Where to look

• CHANGELOG.md - full feature list, env vars, known limitations
• BENCHMARKS.md - per-campaign methodology + headline numbers
• book/ - long-form architecture + operations docs

Alpha status

Alpha tag is intentional: wire format, C ABI, S3 key layout, and chain hashes may break before 0.1.0. Do not pin production workloads to this release.
