+
+* v0.1.0 - The Sovereign Foundation (2026-04-13)
+This is the initial MVP release of the ~org-agent~. It establishes a secure, auditable Lisp kernel for a personal operating system.
+
+** Features
+- **Metabolic Pipeline:** Robust Perceive-Reason-Act loop with selective memory rollbacks and graceful shutdown handling.
+- **Verification Lock:** Mandatory skill enforcement via environment configuration. System halts if security policies or bouncers fail to load.
+- **Foveal-Peripheral Context:** High-resolution focus on active tasks with low-resolution skeletal awareness of the rest of the Memex.
+- **The Bouncer:** Last-mile deterministic security gate with Deep Packet Inspection for secrets and network exfiltration.
+- **Sovereign Scribe:** Background distillation worker that turns daily journal entries into evergreen Zettelkasten notes.
+- **Unified Onboarding:** Single-command installation (~org-agent.sh~) with Docker-first deployment and OS detection.
+- **CLI Gateway:** Local TCP socket server and interactive chat client for frictionless first contact.
+
+** Architectural Shift
+- Transitioned to **Literate Granularity**: Every function and invariant is now documented in its own Org block.
+- **Configuration Externalization:** All timing, thresholds, and identities are now driven by environment variables.
+- **Thin Harness Philosophy:** Decoupled the kernel from specific editors or third-party gateways.

 ** Initializing All Skills (initialize-all-skills)
-The unified orchestrator for the system boot sequence.
+The `initialize-all-skills` function is the unified orchestrator for the system boot sequence. It enforces the **Verification Lock**:
+1. **Mandatory Check:** It reads the `MANDATORY_SKILLS` environment variable and ensures every required skill exists in the source directory.
+2. **Topological Boot:** It resolves inter-skill dependencies to ensure policies and actuators are loaded in the correct order.
+3. **Timed Loading:** Every skill is loaded with a 5-second timeout.
+4. **Boot Halt:** If a *mandatory* skill fails to load (e.g., due to a syntax error), the entire system halts with a `BOOT FAILURE` to prevent an unaligned or unsecure state.
