Veridag 0.1.0-alpha

[0.1.0-alpha] - 2026-08-17

First reference-implementation alpha. The consensus + execution + persistence +
networking slice is complete and tested.

Added

• Phase 5: veridag-net — QUIC authenticated validator links + vertex/batch
  gossip. Multi-process devnet test reaches consensus over real sockets.
• Phase 6: veridag-dag — VCE-1 vertex wire form, validity, equivocation,
  quorum progression.
• Phase 7: veridag-consensus — BaselineDagBft pure-function commit rule,
  deterministic simulation (Agreement + order-independence).
• Phase 8: vertical slice — tx → batch → vertex → commit → order → execute →
  state root; 4 validators derive identical state.
• Phase 9: veridag-storage — trait-based stores + MemoryStore/SledStore.
  Crash-injection harness proves restart-safe recovery (identical state root).
• Phase 10: veridag-execution — conflict-aware parallel scheduler;
  parallel == sequential property-tested.
• veridag-node, veridag-cli, veridag-genesis binaries.
• Release profile: opt-level=3, thin LTO, panic=abort, strip=true
  (low-latency, low-energy, small binary).
• Docs: docs/quickstart.md (universal onboarding), updated
  docs/architecture.md, ROADMAP phase status.

Safety

• All crates #![forbid(unsafe_code)].
• cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings clean.
• Full workspace test suite green.
