    • Full suite completes in ~30 seconds on Raspberry Pi 5

✨ Features from v0.1.5

  • JWK and PEM export/import support
  • TTL expiration for JWS tokens
  • Pluggable key storage (Memory, Env, File with encryption)
  • Authlib interoperability validation

📚 Documentation

  • Comprehensive security documentation (THREAT_MODEL.md, CRYPTO_RATIONALE.md)
  • Clean documentation structure for public repository
  • Fuzzing configuration guide for CI/CD
  • Testing best practices guide
  • Clear migration path to enterprise SSI

⚠️ Breaking Changes

  • verify_jws() now raises specific exception types instead of generic Exception
