All CLI archives were built on their native GitHub-hosted runner, passed nicechunk-miner self-test, and include binary SHA-256 values in SHA256SUMS. The Web/WASM archive passed consistency and local-only browser tests. Archive hashes are published as adjacent .sha256 assets, the aggregate SHA256SUMS, and release-manifest.json.
Native NCM4 offspring evaluation is batched across all persistent islands, allowing --threads to use cores beyond the configured island count while preserving fixed-seed and checkpoint results. The separate Linux x86_64 CUDA archive adds GPU batch rasterization and residual prefiltering; every promoted candidate still passes independent CPU decode and exact semantic verification.
NCM4 Alpha adds the distinct NC4P/NCM4P: exact building codec, language preflight, persistent multi-island search, checkpoint/resume, and NCM3 fallback when NCM4 is not smaller. ChunkBroken v1, unchanged NCM3 v1, and complete NCF1 v15 import remain supported. Terrain and forged-item NCM4 currently use exact wrappers rather than the compact building grammar. This native/WASM research preview does not submit transactions or issue rewards.
