RELEASE NOTES: v0.5.0 "The Unified Engine Baseline"

Date: 2026-01-24
Status: Hardened, Deployed, & Verified
Coverage: 88.08% (Unified)

The Core Transplant

Version 0.5.0 marks the transition of the Parametric Geometry Explorer into a professional-grade 3D engine. By migrating to Vite and implementing a multi-threaded worker architecture, we have unlocked high-performance shape generation that remains responsive even during complex mathematical evaluations.

Key Features & Architectural Shifts

  • Asynchronous Geometry: Vertex math now lives in a dedicated Web Worker, preventing UI "jank."
  • JIT HUD Explorer: Edit formulas directly in the browser. Transition from a "shape explorer" to a "mathematical author" with real-time feedback.
  • Unified Testing Fortress: A merged testing pipeline (Jest + Playwright) ensuring the engine behaves identically across Chrome, Firefox, and Safari (Webkit).
  • Performance-First Memory: Implemented Zero-Copy transfers for vertex buffers to maximize throughput between threads.

Stability & Security

  • Resilient Reporting: Fixed 404 regressions by aligning automated README links with an explicit nested directory structure (/monocart-report and /playwright-report).
  • Hardened CI: 100% pass rate across 115 enterprise-grade tests.
  • Always-On Coverage: Local development environments are now fully instrumented by default, ensuring "it works on my machine" translates to "it works in production."
  • Privacy Guard: Programmatic scrubbing of internal file paths and metadata from all public-facing reports.
  • Subpath Resilience: Improved URL handling for GitHub Pages deployment.
  • The "Safety Fuse" CI: Implemented a strictly sequential CI pipeline. Deployment is gated behind a full test-suite clearance; if a mathematical invariant or logic test fails, the "fuse" blows and the live site is protected from receiving the broken update.

New (DRAFT) Documentation

  • Architecture: docs/ARCHITECTURE.md
  • Authority Contract: docs/PARAMETRIC_AUTHORITY.md
  • Implementation Rules: docs/IMPLEMENTATION_NOTES.md

AI-Human Collaboration

This release was co-authored with Large Language Models (LLMs). AI provided high-velocity debugging and infrastructure implementation, while the Human Operator served as the Epistemic Anchor, and worked to maintain architectural authority, working to ensure every decision adhered to the project's foundational mathematical invariants.

Next Milestone: v0.5.1 - See TODO.md docs/TODO.md
