+Changes must preserve the one-repository/one-distribution boundary, Apache-2.0
+headers and metadata, exact Core pin, deterministic wire contracts, and Catalog
+authority boundaries. Public contract changes require an approved authoritative
+design update before implementation.
+
+Install `.[test]`, run the commands in the README, and include tests and contract
+fixtures for behavioral changes. Pull requests must pass all supported Python
+versions and the reproducible-package job. Do not commit generated artifacts,
+credentials, provider endpoints, Engine-specific options, or cross-repository
+source copies.

+      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
+      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
+
+      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
+      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
+      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
+      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
+      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
+
+      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including

+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,

+      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.
+
+   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
+      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
+      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
+      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
+      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,

+      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
+      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
+      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
+      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
+      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
+      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
+      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
+      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
+      as of the date such litigation is filed.
+
+   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
+      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
+      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
+      meet the following conditions:
+
+      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
+          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
+
+      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
+          stating that You changed the files; and
+
+      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
+          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
+          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
+          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
+          the Derivative Works; and
+
+      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
+          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
+          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
+          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
+          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
+          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
+          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
+          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
+          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
+          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
+          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
+          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
+          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
+          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
+          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
+          as modifying the License.
+
+      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
+      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
+      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
+      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
+      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
+      the conditions stated in this License.
+
+   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
+      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
+      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
+      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
+      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
+      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
+      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
+
+   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
+      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
+      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
+      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
+
+   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
+      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
+      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
+      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
+      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
+      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
+      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
+      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
+      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
+
+   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
+      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
+      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
+      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
+      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
+      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
+      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
+      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
+      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
+      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
+      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
+      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
+      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
+      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
+      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.
+
+   END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
+
+   APPENDIX: How to apply the Apache License to your work.

+# Meridian Storage Semantics
+
+`meridian-storage-semantics` is the independently released Meridian V1 logical
+schema, resource, data, and query-facing metadata package. It provides portable
+contracts for Records, Relations, Objects, cache entries, dynamic Schema
+publication, compatibility classification, multilingual ICU metadata, and Core
+mapping-first Catalog surfaces.
+
+The distribution contains one Python package, `meridian_storage.semantics`, and
+depends on the released `meridian-storage-core==1.0.0` contract. The shared
+`meridian_storage` import root is packaging infrastructure; this repository does
+not contain Core source or any other Meridian package.
+
+## Install
+
+```console
+python -m pip install meridian-storage-semantics==1.0.0
+```
+
+Python 3.12 or newer is required.
+
+## Define and publish a Schema
+
+```python
+from meridian_storage.semantics import InMemoryMetadataRepository, SchemaAPI
+
+schemas = SchemaAPI(InMemoryMetadataRepository())
+published = schemas.publish(
+    namespace="investigation",
+    name="case",
+    version="1.0.0",
+    definition={
+        "semanticKind": "relational",
+        "fields": [
+            {"name": "case_id", "logicalType": "uuid"},
+            {"name": "title", "logicalType": "string"},
+        ],
+        "identity": ["case_id"],
+    },
+)
+
+assert published.publication.document.format_version == "meridian.schema.v1"
+```
+
+Schema versions are immutable. Publishing an identical version and fingerprint
+is idempotent; a different document under the same version is rejected. New
+versions are ordered by SemVer and classified before activation.
+
+## Build mapping-first Expressions
+
+```python
+from meridian_storage.semantics import StructuredCatalogProvider
+
+provider = StructuredCatalogProvider()
+expression = provider.create_surface().query(
+    resource="investigation.cases",
+    where={"status": {"eq": "open"}},
+    select=("case_id", "title"),
+    limit=50,
+)
+operation = provider.normalize(expression)
+```
+
+Consumers create serializable Core `Expression` values. Planning normalizes them
+to portable `Operation` values. Engine selection, credentials, provisioning,
+physical DDL, ACLs, migration execution, and lifecycle remain Adapter/Platform
+responsibilities and are not accepted by these APIs.
+
+## Catalog registry
+
+The V1 registry is exactly:
+
+- `structured` — owned here; relational, document, key-value, search,
+  geospatial, time-series, and relation profiles.
+- `object` — owned by `meridian-storage-object-common`; object, artifact, and
+  media profiles. This package supplies their logical metadata values.
+- `cache` — owned here; explicit, non-authoritative cache semantics.
+- `evidence` — owned by `meridian-storage-evidence`; telemetry, audit, lineage,
+  and provenance profiles.
+- `streaming` — accepted-pending and owned by the downstream streaming package.
+
+Query, projection, ontology, search, geospatial, time-series, relation,
+artifact, media, telemetry, audit, lineage, and provenance are not Catalogs.
+`NativeQuery` is post-V1. No Kafka or streaming-provider behavior is embedded.
+
+## Contracts and verification
+
+Language-neutral JSON contracts live in [`contracts`](contracts), including the
+canonical `meridian.schema.v1` schema, wire documents, public API ledger, exact
+Catalog registry, and valid/invalid conformance fixtures. Compatibility with
+Core and the design revisions is pinned in [`compatibility.json`](compatibility.json).
+
+Run all local gates after installing test dependencies:
+
+```console
+python -m pip install '.[test]'
+ruff format --check src tests scripts
+ruff check src tests scripts
+mypy src
+python scripts/verify_contracts.py
+pytest --cov=meridian_storage.semantics --cov-report=term-missing
+```
+
+Release builds are created twice with a fixed `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`, compared
+byte-for-byte, inspected for repository/package boundaries and license metadata,
+and accompanied by SPDX SBOM and GitHub build-provenance attestations.
+
+Further detail is in [`docs/contracts.md`](docs/contracts.md) and
+[`docs/architecture.md`](docs/architecture.md).
