+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added
+
+- ADR-016 optimized-kernel **dispatch** is accepted and implemented (off by
+  default). `KernelSpec` gains `dispatch_key`, `priority`, and an optional
+  shape-only `cost` estimator (`KernelCost`); a spec that names a `dispatch_key`
+  with `rtol == atol == 0` is *dispatch-eligible*. `KernelRegistry` indexes the
+  eligible specs by key (descending `priority`) and rejects two eligible specs
+  that share a key at equal priority (`DispatchAmbiguityError`). A single
+  `spacecore.kernels.dispatch(key, *args, generic=…, ctx=…)` entry point selects
+  the first applicable, affordable spec or runs the inline `generic` fallback.
+  `dispatch_mode` (`off`/`on`/`verify`) is settable process-globally
+  (`set_dispatch_mode`) and per-scope (`dispatch_mode(...)` context manager);
+  `check_level="strict"` implies `verify`. A materializing fast path is gated by
+  a memory budget computed from `BackendOps.free_memory_bytes()` and
+  `set_memory_budget_fraction` — no estimate or no budget means no fuse. The
+  composed apply chain (`linop.composed.apply`) and block-diagonal apply
+  (`linop.block_diagonal.apply`) call sites are wired through `dispatch`; with
+  dispatch off they are result-identical to the prior inline paths. The two
+  `0.4.0` catalog specs stay explicit-entry (no `dispatch_key`); activating a
+  routed spec under either key is a benchmark-gated follow-up.
+- Three dispatch-eligible algebraic-optimization kernels (exact, `rtol=atol=0`):
+  `composed-zero-annihilation` (a chain containing a zero map collapses to
+  `codomain.zeros()`) and `composed-identity-elision` (skip identity leaves)
+  under `linop.composed.apply`, and `block-diagonal-uniform-dense-batched`
+  (uniform flat-dense blocks fold into one batched `matmul`) under
+  `linop.block_diagonal.apply`. The block kernel is *materializing*: it carries a
+  shape-only `KernelCost` and the dispatcher gates it on the memory budget. All
+  three route only under `dispatch_mode("on"/"verify")`; dispatch stays off by
+  default. Each has a correctness reference and a `python -m bench` probe.
+- `NumpyOps.free_memory_bytes()` reports available system RAM via the optional
+  `psutil` dependency (returns `None` — "no fuse" — when `psutil` is absent), so
+  the dispatcher's memory gate can size materializing fast paths on the CPU
+  backend.
+
+## [0.4.0] — 2026-06-24
+
+SpaceCore 0.4.0 stabilizes the typed linear-algebra core as a validated
+algebra of structured mathematical objects. It ships a public check-policy,
+ADR-015 Stage 1 dtype/field contract, the `TreeSpace` finite direct-product
+abstraction, block-structured LinOps on tree domains, an everyday functional
+and proximal toolbox, external optimizer adapters, reusable test generators,
+and a full backend conformance matrix with deviation catalog.
+
+### Added
+
+- ADR-018 **external optimizer adapters** in the new `spacecore.optimize`
+  subpackage: `minimize_scipy(F, x0, *, method="L-BFGS-B", jac=True, **kw)` and
+  `line_search_scipy(F, x, d, **kw)` drive `scipy.optimize`, and
+  `minimize_optax(F, x0, optimizer, *, steps, callback=None)` runs the canonical
+  optax update loop with pytree pass-through. Each adapter evaluates the
+  objective through `F.value` and converts the metric (Riesz) gradient `F.grad`
+  to the coordinate gradient external optimizers expect with
+  `X.riesz(F.grad(x))` — the identity on a Euclidean space and mandatory on a
+  weighted one, defusing the study's silent metric-gradient trap once and
+  centrally. The external optimizer owns iteration, line search, and
+  convergence; the SciPy adapters reject complex domains and document the
+  structure/geometry/field lost at the boundary. `minimize_scipy` returns the
+  SciPy `OptimizeResult` with an added `x_element` field (the minimizer
+  unflattened into `F.domain`); `minimize_optax` requires a JAX-backed domain and
+  the optional `optax` extra (`pip install spacecore[optax]`). Per ADR-018,
+  jaxopt/BlackJAX/pymanopt seams stay as tutorials, not shipped adapters.
+- ADR-019 everyday functional and proximal toolbox in the new
+  `spacecore.functional.tools` subpackage (re-exported from
+  `spacecore.functional` and the top-level `spacecore` namespace): named
+  constructors over the existing `Functional` machinery, with no new core type
+  hierarchy. `least_squares(A, b, *, weights=None, scale=0.5)` returns a
+  `LinOpQuadraticForm` for `scale·‖Ax−b‖²` (default `½‖Ax−b‖²`, with optional
+  diagonal residual weights). New battery functionals `SquaredL2NormFunctional`,
+  `LpNormFunctional`, `L1NormFunctional`, `NegativeEntropyFunctional`,
+  `KLDivergenceFunctional`, and `HuberFunctional` are coordinate objectives whose
+  gradients are the metric (Riesz) gradient under the domain geometry.
+  `SpectralLpNormFunctional` (with the `NuclearNormFunctional` wrapper) is the
+  spectral analogue — the Schatten-`p` norm of a Jordan spectrum (`HermitianSpace`
+  eigenvalues), a spectral function whose gradient is reconstructed through the
+  ADR-012 `from_spectrum` API; on an elementwise Jordan space it coincides with
+  `LpNormFunctional`. A closed-form proximal primitive
+  `generalized_shrinkage(X, *, c, x0, eps, lam=0.0, nonneg=False)` solves the
+  separable forward–backward subproblem in the space metric (per-coordinate
+  threshold `τᵢ = λ/(2 ε wᵢ)` on a diagonal metric; it **raises** on a
+  non-diagonal metric rather than returning a wrong separable answer), with the
+  named wrappers `prox_l1`, `prox_l2sq`, and `project_nonneg`. The
+  `IndicatorFunctional`/`project_C` surface reserved by ADR-019 is deferred to
+  ADR-020 (`Set`).
+- `HermitianSpace.eig_to_dense` (and therefore `from_spectrum`, `psd_proj`, and
+  `spectral_apply`) now symmetrizes the `U diag(·) U^*` reconstruction before the
+  membership check, so a zero-tolerance Hermitian space no longer rejects its own
+  spectral reconstruction over a few-ULP floating-point skew.
+- Public `check_level` policy literal (`"none"`, `"cheap"`, `"standard"`,
+  `"strict"`) with `CHECK_LEVELS` ordering and `_checks_at_least` dispatch
+  across spaces, LinOps, functionals, and solver preconditions.
+- `Space.field` exposing a `Literal["real", "complex"]` mathematical
+  contract derived from the context dtype; capability guards now consult
+  `Space.field` instead of inspecting precision-bearing dtypes.
+- `TreeSpace` finite direct-product space organized by an `optree`
+  definition; `TreeElement` ordered-leaf binding; `TreeSpace.from_leaf_spaces`
+  flat-tuple shortcut.
+- `BlockDiagonalLinOp` and `BlockMatrixLinOp` over `TreeSpace` domains
+  including metric-adjoint behavior; `TreeLinOp` base class for tree-shaped
+  operators.
+- Reusable test generators under `tests/generators/` for spaces, LinOps,
+  functionals, and linalg references; contributor guide at
+  `docs/dev/contributing/linop_generators.md`.
+- `spacecore.kernels` subpackage with the optimized-kernel registration
+  policy. Two demonstration kernels ship in 0.4.0: `composed-chain-apply`
+  (skips the per-link `@checked_method` wrapper for a flat chain of LinOps)
+  and `block-diagonal-dense-apply` (tight ``ops.matmul`` loop over dense
+  block leaves). Both have correctness references and bench cases. No
+  dispatch or fusion is wired in 0.4.0: the ADR-016 dispatch mechanism is
+  implemented but ships **off by default** and dormant, with no production
+  routing (see Unreleased).
+- Unified benchmark framework at `python -m bench` (subcommands `run`,
+  `compare`, `plot`, `summary`, `list`) with generator-driven probes in
+  `bench/_operations.py`, peak-memory recording in
+  `bench/harness.py:measure_peak_memory`, fixed seeds `(0, 1, 2, 3)`, and
+  a self-contained interactive Plotly dashboard at `bench/_dashboard.py`.
+- Kernel policy doc at `docs/source/design/kernels_policy.rst`.
+- Backend conformance matrix at `docs/source/design/backend_conformance.rst`
+  with per-op tolerance harness in `tests/backend/_conformance.py`,
+  systematic NumpyOps reference (`tests/backend/test_conformance_numpy.py`),
+  cross-backend parity (`tests/backend/test_conformance_cross_backend.py`),
+  and dedicated modules for optional args, conversion, dtype promotion,
+  field consistency, vmap, and JIT.
+- Operator apply cores are organized as a *core-kernel* layer in the
+  `spacecore.kernels` subpackage instead of inline in each operator class. The
+  check-free cores of `apply`/`rapply`/`vapply`/`rvapply` for **every** operator
+  with a fast path — the composite algebra (`ComposedLinOp`, `ScaledLinOp`,
+  `SumLinOp`, the adjoint view, `IdentityLinOp`, `ZeroLinOp`, `MatrixFreeLinOp`)
+  and the concrete leaves (`DenseLinOp`, `DiagonalLinOp`, `SparseLinOp`) — now
+  live as concrete functions in the kernels subpackage (`kernels/algebra.py`,
+  `kernels/dense.py`, `kernels/diagonal.py`, `kernels/sparse.py`). Operators
+  bind them by declaring the `@core_kernels("...")` class decorator (rules in
+  `spacecore/kernels/_core.py`); the base `LinOp` cores remain the generic
+  fallback for operators without a registered kernel. Binding is static
+  (class-definition time), so routing through the kernel registry costs nothing
+  per call — leaf-operator apply latency is unchanged. The lazy-algebra cores
+  additionally validate membership only once at the boundary instead of
+  re-validating every intermediate link, and `ComposedLinOp` caches a flattened
+  `_apply_chain` at construction so a deep `A @ B @ C @ ...` runs one loop rather
+  than re-walking the binary tree (a depth-16 composition applies ~9x faster than
+  the per-link-checked path and scales flat with depth). All results are
+  numerically identical. Public API: `core_kernels`, `CoreKernelSet`,
+  `register_core_kernels`, `get_core_kernels`, `core_kernel_names` from
+  `spacecore.kernels`.
+- Iterative linalg solvers (`cg`, `lanczos_smallest`, `lsqr`, `power_iteration`)
+  consume the check-free operator/space cores in their hot loops. They validate
+  the operator and right-hand side once, at entry, then run the iteration through
+  the resolved cores — eliminating the per-iteration membership validation that
+  dominated eager-backend runtime (CG at `check_level="standard"` is ~3.4x faster
+  on NumPy and now matches `check_level="none"`). Resolution is safe: a core is
+  used only when it is consistent with the public method (`linalg/_utils.py`
+  `resolve_core`/`SpaceCoreOps`), so a user space that overrides `inner` with a
+  custom geometry without overriding `_inner_core` keeps its override. Results are
+  numerically identical.
+- The `spacecore.kernels` subpackage is reorganized into two subpackages by kind:
+  `spacecore.kernels.core` (the check-free apply/eval cores + the `core_kernels`
+  binding rules) and `spacecore.kernels.specs` (the benchmarked `KernelSpec`
+  layer). Public names are re-exported from `spacecore.kernels`, so
+  `spacecore.kernels.core_kernels`, `spacecore.kernels.CoreKernelSet`, and
+  `spacecore.kernels.KernelSpec`/`registry` resolve unchanged.
+- The same core-kernel organization now covers the `spacecore.functional`
+  submodule. The check-free `value`/`grad`/`vvalue`/`vgrad` cores for
+  `InnerProductFunctional`, `MatrixFreeLinearFunctional`, `LinearFunctional`,
+  `LinOpQuadraticForm`, and `ComposedFunctional` live in
+  `spacecore/kernels/functional.py`; the functionals bind them via
+  `@core_kernels("...")`. `CoreKernelSet` gained `value`/`grad`/`vvalue`/`vgrad`
+  fields alongside the LinOp `apply`/`rapply`/`vapply`/`rvapply` ones, and the
+  base `Functional` carries the generic core fallbacks. Composite functionals now
+  reach their operands' cores instead of re-validating intermediates — e.g.
+  `LinOpQuadraticForm.value` validates its input once rather than once per
+  sub-term (`Q.apply` + `linear.value`), and `ComposedFunctional` evaluates
+  `F._value_core(A._apply_core(x))`. Results are numerically identical.
+- `BackendOps.hstack`, `vstack`, `dstack`, and `column_stack` array-stacking
+  helpers delegating to the backend's native routines, alongside the existing
+  `stack`.
+- `BackendOps.vectorize` for elementwise vectorization of a scalar Python
+  function over array arguments. Delegates to the backend's native
+  `vectorize` (NumPy, JAX, CuPy) and uses a portable Python-loop fallback on
+  backends without one (Torch). Closes the previously unimplemented
+  `ops.vectorize` fallback used by `spectral_apply`.
+- Backend deviation catalog at `docs/source/design/backend_deviations.rst`.
+- Batching test policy at `docs/source/design/batching_test_policy.rst`.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Spaces, LinOps, and functionals dispatch optional checks via
+  `_checks_at_least`; `cheap` covers shape/dtype/backend/tree-structure,
+  `standard` adds membership and Hermitian checks, `strict` adds bounded
+  expensive probes (matrix-free adjoint identity, CG positive-curvature
+  probe).
+- `Context.dtype` is documented as the representation default; `Space.field`
+  is the mathematical contract derived from it.
+
+### Removed
+
+- `ProductSpace` was removed in favor of `TreeSpace`. Tuple-style products
+  use `TreeSpace.from_leaf_spaces((X1, X2, ...))`; nested / dict /
+  namedtuple structures use `TreeSpace(template, leaf_spaces)` or
+  `TreeSpace.from_template`.
+- `ProductLinOp` was renamed to `TreeLinOp`. `ProductStructure`,
+  `TupleStructure`, `PytreeStructure`, `ProductStructureCheck`, and
+  `ProductComponentCheck` were removed; tree-structure handling and leaf
+  validation are owned by `TreeSpace`.
+- Conversion (`ctx.asarray` and construction helpers) refuses silent
+  complex-to-real narrowing per ADR-015 Stage 1.
+
+### Deprecated
+
+- `enable_checks=True/False` is deprecated in favor of `check_level`:
+  `True` maps to `"standard"`, `False` maps to `"none"`. Passing both
+  raises `TypeError`. `enable_checks` continues to work in 0.4.0 but will
+  be removed in a future release.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Corrected the matrix-free adjoint contract so `MatrixFreeLinOp` and its
+  adjoint view use user-supplied forward and reverse callables directly,
+  without applying matrix-backed Riesz-map adjoint corrections.
+- `ComposedLinOp`, `ScaledLinOp`, and `SumLinOp` now implement structural
+  `is_hermitian()` inference. A Gram product `R.H @ R` (or `L @ L.H`) reports
+  `True` in any geometry, a real-scaled operator propagates its operand's
+  verdict, and a sum of provably-Hermitian terms reports `True`. The checks
+  are cheap, conservative, and never assert `False`, so the normal operator
+  `A.H @ A + lam * Identity` is now correctly recognized as self-adjoint
+  instead of reporting `None`.
+- `cg` now rejects an operator that is *provably* non-self-adjoint in its
+  geometry (`A.is_hermitian() is False`) at entry with a clear `ValueError`,
+  matching the guard already used by `power_iteration`, `lanczos_smallest`,
+  and `expm_multiply`. Previously, at the default check level, `cg` would
+  silently accept (for example) a symmetric matrix on a weighted
+  inner-product space — which is not self-adjoint under the weighted inner
+  product — and return a confusing `converged=False` result. Operators with
+  unknown Hermiticity (`is_hermitian() is None`, e.g. matrix-free) are still
+  accepted unchecked.
+
+### Known limitations
+
+- Iterative solvers (`cg`, `lsqr`, `lanczos_smallest`, `power_iteration`,
+  `expm_multiply`) remain unbatched. Batched-input invocations raise a
+  clear shape error; explicit batched solver entry points are deferred to
+  0.5.0.
+- ADR-015 Stage 2 (operand-dtype-preserving `Context.asarray`, opt-in
+  exact dtype membership, operand-dtype solver workspaces) is deferred to
+  0.5.0.
+- Strict check level currently inherits the standard space-membership
+  semantics; additional spectral / metric probes at the space layer are
+  deferred to 0.5.0.
+
+## [0.3.1] — 2026-06-10
+
+SpaceCore 0.3.1 is a release-candidate stabilization release for the `0.3.x`
+API. It focuses on documentation consistency, tutorial execution, release
+artifact checks, and public API audit cleanup. It does not add new solver
+families or SDPLab-specific downstream integration.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- Reworked API reference landing pages for backend, context, spaces, linear
+  operators, functionals, and linalg.
+- Added design notes for context ownership, batching, and capability dispatch.
+- Clarified conversion and dtype policy documentation for explicit target
+  contexts.
+- Clarified adjoint documentation to distinguish coordinate transpose,
+  Euclidean adjoint, and metric/Riesz-represented adjoint behavior.
+
+### Examples and Tutorials
+
+- Added a SpaceCore-only weighted Tikhonov worked example demonstrating
+  weighted spaces, metric adjoints, lazy operator algebra, CG, and an
+  independent dense NumPy reference solve.
+- Integrated the weighted Tikhonov example into tests and documentation.
+
+### Testing and CI
+
+- Documentation CI now builds Sphinx with warnings as errors.
+- Release-candidate checks include full tests, strict docs build, public API
+  audit, artifact build, `twine check`, clean wheel installation, and smoke
+  testing.
+
+### Known limitations
+
+- Optional backend behavior depends on installed optional dependencies. CuPy is
+  not required for the core release-candidate gate.
+- The advanced regularized OT tutorial is an illustrative SpaceCore/JAX/Optax
+  example, not a claim that SpaceCore ships a production OT solver.
+
+## [0.3.0]
+
+SpaceCore 0.3.0 is a breaking release for the unstable `0.x` series. Space
+capabilities are now derived from actual structure, dtype, and inner product,
+and conversions rebuild spaces through public factories so stale capabilities
+are not retained.
+
+### Migration
+
+| 0.2.x | 0.3.0 |
+| --- | --- |
+| `space.eigh(x)` | `space.spectral_decompose(x)` for eigenvalues and frame |
+| `space.eigh(x)` | `space.spectrum(x)` for eigenvalues only |
+| `sc.VectorSpace((n,))` | `sc.DenseVectorSpace((n,))` |
+| `sc.VectorSpace((d, d))` | `sc.DenseCoordinateSpace((d, d))` |
+| `ProductInnerProductSpace(...)` | `ProductSpace(...)` |
+| `ProductStarSpace(...)` | `ProductSpace(...)` |
+| `ProductJordanAlgebraSpace(...)` | `ProductSpace(...)` |
+| `ProductEuclideanJordanAlgebraSpace(...)` | `ProductSpace(...)` |
+| `StackedInnerProductSpace(...)` | `StackedSpace(...)` |
+| `StackedStarSpace(...)` | `StackedSpace(...)` |
+| `StackedJordanAlgebraSpace(...)` | `StackedSpace(...)` |
+| `StackedEuclideanJordanAlgebraSpace(...)` | `StackedSpace(...)` |
+| `BatchSpace` and `space.batch(...)` | leading-axis batched arrays with `vapply(...)` / `rvapply(...)` |
+| `op.vapply(xs, batch_space=...)` | `op.vapply(xs)` |
+| global context conversion policies | explicit `Context` construction and `obj.convert(ctx)` |
+| global dtype preservation policies | target-context dtype during explicit conversion |
+
+Prominent `eigh` replacement:
+
+```python
+space.eigh(x)
+# -> space.spectral_decompose(x)  # eigenvalues and frame
+# -> space.spectrum(x)            # eigenvalues only
+```
+
+### Added
+
+- `spectrum`, `spectral_decompose`, and `from_spectrum` as the public spectral
+  contract for Jordan spaces.
+- `ElementwiseJordanSpace` for real or complex elementwise Jordan algebras.
+- `EuclideanElementwiseJordanSpace` for real Euclidean elementwise Jordan
+  algebras.
+- Jordan capability hierarchy separating `JordanAlgebraSpace` from
+  `EuclideanJordanAlgebraSpace`.
+- `ProductStructure`, `TupleStructure`, `PytreeStructure`, and
+  `ProductSpace.from_template` for structured product elements.
+- `ProductSpectralDecomposition` for product spectral data independent of
+  product element structure.
+- `StackedSpace` for leading-axis repeated leaf spaces.
+- Vectorizable axis-aware validation checks.
+- `InnerProduct.validate_for(space)` and construction-time validation for
+  `WeightedInnerProduct`.
+- `scripts/api_audit.py` for repository and downstream migration audits.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `VectorSpace` is an abstract linear-capability base.
+- Previous concrete `VectorSpace` use cases moved to `DenseVectorSpace` for
+  one-dimensional dense vectors and `DenseCoordinateSpace` for generic dense
+  coordinate arrays.
+- `DenseVectorSpace` is now a plain one-dimensional vector space with star and
+  no Jordan capability by default.
+- Elementwise Euclidean-Jordan capability is selected only for real dtype with
+  `EuclideanInnerProduct`.
+- `ProductSpace(...)` and `StackedSpace(...)` are the only public product and
+  stacked constructors; they auto-dispatch to private implementation classes.
+- `convert()` for elementwise, product, and stacked spaces recomputes
+  capabilities through public factories.
+- `ProductSpace.spectral_decompose` returns explicit product spectral data
+  rather than routing decompositions through element structure adapters.
+
+### Removed
+
+- Removed `eigh` from spaces. Use `spectral_decompose` when both eigenvalues
+  and a reconstruction frame are needed, or `spectrum` for eigenvalues only.
+- Removed public specialized product and stacked constructors from the public
+  API.
+- Removed `BatchSpace`, `Space.batch`, and `batch_space=` arguments from public
+  batching APIs. Use leading-axis vectorization through `vapply` and `rvapply`.
+- Removed global context-policy and dtype-policy APIs. Conversion now follows
+  the requested target `Context` directly.
+
+## [0.2.0]
+
+SpaceCore 0.2.0 is a major API expansion. The backend layer now sits on the
+Array API standard. Operators gained a lazy algebra with adjoint views,
+composition, sums, and scaling. A new `Functional` hierarchy provides
+scalar-valued maps with gradients and pull-backs. A new `spacecore.linalg`
+module ships four JIT-compatible iterative solvers. Spaces, operators, and
+functionals share a single validation pattern via `checked_method`, and the
+public API is documented to numpydoc standard with doctest coverage.
+
+This release introduces breaking changes; see [Migration](#migration-from-01x).
+
+### Added
+
+#### Backend
+
+- Migrated `BackendOps` to the Array API standard via `array-api-compat`.
+- `CuPyOps` and the `cupy` backend family as an optional install
+  (`pip install 'spacecore[cupy]'`).
+- `BackendOps.is_complex_dtype` for backend-aware complex detection.
+- `BackendOps.real_dtype` for extracting the real dtype matching a complex one.
+- Broadened backend coverage for array creation, dtype conversion, sparse
+  conversion, indexing, reductions, linear algebra, loop primitives
+  (`fori_loop`, `while_loop`, `cond`), tree helpers, and vectorized mapping.
+- JAX pytree registration for operator, space, and functional types so they
+  pass through `jax.jit`, `jax.vmap`, and `jax.grad` boundaries.
+
+#### Context and checking
+
+- Public free-function API in `spacecore._contextual`: `set_context`,
+  `get_context`, `resolve_context_priority`, `register_ops`, and the
+  resolution-policy accessors.
+- Extended `checked_method` to support validation against `self` and multiple
+  input argument positions.
+- Reusable space-validation checks: backend, dtype, shape, Hermitian,
+  square-matrix, product-structure, and product-component checks. Documented
+  at `docs/source/design/checking_policy.rst`.
+
+#### Spaces
+
+- `BatchSpace` for batched elements with explicit batch shape and batch-axis
+  metadata.
+
+#### Linear operators
+
+- Lazy operator algebra:
+  - `A @ B` composes operators.
+  - `A + B` sums operators.
+  - `alpha * A` scales an operator.
+  - `A.H` returns a cached adjoint view satisfying `A.H.H is A`.
+  - Algebraic simplification eliminates `I`, `Zero`, `alpha = 0`, `alpha = 1`,
+    and flattens nested sums.
+- New operator types: `IdentityLinOp`, `ZeroLinOp`, `MatrixFreeLinOp`,
+  `DiagonalLinOp`.
+- Structural `LinOp.is_hermitian()` reporting `True`, `False`, or `None`
+  (unknown) without applying incorrect Euclidean assumptions for custom space
+  geometries.
+- `LinOp.to_dense()` for materializing operators as backend arrays.
+- Product-structured operators and batched lifting:
+  - `ProductLinOp`
+  - `BlockDiagonalLinOp`
+  - `StackedLinOp`
+  - `SumToSingleLinOp`
+  - `vapply` / `rvapply` paths for batched operator application.
+
+#### Functionals
+
+- `Functional` as an abstract base for scalar-valued maps on spaces, with
+  `value`, `grad`, `hess_apply`, and batched counterparts.
+- Linear functionals: `LinearFunctional`, `InnerProductFunctional`,
+  `MatrixFreeLinearFunctional`.
+- Quadratic forms: `QuadraticForm`, `LinOpQuadraticForm`.
+- `Functional.compose` and `ComposedFunctional` for pull-backs along linear
+  operators, with specializations that preserve the concrete functional type
+  when possible.
+
+#### Linear algebra
+
+The `spacecore.linalg` module is new in 0.2.0. It provides JIT-compatible
+iterative solvers and structured result types.
+
+- Iterative solvers:
+  - `cg` for Hermitian positive-definite systems.
+  - `lsqr` for rectangular least-squares problems.
+  - `power_iteration` for dominant-eigenpair estimates of a `LinOp` or
+    `QuadraticForm`.
+  - `lanczos_smallest` for smallest-Ritz-eigenpair estimates of Hermitian
+    operators.
+  - `expm_multiply` for Krylov matrix-exponential actions `exp(t A) v` on
+    Hermitian operators, with complex `t` supported for Schrodinger-type
+    evolution.
+- Structured result types `CGResult`, `LSQRResult`, `PowerIterationResult`,
+  `LanczosResult`, and `ExpmMultiplyResult`, each carrying convergence
+  diagnostics and a compact `__repr__`.
+- Solvers are geometry-aware: norms, inner products, and the default initial
+  vector use `Space.inner` and `Space.norm` rather than assuming Euclidean
+  geometry. This makes the solvers correct on custom inner products such as
+  RKHS or weighted spaces.
+
+#### Documentation
+
+- Numpydoc-standard public docstrings with runnable doctests for solvers,
+  spaces, operators, functionals, backends, and contextual helpers.
+- API reference pages for backend ops, spaces, linear operators, functionals,
+  and linear algebra.
+- JAX integration design note at `docs/source/design/jax_integration.rst`
+  covering trace-time operator algebra and recommended JIT usage.
+- Tutorials for backend operations, linear operators, and matrix-free linalg
+  workflows.
+
+#### Tooling
+
+- Optional dependency groups: `[jax]`, `[torch]`, `[cupy]`, `[examples]`,
+  `[docs]`, `[dev]`.
+- Explicit `__all__` at the top level covering new backends, operators,
+  functionals, solvers, result types, validation checks, and contextual
+  helpers.
+- CI runs a JIT-traceability audit in `--check` mode and enforces a 70%
+  coverage floor via `pytest-cov`.
+- Cross-backend tests covering NumPy, JAX, Torch, and optional CuPy.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Restructured `_contextual` to hide implementation details while preserving
+  the public API via free functions.
+- Replaced manual `if self._enable_checks` guards with `checked_method` across
+  `Space`, `LinOp`, and `Functional`. Inline guards are now reserved for
+  non-membership checks such as dense-array assertions and custom output-shape
+  checks.
+- Improved `VectorSpace`, `HermitianSpace`, and `ProductSpace` conversion
+  behavior, validation, batching support, and docstrings.
+- Improved linear-operator equality, representation, conversion, and JAX
+  pytree behavior.
+- `spacecore.__version__` now resolves from package metadata via
+  `importlib.metadata` instead of a hand-maintained constant.
+- Bumped the package version to `0.2.0`.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- `LinOp.__eq__` returns `NotImplemented` instead of raising
+  `NotImplementedError` on the base class, so `op == None` and
+  `op in some_list` no longer raise.
+- `DenseLinOp.is_hermitian` and `SparseLinOp.is_hermitian` return `None` for
+  custom space geometries instead of applying an incorrect Euclidean
+  matrix-symmetry test.
+
+### Migration from 0.1.x
+
+- `BackendOps.eps` is now a method `eps(dtype)` rather than a property.
+  Callers must pass a dtype, typically `ctx.dtype`.
+- The implementation attribute `DenseLinOp.A` is now a `cached_property`
+  backed by `_A`. The public attribute access `op.A` is unchanged.
+- `LinOp.__eq__` returns `NotImplemented` rather than raising; downstream code
+  relying on the exception should be updated to handle the new behavior.
+- Several module-internal helpers in `spacecore._contextual` moved to private
+  modules. Use the public functions re-exported from `spacecore._contextual`
+  (`set_context`, `get_context`, `resolve_context_priority`, `register_ops`,
+  `set_resolution_policy`, and the dtype-policy accessors) rather than
+  importing from internal modules.
+
+### Known limitations
+
+- `cg`, `lsqr`, and `power_iteration` do not structurally validate operator
+  properties (positive-definiteness, full Hermiticity) and may silently
+  produce incorrect results on inputs that violate their preconditions. See
+  each function's `Notes` section for details.
+- Operator algebra runs Python-level simplification at construction time. For
+  maximum JIT efficiency, assemble operator expressions outside the
+  `jax.jit` boundary; see the JAX integration design note.
+- `MatrixFreeLinOp` stores its callables in pytree auxiliary data.
+  Constructing one inside a JIT-traced function with a new lambda each call
+  triggers retracing. Construct outside the traced region with a stable
+  callable reference.
+- The CuPy backend is provided as a preview. Coverage of non-standard
+  operations and sparse handling may evolve in a subsequent release.
