ContextLattice v3.20.3 - Receipts Before Release
ContextLattice v3.20.3: Receipts Before Release
ContextLattice already refused to publish a paid artifact whose source identity drifted. v3.20.3 closes the next gap: exact source proof is necessary, but it is not enough. A release must also satisfy the complete evaluation contract behind its product claim.
The CLI remains the primary interface. HTTP remains the integration fallback.
What changed
- Release provenance now runs the complete program eval-ledger audit for Utility Ledger releases, in addition to commercial-truth validation.
- The release ledger carries exact causal arms, denominator separation, latency, cost, tool calls, bounded storage, failure review, rollback, independent review, and negative entitlement evidence as one contract.
- Starter and Team retain read-only Utility Analytics. Governed efficiency-policy evaluation is now correctly bound to Operator and Enterprise.
- The policy response contract identifies
frontier_verified_efficiency_operations; analytics remainsfrontier_utility_analytics. - Focused regressions prevent a commercially valid but program-incomplete ledger from reaching the installer workflow again.
What did not change
- The public local Utility Ledger, exact token accounting, CLI receipts, and readback behavior.
- Causal gain still requires exact matched controls; negative gains and exclusions remain visible.
- Policy evaluation remains advisory-only. It cannot silently mutate retrieval policy or ordinary memory.
- Third-party agent harnesses remain optional, and the CLI remains the prescribed product path.
Release lineage
Public v3.20.2 remains a valid release. The paid v3.20.2-public-paid tag stopped before any installer asset was built and remains asset-free. v3.20.3-public-paid is the first paid patch in this train authorized by both the exact-source and complete-evaluation gates.
Rollback
Disable GO_UTILITY_LEDGER_ENABLED to stop the derived ledger without changing authoritative Context Pack outcomes, exact token-impact rows, or session verification events. Efficiency-policy operations fail closed outside an entitled Operator or Enterprise runtime.
