an instruction** (the engine quoted whole thrown messages, so the loaders' `Install: npm install <pkg>@latest` reached the gap text of 7 SOC 2 / 2 GDPR / 12 NIST SP 800-171 controls — never quote a gap line to a user as remediation, and note that under air-gapped operation it cannot be followed at all). The two causes are now distinct — `plugin skipped:` vs `scanner error:` — because the remedies differ; and a GDPR Art. 32 report now fails closed on an Azure refusal where it previously failed nothing.
