+or object packet is a real failure. Login uses the account's OpenSim `last`
+location instead of a hardcoded Second Life region.

 `GRID_LOGIN_URL` is used directly as the LLSD login endpoint; the harness does
 not substitute a Second Life login host or path. The login request includes the
 OpenSim response options for avatar search, classified fee, currency label,

+# MetaCrate 0.0.1 release candidate
+
+MetaCrate 0.0.1 is the first native Rust release candidate for the pinned
+LibreMetaverse compatibility surface. It is releasable only when the native
+`release-candidate-audit` reports `status: "ok"`; a generated `blocked` report
+is evidence of remaining work, never permission to waive it.
+
+## Supported platform boundary
+
+- Linux x86-64 is the fully built and executed release platform. All Gitea
+  Actions jobs run on `ubuntu-latest` as required by repository policy.
+- Portable, default-feature-disabled library surfaces are cross-compiled from
+  Ubuntu for Windows GNU x86-64 and macOS x86-64. Those checks do not claim
+  native runtime, installer, physical-device, CoreAudio, or WASAPI validation.
+- Rust 1.97.1 is the release toolchain. Rust 1.96.0 is exercised separately and
+  only supports the minimum-version compatibility claim.
+
+## Features and prerequisites
+
+The default `libremetaverse` build uses the pure-Rust `dds-bc67` image path.
+Optional boundaries are explicit:
+
+| Feature | Capability | Native/build prerequisite |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `jpeg2000` | J2K/JP2 through the safe OpenJPEG adapter | OpenJPEG 2.5.4 or newer |
+| `skia` | PNG/JPEG/WebP and other Skia formats | Skia 0.99 target cache or documented source tools |
+| `vorbis` | PCM to Ogg Vorbis | the locked `vorbis_rs` native build stack |
+| default WebRTC | native ICE/DTLS/SRTP/RTP/SCTP and Opus | system libopus 1.3 or newer |
+| `real-audio` | physical microphone/speaker I/O | ALSA on Linux, CoreAudio on macOS, WASAPI on Windows |
+
+OpenJPEG and Opus are dynamically discovered through the reviewed adapters;
+Skia and Vorbis can contribute bundled native material and therefore carry the
+notices documented in `release/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md`.
+
+## Compatibility and intentional differences
+
+The release maps 3,066 public types and 30,789 members from upstream commit
+`2aa70bb68513b39795da5d13c88f31b86e85a3ba`. Rust naming, ownership, async,
+event, cancellation, error, overload, and feature decisions are fixed in the
+SemVer baseline. In particular, Rust uses snake-case methods, typed overload
+names, `Result`, native futures, subscription guards, project-owned boundary
+traits, and unknown-bit-retaining flags instead of reproducing C# syntax or CLR
+runtime types. The 80 delegate/APM replacements are intentional and compiled by
+the independent downstream fixture. Full recipes are in
+[`api/SEMVER-AUDIT.md`](../api/SEMVER-AUDIT.md).
+
+Vivox support is a native protocol adapter and does not bundle the proprietary
+Vivox service. Physical audio and proprietary service validation remain manual.
+Live grid validation targets the exact `GRID_LOGIN_URL` from `.env`; it uses
+OpenSim response options and does not substitute a Second Life endpoint.
+
+## Evidence and approval
+
+The policy in `ci/release-candidate-policy.json` verifies, without silent
+waivers:
+
+- all 16 release/source packages share version 0.0.1 and all ten shipped native
+  binaries remain in the artifact inventory;
+- all 1,289 compatibility cases remain reviewed: 1,266 deterministic cases, 19
+  explicit live cases, four benchmark cases, and zero pending/unreviewed/drift;
+- production Rust contains zero `not_implemented`, `unimplemented_api!`,
+  `todo!`, or `unimplemented!` failure paths;
+- live tests contain no print-and-return success paths, fake and dedicated
+  OpenSim evidence each contain nine unique successful sanitized stages, and
+  the prior API/artifact/concurrency/documentation/provenance evidence remains
+  valid;
+- the release notes, checksums, Rust 1.97 toolchain, and Ubuntu-only workflows
+  match policy.
+
+Run the status gate with:
+
+```sh
+cargo run --locked -p metacrate-ci-matrix -- \
+  release-candidate-audit --evidence /tmp/metacrate-release-candidate.json
+```
+
+The command uses create-new evidence semantics. It writes a complete blocker
+inventory before returning failure, which makes an incomplete release visible
+in CI. Fuzz-smoke is the sole check currently marked `deferred_by_user`; it is
+not presented as passed and is not silently executed. No signing identity is
+configured for 0.0.1, so `release/SHA256SUMS`, Gitea artifact retention, and the
+provenance/license manifests are the configured authenticity controls.
