# v0.99.0: Verified capabilities and product truth

## Theme

Make the implementation, public claims, and release evidence agree. This
release adds no SQL coverage or integrations. It establishes the baseline used
to judge every later pre-1.0 change.

## Work

- Generate one machine-readable capability and strategy manifest from runnable
  admission examples and stable reason identifiers.
- Use the manifest to reconcile the README, support matrix, SQL reference,
  generated catalogs, configuration docs, and integration docs.
- Replace nominal Graph V1 checks with PostgreSQL tests for real graphs,
  authorization, strategy policy, rollback, and coordinator writes.
- Record release evidence against a source commit, artifact digest, PostgreSQL
  version, suite version, workload, result, and retained logs.
- Add regression coverage for WAL receipt durability, graph strategy policy,
  graph boundary semantics, source-lock behavior, and backend-local cleanup.
- Mark an unproven stable capability unavailable or experimental until its
  conformance tests pass.

## Exit criteria

- [ ] Every public support claim maps to a runnable example and its expected
      strategy or rejection.
- [ ] No P0 correctness investigation remains open for an enabled stable
      capability.
- [ ] Graph policy, authorization, and rollback tests execute the public SQL
      API against PostgreSQL.
- [ ] Documentation and catalog checks pass without broad exemptions for
      active unsupported interfaces.
- [ ] The evidence manifest distinguishes executed, skipped, unavailable, and
      historical results.

## Scope control

Do not add SQL coverage or integrations. Fix urgent correctness and security
defects in the earliest safe release instead of reserving them for this one.
