Alpha warning

This remains an experimental public alpha, not a production-ready security boundary. Linux and macOS are unverified, OpenRouter is not live-tested, sc-memory is not wired into the runtime, and shell arguments are not workspace-bounded. RustSec also reports the unmaintained paste crate transitively through the optional TurboVec feature; this is a maintenance warning, not a known vulnerability.

See CHANGELOG.md, docs/STATUS.md, docs/SECURITY_MODEL.md, and THREAT_MODEL.md for the full status and limitations.
