Columna 0.11.1 — warehouse coherence + the framework description

Columna 0.11.1 — release notes (RATIFIED, Huayin, 2026-07-19).

Warehouse coherence (columna-server 0.6.1, data-only)

A patch that makes the Cascadia demo warehouse cohere with its own transaction ground truth. A stranger-read of the generated exhibits (verified at the desk) found the reference and summary tables had drifted incoherent with the facts: customer FK coverage was 2,051/19,995, and the stale summaries ran 10–15× off base truth — which contradicted the burn story, where the summaries are meant to be plausibly wrong, the kind nobody notices, never wild.

The fix keeps the doctrine intact: transactions and eom_inventory are the ground truth and stay untouched — every recorded number delivers from them, and the E1–E10 seeds and both transcripts' figures are byte-stable across the regen. The reference and summary tables are regenerated derived-then-degraded: the warehouse now derives its lies from the truth — each summary computed from base fact, then wearing exactly the one story-sin it exists to teach (a customer base that covers the full id space — ~10,157; a daily-revenue summary true but for its 15 missing days; an "order value" that quietly divides by transactions; a visitor count double-counted per store; an inventory total that illegally sums a stock across time). A new permanent suite asserts the coherence — 100% FK coverage, each summary within its declared-sin tolerance of base truth — so the class can't recur.

Metapackage description (columna 0.11.1)

The positioning correction reaches the package index: the columna metapackage description moves from "honest metrics engine" to the ratified framework line — an honest data framework (Manifold, FrameQL, an honest engine).

columna-core is unchanged at 0.11.0.
