The preview, the public release, and what your evaluation actually decides

What stays fixed between now and the signed release: UpgradeCode, scope guarantees, the safety invariants. What can change: features, cover art, the default preset mix.

Things that won't move

  • Per-user scope: the installer target, the manifest level, and the no-elevation property are architectural. Presets restore semantics will never change — they've already shipped.
  • Stable UpgradeCode: your preview install will be upgraded cleanly into the signed release; you don't re-audit from zero at v1.0 (rebuild trust verifies the upgrade; you verify the signature).
  • Evidence standard: every public-facing claim on the site refers to gated artifacts. Some claims will expand (future features), none will silently vacate already-shipped gates.

Things your feedback moves

  • Which of the eight catalog categories make v1.0 first-class citizens (vs staying in Settings menus or docs);
  • Support-bundle field sets — the schema has a v2 slot ready if evaluators argue evidence insufficient;
  • The exit path of the preview: early-terminate options vs long-tail coexistence with v1.0.

Evaluating the preview is writing the roadmap: the evidence you demand on day one is what the product carries into releases. Request the build when ready, and hold us to everything written here.
