Tag: r1-2026-08-14

Asset: Project_Shadow_R1_Public_Release_Candidate_2026-08-14.zip
Bytes: 7,679,812

This is the exact-hash authorized canonical R1 reference archive. Its preserved
filename and internal status retain the build-time word Candidate; the later
external authorization recorded in the commit-pinned human-readable
receipt and machine-readable
record satisfies the publication gate for these exact
bytes without rewriting the archive.
The package contains:
- exact admitted R1 Beta2 family root SHA-256
075b41ea4186b2d2edb0ed246ab7662cf8bbdf3160294e3eca176b9d0857b108; - exact Primitive Commons beta.5 family root SHA-256
1ffdba41025c0b81da92d0bbb22d0eaa69488cffbc80936365034669110448d7; - the exact admission record and Sigstore evidence;
- the independent signature-verification receipt; and
- public governance, audit, rights, limitation, manifest, checksum, and
verification material.
The optional v0.3.4 external research sidecar is not embedded. It is distributed
separately under its own mixed-rights terms and remains default off, unadmitted,
and outside R1 conformance.
Verify the downloaded file against both the byte count and SHA-256 above. After
that check, a current checkout of this repository can apply the prospective
outer-archive preflight before extraction:
python3 -I -S -B tools/verify_public_release.py \
/path/to/Project_Shadow_R1_Public_Release_Candidate_2026-08-14.zipThe exact ZIP and its embedded verifier remain frozen historical artifacts;
the repository verifier adds later archive-safety limits without rewriting the
release. After extraction, run the packaged verifier:
python3 -I -S -B tools/verify_public_release.py .For fresh Level 2 cryptographic verification, the admission record's Rekor log
index is 2465982078 and its entry UUID is
108e9186e8c5677a5ce4e9ea6d6aaf7b7a6aabe12b6a3f0d9202da3ede22684c3c90780f2f313a79.
Inspect that exact entry in Sigstore Search,
then run from the extracted R1 root:
cosign verify-blob \

The raw command does not enforce those file hashes; the full two-level
guide
documents the repository wrapper that does.
Download the named release asset above. Do not substitute GitHub's
automatically generated “Source code (zip)” or “Source code (tar.gz)” archives;
those are repository snapshots, not the authorized R1 release archive.
This release does not authorize production or operational deployment,
efficacy, safety, certification, legal-compliance claims, or expansion beyond
the stated scope.
