decern v0.1.0
First release.
A deterministic authorization kernel for agents, people, and services — all one kind of principal, answered by the same function. Nine safety invariants are machine-checked by cvc5 over every case the model allows; every decision is recorded in a tamper-evident, hash-chained ledger anyone can verify offline.
Binaries
Prebuilt decern (prove · decide · verify) and decern-serve (fail-closed PDP) for:
- Linux x86_64 — static musl
- Linux aarch64 — static musl
- macOS Apple Silicon (aarch64)
- Windows x86_64
Unpack the archive for your platform and put both binaries on your PATH.
Intel macOS: build from source — cargo install decern-cli decern-server.

What "proven" means
cvc5 proves the kernel's nine invariants — not that a given policy says what you meant, and never that a deployment is secure. See the repository's "known limitations".
