 format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/) and

+## [0.4.2] - 2026-06-29
+
+Crypto backend consolidation (middle path).
+
+### Changed
+- **`matrixscroll.crypto_backend`** — all Ed25519 sign/verify/keygen and
+  security-relevant SHA-256 hashing route through the `cryptography` package
+  (native wheels; no user Rust toolchain).
+- **Dependency** — `cryptography>=42.0` is now required (was `>=41.0`).
+- **Docs** — `docs/CRYPTO_BACKEND.md`, README security note, SECURITY_PROPERTIES
+  backend section.
+
+### Removed
+- Scattered direct `cryptography` / `hashlib` calls in providers and gate paths
+  in favor of the centralized backend module (Git SHA-1 wire hashing unchanged).
+
+## [0.4.1] - 2026-06-29
+
+Universal provenance SDK expansion and SSX360 Scroll Phase 1 wrapper.
+
+### Added
+- **`matrixscroll.provenance`** — action envelope builders for `ci_step`, `iac_change`,
+  `db_migration`, `api_call`, and `contract_deploy` (`schemas/action-envelope.v1.json`).
+- **`matrixscroll sign-action`** CLI — sign typed action envelopes with Ed25519.
+- **`matrixscroll scroll commit`** — thin Git wrapper (Phase 1; not a Git replacement).
+- **MCP** — `sign_action` validates typed payloads; new `matrixscroll://schema/action-envelope.v1` resource.
+- **Docs** — SSX360 Scroll brief, Scroll Gate v2 SLSA L1–2 honest mapping.

+# Cryptographic backend (middle path)
+
+Matrix Scroll v0.4.2+ routes all Ed25519 and security-relevant SHA-256
+operations through a single Python module: `matrixscroll/crypto_backend.py`.
+
+## Design
+
+| Approach | What users install | Crypto implementation |
+| -------- | ------------------ | --------------------- |
+| **Full Rust rewrite** | Python SDK + Rust extension build chain | Custom PyO3/maturin crate |
+| **Middle path (this release)** | `pip install matrixscroll` only | `cryptography` wheels (OpenSSL + Rust components) |
+| **Pure Python fallback** | No native deps | Not used — removed from the reference SDK |
+
+The middle path keeps the public Python API, CLI, and MCP surface unchanged while
+moving primitive work onto battle-tested native code shipped inside official
+`cryptography` wheels. Users never run `cargo` or `maturin`.
+
+## Primitives
+
+| Operation | Module API | Underlying primitive |
+| --------- | ---------- | -------------------- |
+| Ed25519 key generation | `generate_ed25519_private_key()` | `cryptography.hazmat.primitives.asymmetric.ed25519` |
+| Ed25519 sign / verify | `ed25519_sign`, `ed25519_verify` | Same |
+| SHA-256 (device IDs, gate digests, Rekor bridge) | `sha256`, `sha256_hex` | `cryptography.hazmat.primitives.hashes.SHA256` |
+
+Git object hashing (`hashlib.sha1` in `matrixscroll/git.py`) stays on the
+stdlib because it implements Git wire-format identifiers, not provenance
+signatures.
+
+## Optional provider paths
+
+- **Emulated / TPM mock / SE050 mock** — software Ed25519 via this backend.
+- **SE050 hardware** — signing occurs on the secure element; the host verifies
+  responses with the same backend where needed.
+- **YubiKey PIV preview** — experimental ECDSA path; not part of the v1 Ed25519
+  contract and not routed through Ed25519 helpers here.
+
+## Dependency pin
+
+`pyproject.toml` requires `cryptography>=42.0` as a mandatory (non-optional)
+dependency.
+
+## Diagnostics
+
+```python
+from matrixscroll.crypto_backend import backend_info
+print(backend_info())

+# Matrix Scroll security properties
+
+Machine-checkable guarantees for the reference SDK (v0.4.2). Properties marked
+**verified** have Hypothesis property tests in `tests/test_security_properties.py`.
+Formal TLA+ models are on the public roadmap.
+
+| ID | Property | Statement | Status |
+| -- | -------- | ----------- | ------ |
+| **P1** | Sign–verify roundtrip | For any canonical manifest bytes, `verify(pub, msg, sign(msg, key))` is true when `pub` derives from the same key material. | **Verified** (Hypothesis) |
+| **P2** | Tamper detection | Changing any signed byte (manifest body or signature octet) causes verification to fail. | **Verified** (Hypothesis) |
+| **P3** | Wrong-key rejection | A signature valid under key A MUST NOT verify under key B's public key. | **Verified** (Hypothesis) |
+| **P4** | Canonical determinism | Identical logical manifests produce identical signing input bytes after canonical JSON encoding (sorted keys, ASCII escapes, no NaN). | **Verified** (unit + vectors) |
+| **P5** | Offline verification | Envelope verification requires no network, hosted API, or hardware ping once the envelope and trusted key set are local. | **Verified** (unit) |
+| **P6** | Algorithm binding | Only Ed25519 (RFC 8032) signatures with `algorithm: "ed25519"` are accepted; other algorithms are rejected. | **Verified** (unit + vectors) |
+
+## Cryptographic backend
+
+All Ed25519 and security-relevant SHA-256 operations in the reference SDK route
+through `matrixscroll/crypto_backend.py`, backed by the [`cryptography`](https://pypi.org/project/cryptography/)
+package (official wheels bundle OpenSSL and Rust components; users install with
+`pip install matrixscroll` only). There is no pure-Python Ed25519 fallback.
+
+See [`CRYPTO_BACKEND.md`](CRYPTO_BACKEND.md) for the middle-path design vs a full
+Rust rewrite.
+
+## Standards alignment
+
+- **Ed25519:** [RFC 8032](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8032) — 32-byte seed, 32-byte public key, 64-byte signature.
+- **Canonical JSON:** Deterministic UTF-8 encoding per [`SPEC.md`](../SPEC.md) §4.
+- **Commit envelopes:** `matrixscroll.commit_envelope.v1` schema in [`schemas/commit-envelope.v1.json`](../schemas/commit-envelope.v1.json).
+
+## Trust modes (honest scope)
+
+| Mode | Private key location | Shipping status |
+| ---- | -------------------- | --------------- |
+| **Emulated** | Owner-only file (`~/.matrixscroll/device.json`, mode 0600) | **Shipping today** |
+| **Hardware (SE050)** | NXP secure element on AP2 Vault Card pilot | **Pilot / preview** — same verifier contract, key not exportable from chip |
+
+## Roadmap (not claimed today)
+
+- TLA+ specification of Scroll Gate merge semantics
+- Third-party cryptographic audit and public threat model
+- npm `@ssx360/verify` browser/Node verifier package
+- IETF informational draft for commit-envelope wire format
+
+See [`SECURITY.md`](../SECURITY.md) for vulnerability reporting.
