#RELEASE NOTES#

OPT v1.0.0 establishes the first stable release of the QSOL optimization catalog: a provenance-aware repository of reusable performance patterns, implementation guidance, validation contracts, and evidence boundaries for future QSOL development.

This release turns OPT from a minimal repository into a reusable optimization vault covering deterministic testing, invariant-driven reuse, trust-preserving Lean CI, bounded parallel execution, and control-rate/sparse/vectorized DSP.

Highlights

Reusable optimization catalog

The initial catalog contains five optimization records:

  • OPT-PY-001 — Deterministic Test Execution

    • minimal deterministic fixtures
    • vectorized assertions
    • bounded deterministic caches
    • convergence and cycle early exits
    • sweep reduction
    • repeated-work elimination

  • OPT-INV-001 — Invariant-Driven Computation Reuse

    • reuse only where equivalence is established
    • preserve reference-path validation
    • avoid cargo-cult caching and unsafe memoization

  • OPT-LEAN-001 — Trust-Preserving Lean CI

    • verified dependency reuse
    • isolated cold-trust reconstruction
    • source and artifact integrity checks
    • explicit distinction between cache acceleration and proof trust

  • OPT-PAR-001 — Bounded Deterministic Parallel Execution

    • scalar/parallel equivalence
    • bounded worker pools
    • deterministic ordering
    • requested-versus-observed worker accounting
    • environment-scoped performance evidence

  • OPT-DSP-001 — Control-Rate, Sparse and Vectorized DSP

    • control-rate separation
    • sparse coupling
    • shared intermediate computation
    • vectorized block synthesis
    • explicit separation between implemented reference mechanisms and unverified native-performance claims

Repository Interface

v1.0.0 introduces the repository structure used by both humans and implementation agents:

  • expanded README.md
  • README4AI.md
  • AGENTS.md
  • CATALOG.md
  • reusable optimization-record template
  • provenance and source documentation

The catalog is designed around a simple rule:

Correctness outranks speed.

Optimization records must preserve the relevant scientific, deterministic, formal, numerical, or evidentiary contract. A faster result that changes the meaning of the computation is not an optimization.

Evidence and Provenance Model

OPT now distinguishes between:

  • verified mechanisms
  • environment-specific measurements
  • implemented references
  • proposed techniques
  • source candidates

Benchmark numbers are not treated as universal constants. Historical measurements remain attached to their source context, and adaptations are expected to be re-measured on the target environment.

The release also corrects the QEC optimization lineage by separating the v68.x deterministic-test work from the later v170.x multicore benchmark evidence.

Safe Source-Archive Auditing

v1.0.0 includes a bounded, non-extracting recursive ZIP inventory system developed to inspect the preserved suxen.zip source candidate without promoting unsupported claims.

The scanner supports:

  • recursive nested ZIP inspection
  • ordinary and self-extracting ZIPs
  • rebased and non-rebased SFX offsets
  • text/source detection
  • UTF-8, BOM-marked UTF-16 and UTF-32 handling
  • Windows and POSIX path traversal rejection
  • terminal-safe diagnostic output
  • bounded recursive labels
  • nested ZIP, general-member, text, compressed-data and total-output budgets
  • bounded DEFLATE, BZIP2 and LZMA decompression
  • LZMA dictionary workspace limits
  • local/central filename and flag validation
  • CRC and actual-size verification
  • overlapping-entry rejection
  • unsupported ZIP64 and multi-disk rejection
  • central-directory and member-count preflight
  • bounded keyword-hit reporting
  • fail-closed incomplete-inventory semantics

The archive remains a source candidate. Inventory hits are not automatically promoted into optimization records.

Validation

The final v1.0.0 implementation passed the complete ZIP inventory regression suite and the bundled suxen.zip audit before merge.

The final validation state included:

  • 43 tests passing
  • 14 archives scanned
  • 13 nested archives
  • 607 members inspected
  • 501 text/source members scanned
  • 28,935,445 bytes of actual decompressed content validated
  • 1,370 optimization-related hits
  • inventory_complete=true

Stability Boundary

v1.0.0 establishes the baseline contract for future OPT development:

  1. correctness before speed;
  2. measured and proposed techniques remain distinct;
  3. deterministic, reference, or conformance paths are retained where required;
  4. environment-specific constants are not copied blindly;
  5. provenance remains attached to optimization claims;
  6. safety or trust boundaries may not be weakened merely to improve performance.

Future releases can extend the catalog with additional optimization families while preserving these invariants.
