+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to the TRACE specification will be documented here.
+
+Format: [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/). Spec versions follow `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`:
+- **MAJOR**: breaking changes to wire format or required Trust Record fields
+- **MINOR**: new optional fields, new platform profiles, new conformance levels
+- **PATCH**: editorial fixes, clarifications, non-normative additions
+
+---
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+## [0.4.0]
+
+### Added
+
+- **`azure-cvm-sev-snp` platform** — Azure confidential VMs run AMD SEV-SNP behind a Hyper-V paravisor: the SNP report is read from the vTPM (the guest does not control `REPORT_DATA`), so the runtime binding rides a vTPM AK-signed quote rather than the SNP `report_data`. Given its own `runtime.platform` value (distinct from `amd-sev-snp`) so a consumer keying on `runtime.platform` knows the root of trust is vTPM-rooted, not direct-silicon. Added to the `RuntimeInfo` model and the JSON schema enum. Hardware-validated on a live Azure SEV-SNP VM via cMCP.
+
+- `delegation` (optional object): the A2A profile delegation-link block, carrying `parent_record_hash` (digest of the parent hop's Trust Record) and `credential_id` (the delegation credential this hop acted under). A chain of records linked this way forms an offline-verifiable delegation DAG. Backward-compatible: existing records without `delegation` remain valid. This is a MINOR (additive) change and the foundation of the forthcoming A2A profile; A2A is now stable at v1.x, clearing the prior blocker.
+
+---
+
+## [0.3.0] — 2026-06-30
+
+### Security
+
+- `verify_record` now requires an explicit trusted key. Self-verification from the embedded `cnf.jwk` is no longer the default; use `allow_embedded_key=True` to opt in.
+- Verification enforces freshness (`iat` / `max_age_seconds`, default 24h) and an optional `expected_nonce`. JWK `kty` / `crv` are validated.
+
+### Breaking
+
+- **BREAKING:** Canonicalization is now RFC 8785 (JCS). Trust records are NOT cross-verifiable with 0.2.0 (the prior `json.dumps` canonicalization was non-conformant).
+
+---

+
+> **Developer Preview.** Launching at Confidential Computing Summit, June 23 2026.
+
+An open specification for hardware-attested AI agent governance records. TRACE defines the format, anchoring protocol, and verification rules for cryptographically provable evidence that an AI agent ran under a specific policy, in a verified hardware environment, on classified data, invoking identified tools — bound into a single signed artifact rooted in silicon attestation.
+
+A TRACE Trust Record answers: _what ran, where, under which policy, touching which data, calling which tools_ — in a form any third party can verify without trusting the operator.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+pip install agentrust-trace
+```
+
+```python
+from agentrust_trace import TrustRecord, sign_record
+
+record = TrustRecord(
+    subject="spiffe://trust.example.org/agent/payments-processor",
+    model_id="claude-sonnet-4-6",
+    platform="amd-sev-snp",
+    policy_hash="sha256:b2c3d4...",
+)
+signed = sign_record(record, key=signing_key)
+```

+## Standards alignment
+
+Targeting the [Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF)](https://agenticai.foundation) at the Linux Foundation. Active standardization track in [CoSAI WS4](https://github.com/oasis-open-projects/coalition-for-secure-ai). Builds on [RFC 9711 (EAT)](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9711), [RFC 9334 (RATS)](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9334), and SCITT draft-22.
+
+## Frequently asked questions
+
+### What is TRACE?
+
+TRACE (Trust Runtime Attestation and Compliance Evidence) is an open specification for hardware-attested AI agent governance records. It defines the record format, the anchoring protocol, and the verification rules for cryptographic evidence that an AI agent ran under a specific policy, in a verified hardware environment, on a given data class, invoking identified tools.
+
+### What does a TRACE Trust Record prove?
+
+A single signed Trust Record answers, in a form any third party can verify without trusting the operator: what model ran, where it ran, under which policy, what data class it touched, which tools were called, and whether the record is independently anchored to a SCITT transparency ledger.
+
+### What standards is TRACE built on?
+
+TRACE builds on open IETF and IRTF standards: RFC 9711 (CBOR Web Token / EAT) for the claim envelope, RFC 9334 (RATS) for the attester, verifier, and relying-party roles, and the SCITT draft for transparency-ledger anchoring. It is designed for CoSAI WS4 interoperability.
+
+### How do I create and verify a Trust Record?
+
+Install the Python library with `pip install agentrust-trace`, sign a record with `TrustRecord.sign(claims, signing_key)`, anchor it to a SCITT ledger with `record.anchor()`, and check it with `record.verify(verifying_key)`.
+
+### How does TRACE relate to AGT and cMCP?
+
+TRACE is the evidence format. AGT and cMCP produce and consume Trust Records, so you can connect them into an end-to-end agent governance pipeline. See the integration guides for details.
+
+### What is the current status of TRACE?
+
+The current specification is TRACE v0.1, published with a conformance test suite. See the Limitations page for scope boundaries before relying on it in production.

+# Privacy
+
+agentrust-trace (the TRACE SDK) collects and transmits no personal data.
+
+It runs locally as a Python library. It processes only the inputs you give it, entirely on your machine, and sends no telemetry, analytics, or usage data to agentrust-io, OPAQUE, or any third party. There is no account, login, or tracking, and no cookies or background network calls.
+
+Any network activity is user-initiated: anchoring a record to a SCITT transparency service happens only when you explicitly call it, to the endpoint you configure.
+
+Uninstalling removes it completely. Questions or corrections: https://github.com/agentrust-io/trace-spec/issues
