## 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.
- Generate Graph V1 and Delta V1 support declarations from the v0.98 runtime
  admission state. Disabled or experimental is a valid declaration until the
  later implementation and conformance releases pass.
- Add the generated capability-manifest version and digest to the candidate
  evidence record introduced in v0.98.x.
- Keep the v0.98 safe-capture default and Graph V1 and Delta V1 negative
  admission tests as blocking regressions.
- 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.
- [ ] The v0.98 capture and capability-admission gates remain green against the
      public SQL API and packaged build.
- [ ] Documentation and catalog checks pass with zero 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.
