Comic Sol v2.0.0rc2
v2.0.0rc2 is the Comic Quality prerelease of Comic Sol. It keeps the native distribution and exact 17-tool MCP surface from RC1 while adding fail-closed quality provenance from source panels through the exported PDF.
Comic Quality highlights
- Deterministic panel normalization for PNG, JPEG, WebP, and EXIF-oriented inputs, with bounded dimensions, canonical output, and source/hash provenance.
- Typography preflight for regular and bold text, combining marks, and explicit unsupported-script fallback before prior lettering is replaced.
- Immutable layout registry with the existing layouts plus canonical
four-gridcomposition. - Transactional lettering geometry, page composition cache, and schema 2.0 panel and page QA records.
- Page QA that separates deterministic observations from reviewer-authored visual checks and fails closed when evidence is missing or stale.
- Full-content PDF verification against every source page raster, with ordered page, page-QA, dimension, and SHA-256 bindings.
- A deterministic quality matrix covering continuity, layouts, dense text, orientation, formats, typography, retry paths, warning/hard-failure outcomes, and interrupted resume.
- Explicit evidence provenance: deterministic evidence proves mechanics only; retained live-visual evidence must disclose provider/model, attempt hash, references, reviewer method, and limitations.
Distribution
- Portable bundled runtimes for Linux, macOS, and Windows x86_64.
- Transactional user-local installers with checksum verification, health checks, rollback, idempotent reinstall, and project-preserving uninstall.
- Stable CLI and exact 17-tool MCP stdio lifecycle from the same packaged engine.
- Non-root OCI image using
/datafor persistent projects. - Per-platform metadata declaring
signature_status: unsigned, CycloneDX SBOM files, and globalSHA256SUMS.
See docs/install.md for verified install, upgrade, rollback, uninstall, and container instructions.
Verification
Before running an archive:
- Download the platform archive and
SHA256SUMSover HTTPS. - Calculate SHA-256 locally and compare it exactly.
- Inspect the platform metadata and CycloneDX SBOM.
- Run the installer, then confirm
comic-sol --versionandcomic-sol doctor.
Known limitations
- Native artifacts are unsigned and are not notarized. Windows SmartScreen or macOS Gatekeeper may warn.
- This RC publishes x86_64 archives only; no arm64 artifact is claimed.
- The OCI image is built and smoke-tested in CI but is not pushed to an external registry by this workflow.
- Deterministic fixtures prove mechanics only, not live visual quality. Live image quality still depends on the image capability and retained attempt supplied by the calling agent.
- Provider credentials and network provider SDKs remain outside the base package.
Report failures with the platform, archive filename, checksum result, and sanitized doctor output.
