PaperSpine5 0.3.0-rc.1

PaperSpine5 is a local-first research production workspace that connects paper
configuration, contribution confirmation, scientific-figure review, and final
delivery inspection. This prerelease adds the five-stage workspace UI while
preserving the existing WUBING2023/PaperSpine repository and update identity.

Boundaries

Automatic update remains disabled by default and requires explicit opt-in at
launch. This RC has no independent cryptographic signature, second clean-machine
validation, macOS/Linux host run, or real remote old-to-new update validation.
Publishing this software never authorizes an external manuscript submission.

Scientific-figure export acknowledges the open-source
img2ppt project. The Community Atlas
shows public GitHub stargazer aggregates only; it is not an install count,
active-user count, capability metric, paper count, or adoption claim.
