RAHN v0.1.0-alpha.2 — Hardening & Research Foundation

[MHAlikhani]

RAHN v0.1.0-alpha.2

A hardening and research-foundation release following the initial
state-engine implementation.

Highlights

• Hardened the deterministic network-state engine.
• Expanded validation and regression coverage.
• Strengthened state integrity and verification behavior.
• Improved error handling and invalid-state rejection.
• Added the initial research and experiment structure.
• Added CI validation for the core workspace.
• Improved architecture, specification, and development documentation.
• Added licensing and contribution-policy foundations.

Architecture

This release stabilizes the initial RAHN state-engine foundation before
introducing network graph semantics in the next milestone.

The core remains focused on:

• deterministic state representation
• canonical serialization
• content-addressed state identity
• explicit state transitions
• semantic diff
• branching
• conservative merge behavior
• invariant verification
• verification-gated state changes
• simulation-only execution

Research Foundation

This release establishes the initial research corpus and experimental
structure that will be used to evaluate RAHN's architecture as it evolves.

The project is still experimental and does not claim production readiness.

Limitations

• No real network execution.
• No network graph semantics yet.
• No observability layer.
• No causal memory.
• No distributed state.
• No production network integration.
