v0.2.0

An honest gauge for your coding agents.

What each binary is verified to be

The honest-gauge rule applies to the platforms as well as the numbers: the
label says what was measured, not what is expected to work.

Download	Verification
windows_amd64	Windows is the continuously verified target. Every commit runs vet, the suite, the build and binary-level smokes on windows-latest (ADR-002), and this release ran that same gate before these artifacts were built.
darwin_amd64	Smoke-verified on Intel macOS — Windows is the continuously verified target. Point-in-time: the suite, the build, the statusline smokes, a 53-session live Claude Code read and the HUD all ran on Intel macOS at 052a9d6 (ADR-005, second amendment). CI has never run on macOS, and four of the five adapters have still never met a live macOS corpus.
darwin_arm64	Built, not verified. Cross-compiled and never run on Apple Silicon by this project. Shipped rather than withheld because a labelled binary is more useful than no binary — but the label is the claim, and it is the whole claim.
linux_amd64	Built, not verified. Cross-compiled and never run on Linux by this project. Same label, same reason.

Verify a download against checksums.txt before running it.
