+# simplicio-code 0.3.0-beta.6
+
+This prerelease is built from the exact commit identified by the `v0.3.0-beta.6` tag.
+
+## Included
+
+- Runtime process-contract diagnostics for start/status/cancel/wait flows.
+- Strict workspace-audit and event-identity validation with deterministic receipts.
+- Component release provenance and trusted-key checks for installed surfaces.
+- Advisory evidence requirements and invariant receipt counts for Loop Hub runs.
+- Installed-surface inventory and benchmark-receipt integrity checks.
+- Repository-wide LLM architecture policy documentation.
+
+## Release artifacts
+
+The release workflow is required to produce Linux x86_64, macOS arm64, and Windows x86_64 artifacts, checksums, an SBOM, and a signed manifest. The exact tag, commit, and published assets are the source of truth for this prerelease.
+
+## Compatibility and limitations
+
+- This is a beta prerelease; production trust-root and signing-key custody are not established by this workflow.
+- Runtime, Loop, Mapper, Fast, and Dev CLI component provenance must be supplied by their manifests; this release does not claim that a locally resolved Runtime binary is a substitute for a component release receipt.
+- Parent integration issues remain open when their full cross-repository acceptance evidence is not present; merged slices must not be interpreted as full issue closure.
