+## [4.0.0] - 2026-06-09 - v4.0 release: the Oracle Mesh (on top of the foundation models) + writer verification
+
+A major bump: the substrate now *composes* the biomolecular foundation models under one contract and verifies
+the writer enzyme itself. Workstreams WS-{O,WV,ATLAS}, each SHA-locked. No de-novo writer invention — score
+and critique only (the pen-assemble lesson).
+
+### Added
+- **WS-O - the oracle mesh.** `pen_stack/oracles/` with `OracleResult{value, provenance(model+version),
+  native_uncertainty, scope_card, in_scope, extrapolating, output_kind, available, cached}`. Adapters:
+  `genome.py` (AlphaGenome OOD-gated; Evo2 likelihood=claim / generation=candidate; ChromBPNet·Borzoi
+  baseline), `structure.py` (AlphaFold3/Boltz-2/Chai-1/Protenix + `consensus()` that widens the interval on
+  cross-oracle disagreement), `protein_design.py` (RFdiffusion/ProteinMPNN/ESM3 - all candidates), `rna.py`
+  (ViennaRNA - real, hard fold-legality), `energetics.py` (bridge off-target, MC3 gate ≥0.77).
+  `configs/oracles/scope_cards.yaml` (11 models); deterministic version-pinned `oracle_cache/`. Guard:
+  generative candidate `as_claim()` raises. `docs/oracles.md`; `prereg/ws_o.yaml`.
+- **WS-WV - writer verification.** `pen_stack/atlas/writer_verify.py`: DMS- + structure-grounded variant
+  scoring (measured=claimable, unmeasured=not), `blind_recovery` recovers N322P/H50K/R278M above
+  measured-worse controls, and `critique_candidate` (fold/active-site/deliverable/reachable) wired into
+  `verify()` as `Verdict.writer_critique` - always `no_claim=True`. `docs/writer_verification.md`;
+  `prereg/ws_wv.yaml`.
+- **WS-ATLAS - mesh upgrade + delivery oracle.** `wgenome/mesh_features.py` (OOD-gated feature hook + honest
+  blind re-validation reporting parity vs v3.x when oracles are deferred) + a computable
+  `delivery.aav_packaging_margin` soft rule (titre drops near the AAV capsid limit). `prereg/ws_atlas.yaml`.
+
+### Changed
+- Version 3.4.0 -> 4.0.0; `Verdict` gains `writer_critique`; M1 + writer-verification note + M2 updates.

+# The oracle mesh (v4.0, WS-O)
+
+PEN-STACK v4.0 sits **on top of** the biomolecular foundation models. `pen_stack.oracles` wraps them under one
+contract so their outputs can be composed, checked by the rule-grounded verifier, and trust-calibrated —
+without losing provenance, native uncertainty, or scope.
+
+## One contract: `OracleResult`
+
+Every adapter returns an `OracleResult`:
+
+```
+OracleResult{oracle, value, provenance{model, version, source, cache_key},
+             native_uncertainty, scope_card, in_scope, extrapolating,
+             output_kind ∈ {claim, candidate, baseline}, available, cached}
+```
+
+Three invariants are encoded in the type:
+
+1. **A generative output is a candidate, never a claim.** `output_kind="candidate"` (Evo2 generation, ESM3,
+   RFdiffusion, ProteinMPNN) → `as_claim()` **raises**. A candidate must pass writer-verification (WS-WV)
+   before any claim. (The pen-assemble lesson — 0 validatable de-novo writers — encoded in code.)
+2. **One contract for every oracle.** Provenance (model + version) and the model's *native* uncertainty are
+   always carried; every call is cache-keyed on `(oracle, model, version, inputs)` and replayable offline.
+3. **Scope is explicit.** Each result carries its scope-card id and an `extrapolating` flag; the field's
+   evidence that these models do not generalize to unseen loci is **labelled**, not hidden.
+
+## Wrapped models (scope cards in `configs/oracles/scope_cards.yaml`)
+
+| Family | Models | Output kind |
+|---|---|---|
+| `genome` | AlphaGenome (OOD-gated), Evo2 (likelihood=claim / generation=candidate), ChromBPNet·Borzoi (baseline) | claim / candidate / baseline |
+| `structure` | AlphaFold3, Boltz-2, Chai-1, Protenix + `consistency()` | claim |
+| `protein_design` | ESM3, RFdiffusion(-AA), ProteinMPNN·LigandMPNN | **candidate** |
+| `rna` | ViennaRNA (real; hard fold-legality input) | claim |
+| `energetics` | bridge off-target (MC3 gate ≥ 0.77) | claim |
+
+## Cross-oracle consistency
+
+`structure.consistency(seq)` runs the available structure predictors and combines them with `consensus()`:
+agreement is a confidence signal, and **disagreement widens the reported interval** (`native_uncertainty`
+grows with the cross-oracle spread) — v4.0 Principle 3.
+
+## Compute / offline policy
+
+Heavy backends (AF3, Evo2, ESM3, …) run on-demand (hosted API / local GPU) and are cached + version-pinned
+under `oracle_cache/` (committed for offline CI). When a backend and a cache entry are both absent, the
+adapter returns a **deferred** result (`available=False`) — it never fabricates a value. ViennaRNA and the
+bridge energetics model are real and run locally / on the VM.
+
+See `docs/writer_verification.md` (scoring/critiquing writers through the mesh), `prereg/ws_o.yaml`, and
+`pen_stack/oracles/`.

+# Writer verification (v4.0, WS-WV) — the honest "better pen"
+
+PEN-STACK does **not** invent writer enzymes de-novo. The earlier `pen-assemble` direction produced **0
+validatable de-novo writers** and could not be checked computationally. v4.0 builds the honest alternative:
+**score and critique** proposed or variant writers against measured data — never assert novel function.
+
+## WV1 — variant scoring (DMS- + structure-grounded)
+
+`pen_stack.atlas.writer_verify.score_variants(variants)` returns, per variant, a **calibrated activity score**
+in [0, 1] with an interval and a scope flag:
+
+- A variant present in the **Perry-2025 ISCro4 deep mutational scan** is scored from its *measured* activity
+  Z-score → `claimable=True`, finite interval.
+- A variant **out of the DMS distribution** → `extrapolating=True`, `claimable=False` — a plausibility screen
+  only, **no activity claim**.
+
+`blind_recovery()` is the deterministic retrospective criterion: ranking the documented panel, the known
+enhancers **N322P / H50K / R278M** land on top, above the measured-worse controls. `real_dms_recovery()`
+reports the same against the full Perry DMS when it is present (on the VM). This is a *catalogue* feature that
+recovers known enhancers — **not** a blind sequence-only predictor, and stated as such.
+
+## WV2 — critique, not invention
+
+`critique_candidate(seq, ...)` takes a **generated** candidate writer (e.g. from `oracles.protein_design`,
+which only ever returns `candidate` outputs) and critiques it:
+
+| Check | Source |
+|---|---|
+| folds? | structure oracle (`oracles.structure.consistency`) — deferred → flagged, never asserted |
+| plausible active site? | retains conserved core residues (heuristic) |
+| deliverable form? | the rule-grounded verifier (delivery rules) |
+| reachable target? | the rule-grounded verifier (reachability rules) |
+
+It returns `pass`/flags + reasons, and **always** `no_claim=True`, `claimable=False`. A generated writer is
+never returned as "a working new pen." The verifier surfaces this as `Verdict.writer_critique` (a scope flag,
+never a confidence): the legality of the write *plan* and the activity *claim* for the candidate are distinct
+axes — a legal plan does not make an unverified candidate claimable.
+
+## Scope & honesty
+
+- Deep DMS exists for **few** enzymes (bridge recombinases); elsewhere WV1 is a labelled plausibility screen.
+- Generative designs are **proposals**; they are scored/critiqued, never asserted active.
+- Structure verification is deferred without an AF3/Boltz/Chai/Protenix backend or a committed cache entry —
+  the candidate is then explicitly *fold-unverified*, not assumed to fold.
+
+See `docs/oracles.md` (the mesh), `prereg/ws_wv.yaml`, and `pen_stack/atlas/writer_verify.py`.
