CodonTrace Genesis 0.3.0b1

CodonTrace Genesis 0.3.0b1

CodonTrace Genesis 0.3.0b1 is a public beta research-software release focused on replayable evidence for digital evolution, causal mechanism auditing, ALife experiments, and claim-gated research workflows.

Highlights

• Promotes the current package identity from 0.3.0a2 alpha to 0.3.0b1 beta.
• Aligns pyproject.toml, codontrace.__version__, release labels, citation metadata, and release evidence.
• Updates README, CLAIMS, BENCHMARKS, REPRODUCIBILITY, publishing docs, and release checklist for public beta wording.
• Adds a beginner-friendly Quick Start using WhiteBoxAgent and World2D.
• Adds Core API guidance for GenesisEngine and GenesisExperimentSpec.
• Adds docs/STUDIO_BOUNDARY.md to keep UI, FastAPI, WebSocket, Tauri, installer, product CLI, and Code Import workflows out of the core library.
• Adds an AST-based core boundary guard: tools/check_core_boundary.py.
• Adds Studio Phase 1 execution handoff docs in both HTML and Markdown.
• Adds safe performance planning notes for future live/interactive Studio execution without changing scientific semantics.
• Adds cross-OS CI smoke coverage for Ubuntu, Windows, and macOS across Python 3.11–3.14.
• Keeps CodonTrace Genesis dependency-free, library-first, deterministic, and evidence/replay focused.

Boundary note

This release does not turn CodonTrace Genesis into a UI product. CodonTrace Studio, Local API, Desktop installer, WebSocket streaming, and visual UI work belong in a separate future consumer repository.

CodonTrace Genesis v0.3.0a2 — AGPL Public Alpha Research Release

CodonTrace Genesis v0.3.0a2 — AGPL Public Alpha Research Release

This alpha release corrects the public package metadata for the AGPL-3.0-or-later license line and synchronizes package, citation, runtime, changelog, release-evidence, and release-identity test metadata.

Changed

• Bumped package version from 0.3.0a1 to 0.3.0a2.
• Updated runtime __version__ to 0.3.0a2.
• Updated CITATION.cff to 0.3.0a2.
• Updated changelog and release-evidence metadata.
• Removed the deprecated license classifier from pyproject.toml.
• Kept license = "AGPL-3.0-or-later" as the package license expression.

License

CodonTrace Genesis is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 or later (AGPL-3.0-or-later).

This license is selected to keep modified, redistributed, and network-deployed versions open, attributable, and scientifically inspectable.

Commercial/proprietary use cases that cannot comply with AGPL-3.0-or-later may contact the author for a separate commercial license.

Status

This remains a public alpha research-software release.

It does not claim final peer-reviewed benchmark results, AGI, consciousness, artificial life, benchmark superiority, causal certainty, or proven collective intelligence.

Installation

pip install codontrace==0.3.0a2

CodonTrace Genesis v0.3.0a1 — Public Alpha Research Release

CodonTrace Genesis v0.3.0a1 — Public Alpha Research Release

This is the first public alpha release of CodonTrace Genesis, a deterministic Python research library for digital evolution, causal mechanism auditing, replayable artificial life experiments, and evidence-gated AI/evolution studies.

CodonTrace Genesis is designed as a library-as-tool. It provides experimental primitives, audit records, deterministic replay, evidence manifests, and scientific guardrails for controlled research workflows. It does not hard-code intelligence, success, or scientific conclusions.

Highlights

• Deterministic replay and digest-backed experiment records
• Digital evolution primitives for genome, mutation, birth, lineage, selection, survival, and death diagnostics
• Capsule-mediated signaling and communication-ablation policies
• Signal → memory → action causal audit records
• Skill compression and child-outcome audit support
• Role mechanics, heldout partner evaluation, and collective-task evidence paths
• Open-endedness-oriented metrics for novelty, persistence, learnability, adaptive success, and behavior-space expansion
• Claim-gated scientific reporting to separate descriptive observations from stronger causal claims
• Public README, citation metadata, release evidence, examples, and CI validation

Python support

This public alpha release targets:

• Python 3.11
• Python 3.12
• Python 3.13
• Python 3.14

The GitHub Actions CI matrix validates the release-critical path across the supported Python versions.

Research status

This is an alpha research software release.

It is intended for:

• API exploration
• controlled artificial life and digital evolution experiments
• deterministic replay testing
• mechanism-level audits
• early research software review
• preparation for PyPI distribution, Zenodo DOI archival, public technical documentation, and future JOSS-style research software work

It is not presented as a final peer-reviewed benchmark result.

Evidence and governance

This release includes evidence-oriented project metadata and governance files, including:

• README.md
• CITATION.cff
• RELEASE_EVIDENCE.md
• CHANGELOG.md
• pyproject.toml
• GitHub Actions CI workflows
• examples and tests for release-critical behavior

The scientific policy is intentionally conservative: placeholder data, empty digests, fake evidence, not_run:*, NaN, Infinity, or unexecuted artifacts are not treated as positive scientific evidence.
